Privacy Policy
At Momentum Search and Selection, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our clients, candidates, employees, and other individuals who engage with our services.
This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Information We Collect
We may collect and process personal information, including but not limited to contact details, employment history, education, references, identification documents, financial information, and other relevant data.
We may also collect sensitive information (e.g. health, criminal history) where necessary and with explicit consent.
Information is collected directly or from referees, employers, and public sources where appropriate.
Use of Personal Information
We use personal information for recruitment, communication, verification, compliance, internal operations, service improvement, and marketing (with consent).
By providing your information, you consent to its use in accordance with this policy.
Use of Artificial Intelligence
We may use AI tools to support recruitment processes and internal operations.
All AI use is subject to human oversight. No decisions significantly affecting individuals are made solely by automated systems.
Responsible AI Use
We implement governance, monitoring, and training to ensure ethical AI use. Data is minimised, anonymised and encrypted where possible, and only used where necessary.
Third-party providers are assessed and contractual safeguards applied.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose information to clients, referees, service providers, regulators, or in business transactions with consent.
Some providers may be overseas; we take reasonable steps to ensure APP compliance.
Data Security
We use physical, technical, and administrative safeguards including secure systems, encryption, and access controls.
We also implement safeguards specifically relating to Digital and AI-enabled systems, including restricted system access, monitoring, and secure data handling protocols.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as necessary and then securely destroyed or de-identified.
Access and Correction
You may request access or correction of your personal information in writing.
