How to contact us

What is personal information?

“Personal information” means any information or opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. 

What personal information do we collect?

The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature of your dealings with us or what you choose to share with us. MAX Solutions [DI1] does not collect any personal information about you through this Site unless you agree to give it. The personal information we collect about you may include:

  •  First and last name
  •  Email address
  •  Postcode
  •  Phone number
  •  Job Seeker ID (JSID), Customer Reference Number (CRN) or Student Unique Identifier (SUI).

You do not have to provide us with your personal information. Where possible, we will give you the option to interact with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. However, if you choose to deal with us in this way or choose not to provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or otherwise interact with you.

 

How do we collect your personal information?

We collect your personal information directly from you when you.

  • Submit a general enquiry online; 
  • Register for disability employment services online; 
  • Register for other services online; and 
  • Submit a feedback or complaint online.

How do we use your personal information?

We use personal information for many purposes in connection with our functions and activities, including the following purposes:

  • Provide you with information or services that you request from us;
  • Improve the quality of the services we offer; and
  • Internal administrative purposes.

Disclosure of personal information to third parties

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in accordance with this Policy in circumstances where you would reasonably expect us to disclose your information. For example, we may disclose your personal information to:

  • Our third-party service providers (for example, our IT providers); and
  • Our business systems.

Transfer of personal information to third parties

Any personal information submitted via forms on the website are not stored on the website platform or servers. Personal information submitted is passed directly to email recipients within MAX Solutions and/or servers of third-party platforms that are housed only in Australia.

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that data security and appropriate privacy practices are maintained.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties overseas. 

How do we protect your personal information?

MAX Solutions is strongly committed to protecting personal information collected through this Site. We protect against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. MAX Solutions limits employee access to personal information collected through this Site. Only those employees who need to access the Site to perform their official duties can access it. All employees follow rules for disclosing personal information.

MAX Solutions uses technical security measures and procedures to protect the personal information we collect through the Site. We protect it from getting lost, misused, changed, or destroyed. We have Information Security and Privacy policies to protect data. We give our employees regular training on information security and privacy. Because the Internet is open and unsecured, MAX cannot be responsible for the security of personal information sent over the Internet. We have a formal incident response plan in case of a data breach.

To protect your communications through the Site, we authenticate, monitor, audit, and encrypt activity. You can tell if a site is secure by looking at the location (URL) field. The content comes from a secure server if the URL starts with https:// instead of http ://. This means unauthorized persons cannot read or decipher your personally identifiable information. This is part of our commitment to protect your information. Despite our efforts, no security measures are completely secure. By using this system, you consent to monitoring and auditing.

Online activity

When you visit the Site, our web server automatically collects and logs web usage data to tell us how visitors use and navigate the Site. The data includes:

  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Referring sites
  • Pages viewed
  • Browser type
  • Operating system
  • CPU speed
  • Referring or exit web pages
  • Length of visit.

Cookies, “Do Not Track” signals, and analytics

Like most websites, we use "cookies," "web beacons," and similar devices. They help you use the Site more efficiently. They also track your activities. A cookie is a small bit of data that a web server sends to your browser. Only the server that gave it to you can read it. It is your ID card for the Site. It lets Maximus record your activities and preferences. It cannot be used as code or send viruses. A web beacon is a small transparent gif image. It is embedded in an HTML page or email. It tracks when the page or email was viewed.

Maximus uses cookies and similar devices to track your use of the Site, products, and services you view, and information you download. We count the number of visitors per day. Our web servers log your computer’s IP/Internet address. Maximus does not allow the use of persistent (saved) cookies.

The Site uses Google and Adobe Analytics. Google and Adobe Analytics do not identify individual users. They do not link your IP address with any other data they hold. Google and Adobe Analytics reports help us understand Site traffic and webpage usage. You can read the Google Analytics Privacy Statement located here and the Adobe Privacy Policy at the Adobe Privacy Center.

Below is a full list of the cookies we use and their issuer.

You consent to us sending you those direct marketing communications by any of those methods. If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.

You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by [following the instructions to “unsubscribe'' set out in the relevant communication] / [contacting us using the details set out in the “How to contact us” section below].
