Privacy Policy

How we handle your information.

Last updated: 8 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Workeen Pty Ltd ("Workeen", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and discloses personal information when you visit workeen.io, submit our contact form, apply for a role through us, or otherwise interact with our services.

Workeen is bound by the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs"). For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR where applicable.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide to us directly, including:

• Name, email address, phone number, and anything else you send through our contact form
• Resume, work history, references, qualifications, and similar recruitment information you provide as a candidate
• Company name, hiring brief, role details, and salary range you provide as an employer

We also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit our website:

• IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages visited, time on site, and the URL that referred you
• Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5)

2. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Match candidates with employer roles
• Respond to enquiries and provide support
• Verify identity, qualifications, and right to work
• Send service-related communications
• Improve the website and our services
• Comply with legal obligations including taxation, employment, and recruitment laws

We do not sell personal information.

3. Sharing & disclosure

We may share information with:

• Employers and candidates where you have consented to the introduction
• Service providers who help us run the business (hosting, email delivery, analytics) and who are bound by confidentiality
• Professional advisors (lawyers, accountants, auditors) when reasonably necessary
• Government and law-enforcement bodies where required by law

We require third parties to handle personal information in line with this policy and applicable law.

4. Storage & security

Personal information is stored on secure servers located in Australia and on reputable cloud platforms. We use technical and organisational measures — including access controls, encryption in transit, and staff training — to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No system is perfectly secure; in the unlikely event of a notifiable data breach, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by law.

5. Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the site functioning and remember basic preferences
• Measure traffic and usage patterns via privacy-respecting analytics

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some features of the site may not work correctly without them.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal retention requirements
• Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis for processing
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) or, for EU/UK users, with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@workeen.io.

7. Children's privacy

Workeen's services are intended for adults aged 18 and over, and for internship candidates who are at least 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. International transfers

Where personal information is transferred outside Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure recipients handle it in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles and any applicable foreign law.

9. Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Candidate records are typically retained for seven years following last contact, unless earlier deletion is requested and permitted by law.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the current version. Material changes will be communicated through the website or by direct notice where appropriate.
