| The Rogers Group understands and agrees that people care about their
privacy. That is why we are committed to respecting and protecting the
privacy of all personal information provided to us by all individuals.
Our privacy policy is based on our adherence to the standards and
principles underlying the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000
and our commitment is to ensuring that individuals are comfortable when
providing personal information to us.
Our goal is that, after reading our policy and discussing the process,
individuals will understand the type of personal information we gather,
how we gather the personal information and the purpose and uses for which
we gather the personal information.
McQuaig On-Line
What does this policy cover?
In this case, our privacy policy covers our treatment of all personal
information provided to us through The McQuaig System™ (be it via McQuaig
On-Line®, by fax, by email, by
computerised report, phone conversation, etc).
 What is personal information?
"Personal information" as defined in the Act, is any information about
an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title or
business address or telephone number of an employee of an organisation. In
general terms, that might include name, age, marital status, political
affiliation, etc.
What sort of information do we
collect?
In reality, in the case of The McQuaig System™ the only personal data
that we collect is the individual’s name, sex, scores, report on
temperament and, possibly, email address. In the case of The McQuaig Word
Survey®, we also refer to gender (strictly for pronoun purposes
on the report). No other personal information is recorded or kept through
the system.
Why do we collect the information that
we obtain?
If an individual has been asked to fill in a Word Survey, we may have
done so for a variety of reasons — perhaps the individual is applying for
a job or is up for promotion or transfer, it may be part of a teambuilding
exercise, or we may be asking many people in the individual’s position to
complete it to establish norms for the job or the individual may have
expressed an interest in career counselling or personal development, etc.
If an individual has been asked to fill in a Job Survey, again we may
have done so for a variety of reasons — perhaps there’s an opening for
this position or a new position has been created or the nature of the job
is being changed — but, whatever our reason, we are interested in knowing
the individual’s view on the "ideal" person for this job.
Information sharing and disclosure
Normally we would never send personal information about an individual
that has been obtained through The McQuaig System™ to any other
organisation. However, were we to do so, we would obtain the prior consent
of the individual and the organisation before sending the information out
to a third party.
What do we do with the
information that we obtain?
Within our organisation, sharing of The McQuaig System™ personal
information is on a need-to-know basis only. For example, if an individual
has filled in a Word Survey and is a candidate for a job, his/her personal
information may be shared between The Rogers Group and his/her potential
future Manager(s).
Security
We affirm that we have organisational, physical and technological
measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of any
McQuaig System™ personal information under our control and confirm that we
review our security practices on a regular basis.
Accuracy
The individual will have complete control over his/her personal
information and has the ability to see, correct or remove the personal
information that s/he has provided to us. Any effects from removing data —
such as non-consideration for employment — shall be advised and noted
accordingly.
Retention of data
Our Privacy Protection Policy assures that the data from the Word
Survey will be deleted after the purposes for which said surveys were
completed have been satisfied and in compliance with all other applicable
laws regarding privacy and employment document retention.
Opting-out and withdrawing consent
Subject to certain legal restrictions and reasonable notice, the
individual may withdraw his/her consent at any time by contacting our
Privacy Officer. In that case, all data and reports will be deleted from
both our paper files and from any electronic database. Any effects from
removing data — such as non-consideration for employment — shall be
advised and noted accordingly.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time, in
accordance with any applicable new Privacy Protection laws which may be
enacted.
Consent
Where an individual fills in a survey, that individual will be
consenting to the collection and use of their personal information as
noted above. We will make sure that the individual has the information
s/he needs to make an informed consent prior to filling in the form. If an
individual has been asked to complete a survey on-line, by choosing to
submit the form, the individual has given his/her consent to the
processing and use of the information as advised by us and by The McQuaig
Institute®.
