Privacy Policy

This privacy policy sets out how Lucida Consulting Pty Ltd ACN 614 834 945 (Lucida), will manage your personal information.

We are committed to the privacy of individuals and meet the requirements of the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) in how we collect, use or disclose personal information.

While we'll always do our best to answer your privacy questions, you can get lots of free privacy information from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner www.oaic.gov.au

If we ever change this policy, we will upload the changes to our website. Therefore, always visit our website for our latest privacy policy.

If we collect personal information during an application, recruitment or other assessment process and you then become our employee, some or all of the handling of your personal information might no longer be subject to the Privacy Act. We will always treat our employee's personal information appropriately.

As recruiters, we get a lot of resumes and information sent to us. Unfortunately, sometimes this means we may decline to collect unsolicited personal information from individuals. In that case, we won't hold onto that information.
