This Statement has been prepared by MAX Solutions Pty Ltd interchangeably referred to in this Statement as ("MAX", "we", "us" and "our").

Users who log on to the Site but do not create an account are referred to generically in this Statement as "users" or "you".

Users who register on the Site to obtain services offered by MAX are referred to as Registered Users.

Unless the context provides otherwise, references in this Statement to "users" or "you" include references to generic users and Registered Users.

MAX's commitment to maintaining your privacy

MAX's Privacy Statement has been created because we value our users and recognise their right to keep personal information private. This Statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for www.maxsolutions.com.au/max-connect ("the Site"). 

Collecting information on MAX visitors

MAX collects non-personal information on Site visits including, without limitation, which sections of the Site are most frequently visited, how often, and for how long. This data is always used as aggregated, nonpersonal information, and may be shared with MAX partners to provide them with information relating to how MAX visitors 'use' the Site. This is done for the purpose of providing you with the best and most efficient career management services.

IP Addresses

MAX's web servers gather your IP address to assist with the diagnosis of problems or support issues with our services, and to monitor the use of our Site.

Cookies

MAX uses cookies (small text files placed on your device) to enhance site navigation, analyse site usage, and assist in our marketing efforts. The site utilises the built-in cookie management provided by next-auth for authentication and session management through the front-end technologies of React and Next.js. By continuing to use the site, you consent to our deployment of cookies. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences, provide personalised content, and gather analytics to improve our service.

You can adjust your cookie preferences by modifying the settings in your browser. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the site and limit your access to certain features.

Third Party Measurement

In order to better understand our users, MAX utilises third parties to measure and assess Site traffic and mobile Site traffic. A tracking code is used to collect the following information on the usage of the Site:

• The number of page views (or page impressions) that occur on the site
• The number of unique visitors to the site
• How long these unique visitors (on average) spend on the site when they do visit; and
• Common entry and exit points into the site.

This aggregate, non-personal information is collated and provided to MAX to assist in analysing the usage of the Site. This data is also accessible by media organisations and research companies, for the purpose of conducting industry comparisons with other Internet websites.

Collecting information on MAX Registered Users

As part of registering with MAX, we collect personal information about Registered Users in order for Registered Users to take full advantage of MAX's services. To do this it will be necessary for Registered Users to provide additional information to MAX.

Storing your files

Registered Users may elect to store files such as resumes within their MAXConnect account and use those files when applying for a job. Deleting a file will mean it is no longer accessible to the Registered User. Deleted records may still be stored by MAX in testing or backup systems for a period of time.

MAX Profile

A MAX Profile can include basic personal details, answered questionnaires, resume, employment, and educational history, contact details and preferred job classifications and locations. Your MAX Profile is visible to MAX staff searching the database, and when you are referred for a job, your resume may be forwarded to the employer. 

All information provided when creating a MAX Profile (including your name, resume, email address, telephone numbers, employment, and educational history) may be used by MAX for the purpose of improving placement opportunities for you or for tailoring specific products to you. Registered Users can modify their resume at any time or modify their MAX Profile at any time.

You may request for your MAX profile to be deleted by contacting our Customer Service team. Deleted MAX Profiles may still be stored by MAX in testing or backup systems for a period of time. MAX reserves the right to disable or delete a MAX Profile at its sole discretion.

Storage & Security of Personal Information

MAX takes all reasonable steps to ensure the security of our system. MAX allows you to access your information at any time to keep it accurate and up to date. Any information which we hold for you is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities.

In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality and privacy of any personal information held by MAX. However, MAX will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access of your personal information.

You can also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure, by maintaining the confidentiality of any password and accounts used on the Site. Please notify us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account by any other Internet user, or any other breach of security relating to your account.

Access to Your Information

Unless you become Registered User, MAX does not collect information that identifies you personally. If you become a Registered User, you are able to change, update, or request to delete your Profile at any time.

Data Transfers

Sometimes, we transfer information to third party contractors. By giving us your personal information, you consent to such disclosures. Where we transfer information, the recipients of such information are subject to a law, binding scheme or contract which effectively upholds principles for fair handling of the information that are similar in all material respects to the Australian Privacy Principles outlined in the Privacy Act.
