This website is owned and operated by DOTS Talent Solutions Pty. Ltd (ABN 78 070 917 289) (DOTS Talent Solutions) under the domain name “www.dotstalent.com” (referred to as the “DOTS Website”).
This Security and Privacy Statement may also apply to services offered by DOTS Talent Solutions on websites hosted by Third Parties (Third Party Websites). If so, express reference to this Security and Privacy Statement will be made on those Third Party Websites.
DOTS Talent Solutions understands and appreciates that you, as a DOTS Website visitor, may be concerned about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information we may gain about you online. DOTS Talent Solutions is a responsible modern organisation and as such is committed to protecting your privacy. This Security and Privacy Statement explains how your personal information will be treated as you access and interact with the DOTS Website.
As the DOTS Website develops and as technology evolves, DOTS Talent Solutions will continue to strive to provide you with better and more customised services and with a more effective website. DOTS Talent Solutions encourages you to review the Security and Privacy Statement periodically because the Security and Privacy Statement may change from time to time.
Security of information
In accordance with the National Privacy Principles as contained in the Australian Federal Privacy Act, DOTS Talent Solutions will take all reasonable steps to preserve the security of cookie and personal information in accordance with the DOTS Website Terms of Use and this Security and Privacy Statement. If your browser is suitably configured, it will advise you whether the information you are sending us will be secure (encrypted) or not secure (unencrypted). If secure transmission is indicated, DOTS Talent Solutions currently uses 128 bit SSL encryption.
DOTS Talent Solutions regularly reviews developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although DOTS Talent Solutions strives to protect such information, DOTS Talent Solutions cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our own systems.
Information collected
The information that DOTS Talent Solutions collects about you is dependent on how you use the facilities offered by the DOTS Website.
If you visit an insecure area of the DOTS Website (that is, an area where you are not required to log on) to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. However, our systems will not record any personally identifiable information.
The DOTS Website offers a number of interactive facilities including online surveys and application forms. If you use any of these tools any personal information that you may enter when using such tools may be retained by DOTS Talent Solutions and if it is then DOTS Talent Solutions will reasonably endeavour to keep such captured personal information secure.
If you are a client of DOTS Talent Solutions and you grant DOTS Talent Solutions access to your instance of the DOTS Software Application then DOTS Talent Solutions will only use such access for the purpose of correcting an error to the DOTS Software Application, or providing assistance as requested by you or your recognised representative. DOTS Talent Solutions will not disclose without your specific written consent (unless required by law) any information especially personal information about any person or persons to whom that information may relate.
Where you access a Third Party Website from the DOTS Website, cookie information, information about your preferences or other information you have provided about yourself may be shared between us and the Third Party. You cannot usually be identified from the information that is shared; if you can be identified from this information, we will reasonably attempt to seek your consent before sharing such information.
Third Party websites should contain their own privacy statements and those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices.

Cookies
We use “cookies” as a fundamental part of our interaction with your Internet browser. The purpose is to provide you with better and more customised service and with a more effective website.
