Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the My Guardian Group website wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the My Guardian Group website seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the website constitutes your consent. Sometimes these permissions require more explanation than the platforms themselves provide, and the permissions we request will change over time, so we’ve created these pages to serve as authoritative and up-to-date resources for our users. To learn about the platform-level permissions that the website seeks, please visit our new iOS Permissions page and Android Permissions page.
6.1 Android Devices
Android is a privilege-separated operating system, in which each application runs with a distinct system identity. A central design point of the Android security architecture is that no application, by default, has permission to perform any operations that would adversely impact other applications, the operating system, or the user. This includes reading or writing the user’s private data (such as contacts or emails), reading or writing another application’s files, performing network access, keeping the device awake, and so on.
A basic Android application has no permissions associated with it by default, meaning it cannot do anything that would adversely impact the user experience or any data on the device.
6.2 iPhone
System security is designed so that both software and hardware are secure across all core components of every iOS device. Apple regularly releases software updates to address emerging security concerns and also provide new features; these updates are provided for all supported devices simultaneously. Users receive iOS update notifications on the device and through iTunes, and updates are delivered wirelessly, encouraging rapid adoption of the latest security fixes. To protect your iPhone against any threats, you need to make sure you’re running the latest version of Apple’s operating system.
Subject to some exceptions which are set out in the National Privacy Principles (Principle 6 – Access and Correction), you have a right to see and have a copy of personal and sensitive information about you that we hold. If your personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, we will take reasonable steps to correct it so that it is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If we are unable to agree that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date, you may be requested to provide a statement that claims that particular information is not accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you wish to exercise your rights of access and correction you should contact our office at 1800 694 827.
Private Employment Agents (Code of Conduct) Regulation 2005
Information Statement for Work Seekers (Other than Models and Performers)
Your relationship with a private employment agent is regulated by a number of Commonwealth and State laws, in particular, the Private Employment Agents Act 2005 and the Private Employment Agents (Code of Conduct) Regulation 2005 (the Code).
Prior to providing you with placement and employment services, we are obliged as a private employment agent, to provide you, as a work seeker, with the following information:
We must not charge you a fee for finding or attempting to find work for you in contravention of section 408D of the Industrial Relations Act 1999.
We and our employees have a working knowledge of State and Commonwealth legislation affecting the placement and employment of work seekers.
We will ensure that all placements are made in accordance with any relevant legislative requirements.
The Privacy Act 1988 sets no minimum age at which an individual can make decisions regarding his or her personal information. The Guidelines to the National Privacy Principles 68.18 suggest that each case must be considered individually, and give guidance as to when a young person may have the capacity to make a decision on his or her own behalf. The specific right of privacy for children also is set out in Article 16 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, coming into effect in Australia in January 1991.
We send you push notifications from time to time in order to update you about any events or promotions that we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device level. To ensure you receive proper notifications, we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating system and user identification information.
This website uses cookies. A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your hard drive when you visit certain web pages. It is used to identify yourself to a website when you revisit it, to load your preferences and to track the pages you have visited. The only personal information held in such a cookie is information you have provided to us. You have the choice of whether or not to accept cookies by means of your browser settings, although you may not be able to use certain features and functionalities of the My Guardian Group website if you do disable them.
As you navigate through a website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
This Website may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user’s computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our Website, and administer and improve services to our consumers.
A “cookie” is a bit of information that a website sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.
“Session cookies” are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on websites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This Website uses session cookies.
“Persistent cookies” are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g. username), helping to determine what areas of the website visitors find most valuable, and customizing the website based on your preferences. This Website uses persistent cookies.
“Internet tags” (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the website server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor’s computer. This Website uses Internet tags.
“Navigational data” (“log files,” “server logs,” and “clickstream” data) and “Internet Tags” are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This Website uses navigational data.
We are committed to conduct our business by these principles and to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us at Customer Service Support or email us. info@myguardian.com.au
