PRIVACY POLICY

Protection of your personal information is important to AHP Connect. The way in which AHP Connect (“we”, “us”, “our”) collect, use, store and disclose personal information in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act, including those contained in the Australian Privacy Principles (“APP”) is set out below. This Privacy Policy also constitutes a collection statement for the purposes of the Privacy Act.

We only collect information that is reasonably necessary for the proper performance of our activities or functions and services.

We do not collect personal information just because we think it could be useful at some future stage if we have no present need for it.

We may decline to collect unsolicited personal information from or about you and take steps to purge it from our systems.

We manage personal information as if we are an APP Entity under the APPs.

We may at times be a contracted service provider to a range of Commonwealth, State and/or Territory government agencies. Consequently, in those circumstances it will be necessary for us to collect and manage personal information as an Agency under different privacy arrangements.

AHP Connects adheres to the AHP Group’s Privacy Policy.

COOKIES POLICY

This website uses cookies, pixel tags, Web Beacons, and other web technologies such as CAPTCHA’s to improve the website’s performance, to enhance your browsing experience and to protect the website against spam robots. Certain areas of the website also use cookies to understand more about you, so we can offer you more personalised browsing experience. We use a simple counter, without storing any information on your device, to count the number of visitors who accept or decline our cookies.

You can find out more about cookies and how to manage them in the information below. You can change your cookie settings and disable some or all cookies for the website at any time at [insert link]. You can also change your browser settings so that cookies cannot be placed on your device.

If you have and questions in relation to the cookies we use please contact us.

What are Web Beacons?

We advertise on third-party web sites. As part of our effort to track the success of our advertising campaigns, we may at times use a visitor identification technology such as “web beacons”, or “action tags”, which count visitors who have come to the website after being exposed to an AHP Connects banner or job ad on a third-party site. We do not use this technology to access your personal information and it is only used to compile aggregated statistics about visitors who come to the website to gauge the effectiveness of our ads.

What is a Cookie?

A “cookie” is a technology that allows the website to store tokens of information (an “identifier”) in your browser used by the website while you are on the website. Cookies are then sent back to the website on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognises that cookie. Cookies are used in order to make the website work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited the website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

When landing on this website, you have been given the opportunity to accept cookies used on the website, to accept certain categories of cookies and decline others, or to decline all cookies. If you have accepted our use of some or all cookies, the following information relates to cookies used on the website only. Please note that any consent to accept or to decline cookies is limited to this website only and not to any other pages, which may be hyperlinked to our website. For more information on cookies used by those websites, please refer to the specific privacy notice or cookie policy on those websites. If you have any questions, please contact us.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

  • First party cookies served directly by us to your device; and
  • Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies”, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “permanent cookies”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the website to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

What types of cookies do we use?

The website uses the cookies that perform four functions, as classified below:

  • Essential/strictly necessary cookies, which are essential to the functioning of the website.
  • Performance cookies, which help us measure the website’s performance and improve your experience. In using performance cookies we do not store any personal data, and only use the information collected through these cookies in aggregated and anonymised form;
  • Functionality cookies, which allow us to enhance your experience (for example by remembering any settings you may have selected);
  • Advertising/targeting cookies, which we use to track user activity and sessions so that we can deliver a more personalised service, and (in the case of advertising cookies) which are set by the third parties with whom we execute advertising campaigns and allow us to provide advertisements relevant to you; and
  • Social media cookies, which allow you to share content on social media channels (such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter).

In addition, we also utilise cookies on certain pages of the website to communicate with third party data suppliers in order to extrapolate your digital behaviour. This help us to understand and target more relevant advertising in the future. The information we receive is all aggregate and anonymous, but will include statistics such as demographics, online behaviour, service or product interests and lifestyle.

Targeting and tracking cookies are provided via trusted third party suppliers. Should you require more information regarding our suppliers and how these cookies operate please contact us.

How to control or delete cookies

You can block all cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.
