handles personal information, which you may provide as a
job seeker of this Website and of BRS Application Service
Provider eRecruitment Management
Software solutions (BRS ASP).
BigRedSky has adopted
the National Principles for Fair Handling of Personal
Information introduced by the Australian Federal Privacy
Commission and as supported by the Privacy Amendment
(Private Sector) Bill 2000. BRS is committed to treat
all personal information in line with the best privacy
practices.
Please note that in addition to these statements
BigRedSky is
committed to comply with the Internet Industry
Association's Internet Industry Code of Practice. The

The following Privacy Policy is applicable to job seekers
whom respond to job applications posted on Client's branded
BRS A.S.P. website,
and to job seekers whom have registered with Client's
branded BRS
A.S.P.
2. BRS ASP purpose
BRS ASP is a
Client (the recruiting organisation) specific branded
database which enables the job seeker to respond to job
applications advertised by the Client. Each Client has it's
own secure database as a segment of the main BRS ASP database, all
centrally stored on a BRS ASP server, sharing the
advantages of low Total Costs of Ownership, security and
upgradeability.
No data can be shared or accessed between one Client and
another, even though their databases may reside on the same
physical servers.
BRS may appear
transparently as being fully integrated into a Customer's
website, or as a standalone website "backend" branded as
the Client organisation.
BigRedSky has no
interest in intervention or access to any data provided on
a Customer 's BRS
database, other than if BRS has been granted access
specifically by the Customer for the purpose of fault
rectification or data export for the Customer's own
specific use.
BigRedSky will enforce
the security and privacy of job seeker data to the extent
of our rights within the ASPLA (Application Service
Provider Licence Agreements) between the Customer and
BigRedSky, which details the obligations of each part in
respect to the use of information on the site and Customer
databases.
BigRedSky will be
indemnified by the Customer for any breach of Privacy of
Customer data or Job seeker data, according to the
BigRedSky General
Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use, and BigRedSky General Privacy
Conditions.

for any unauthorised use of the password as a consequence
of a failure to change your password upon our
request.

BigRedSky has no
interest in the collection of personal information of job

BRS A.S.P. Services
into their own website for their own use as an employer
seeking applications to genuine job advertisements. The
BRS A.S.P. system
collects your personal information as provided by you, on
behalf of the organisation for which you have submitted the

used exclusively by that organisation. The BRS system will only

5. Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website can
transfer to an individual's computer hard drive. Cookies
can be used for record keeping and statistical information,
and to maintain a connection between the user and a
database on a web server. Cookies can make using websites
easier to use by storing information about your preferences
on a particular website. The information remains on your
computer after the Internet session finishes. Many people
find the concept of Cookies intrusive, therefore most
popular Internet browsers have the ability to warn the user
of Cookies, or disable them from being stored on the user's
computer.
BRS requires that
a Cookie is transmitted and stored on the user's computer
soley to maintain the connection between the website server
and the user (job applicant). This is called a session
variable for the purposes of BRS Services. BRS may, however, choose to
use cookies for other purposes to improve BRS Products. If you
normally prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your
Internet browser to warn you when cookies are being
used.
6. Use and Disclosure of Information
Our licence agreement with organisations that use
BRS products and

product you have requested. We will not sell, rent, trade,

We may retain some personal information to troubleshoot
problems or enforce any of the Terms of Use. Further, the
personal information you have supplied to us, although
archived within our systems and made inaccessible, may
never be completely removed from our databases due to
technical constraints and the fact that we back up our
systems. Similarly, the nature of the internet involves
many different servers and internet service providers, many
of which will back up data. Although your information is
largely inaccessible and unidentifiable, the data does
remain. It is not possible to entirely eliminate data from
the internet.

secure.

another, even though their databases may reside on the same
physical servers.
We have no intervention or access to any data provided on
a Client's BRS
database, other than if BRS has been granted access
specifically by the Client for the purpose of fault
rectification or data export for the Client's own specific
use.
