Lloyd Harrington is committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information. Our commitment is under-pined by our belief that one's privacy should be treated with the utmost sensitivity, not only for our candidates but also for our clients and our staff. While we must comply with the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000, the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 and the privacy provisions of all applicable legislation, maintaining your privacy is also the right thing to do.
We hope our efforts will create trust between all parties concerned resulting in a mutually beneficial lasting relationship.

Subject to some exceptions which are set out in the National Privacy Principles (Principle 6 - Access and Correction), a candidate or contractor who requests information can gain access to the personal information we hold about them by making written application to their Lloyd Harrington Representative or Consultant.
The Privacy Amendment [Private Sector] Act 2000 provides that a company may require the applicant to meet the reasonable costs of providing this access. Our company's charge for this service is $50.00. This fee covers our costs to locate, access and copy your information.
Please note that our application for access to personal information is a lengthy process, as we are careful that the information being accessed is by the person the information belongs to.
If your personal information changes please contact us and we will endeavour to update and correct the information. We may also contact you from time to time to check the information is still correct. If you become aware that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is not accurate, complete or up-to-date, we will take reasonable steps to correct it. In order to do so please inform us in writing of the changes.
We will store your personal information for a reasonable period of time necessary for us to provide services to you. At any time at your request in writing, we will destroy your personal information. We will do this for any lawful request.
We will keep your information in a secure environment. We attempt to keep our server secure and free from unauthorised access and use, by enforcing physical security at the premises in which the server is located, and by using industry standard technological measures to prevent unauthorised remote access to the server.
Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 per cent secure. Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorised access to your information. Although we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to such information.
All information sought and collected is required for our business purposes. You understand and accept each of the statements in this collection statement and voluntary consent to:
