Recruitment United Privacy Policy
Recruitment United is committed to providing quality services to our members and visitors, and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations in respect to how we manage your Personal Information.
We have adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure, and dispose of your Personal Information.
A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
1. Third Parties
Where reasonable and practicable, we will collect your Personal Information directly from you. However, in some cases we may receive information from third parties — for example, through event registrations, training partners, or software providers. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are made aware of any information we receive.
2. Sensitive Information
Sensitive information is defined under the Privacy Act to include details such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, membership of associations, criminal records, or health information.
We will only use sensitive information:
- For the primary purpose for which it was obtained
- For a secondary purpose directly related to the primary purpose
- With your consent
- Where required or authorised by law
3. What Personal Information We Collect and Why
Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples include names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
Recruitment United collects this information so we can:
- Provide membership services, training, and events
- Share updates, insights, and relevant resources
- Offer exclusive discounts on tools, platforms, and partner services
- Build and maintain our community of recruitment leaders
- Communicate with you about membership opportunities
We may collect your Personal Information through membership sign-ups, events, training sessions, email communication, our website, cookies, publicly available sources, and third parties.
You may unsubscribe from our marketing and mailing lists at any time by contacting us in writing.

- Where you consent to the use or disclosure
- Where required or authorised by law
5. Security of Personal Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
When your Personal Information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify it. However, most information is retained securely for a minimum of 7 years in accordance with legal and professional obligations.
6. Access to Your Personal Information
You may request access to the Personal Information we hold about you, or request that it be updated or corrected, subject to certain exceptions. To do so, please contact us in writing.
Recruitment United will not charge you a fee for accessing your Personal Information but may charge an administrative fee for providing a copy of it.
We may require proof of identification before releasing any information to ensure your privacy is protected.
7. Maintaining the Quality of Your Personal Information
It’s important to us that your Personal Information is accurate and up to date. We will take reasonable steps to ensure the information we hold is correct. If you believe your details are inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us so we can update our records.
