Privacy Policy

Your privacy and data-protection rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988

Effective date:

Introduction

FluxHire.AI Pty Ltd (trading as "FluxHire.AI", "we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, process and protect your personal information when you use our AI-powered recruitment platform and related services (the "Services").

FluxHire.AI Pty Ltd is an Australian-incorporated entity headquartered in Sydney, NSW. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). For visitors and customers in the European Union or United Kingdom, we additionally honour rights and obligations equivalent to those provided under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, where those laws apply to our processing.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  • Contact details (name, email address, telephone number, job title, company name)
  • Account credentials and authentication information
  • Profile information and preferences
  • Communications and correspondence with us
  • Recruitment and candidate data you upload or process through our Services
  • Payment and billing information (processed by third-party payment processors)
  • Any other information you choose to provide

Information We Collect Automatically

For the public early-access form, we store the six details you submit, not raw IP addresses or browser user-agent strings in the application record. The abuse-protection service uses keyed hashes of the email address and trusted client IP to limit attempts. Necessary hosting and security logs are separate from website and platform analytics. Do not include candidate information or other sensitive details in the application.

  • Device information (IP address, browser type, operating system)
  • Usage data (pages visited, time spent, features used)
  • Location information (based on IP address)
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies
  • Log files and system activity
  • Performance and analytics data

Information from Third Parties

  • Data from recruitment platforms and integrations (with your consent)
  • Social media platforms (where you grant permission)
  • Business contact databases and verification services
  • Analytics and marketing partners

How We Use Your Information

In line with APP 6 (Use or disclosure of personal information), we use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected or for a directly related secondary purpose you would reasonably expect:

Primary purpose: service provision

  • Providing access to the FluxHire.AI multi-agent recruitment platform
  • Processing recruitment data and ranking candidates with auditable AI agents
  • Delivering analytics and reporting that you and your team review
  • Customer support, onboarding and technical assistance

Related secondary purposes

  • Improving the Services, training detection models for safety and security
  • Security monitoring and fraud prevention (APP 11)
  • Aggregated, de-identified market analysis
  • Direct marketing where permitted under APP 7 (and always with an opt-out)

Legal and regulatory obligations

  • Complying with the Privacy Act 1988 and Fair Work Act 2009 obligations
  • Responding to lawful requests from the OAIC, courts or other regulators
  • Mandatory data-breach notification under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme

Consent: where the APPs require it

  • Collection of sensitive information under APP 3.3
  • Analytics cookies, where the law of your region requires prior consent (see Cookies and Tracking Technologies)
  • Any processing for a purpose outside those listed above

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, including cloud hosting, payment processing, analytics, and customer support. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality obligations and data processing agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

With Your Consent

We may share information with third parties where you have explicitly consented to such sharing.

International Data Transfers

Candidate and customer personal information is hosted on Australian infrastructure by default. Where we engage offshore service providers (for example, transactional email or model inference), we comply with APP 8 (Cross-border disclosure of personal information) by:

  • Taking reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs
  • Disclosing the country of recipient before transfer where practicable
  • Using contractual safeguards equivalent to Australian standards
  • Obtaining your consent where the APPs require it (APP 8.2(b))

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to:

  • Provide our Services to you
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
  • Fulfil legitimate business purposes

Specific retention periods vary based on data type and purpose, typically ranging from 3-7 years for business records, or until account deletion for user-generated content.

Our Google Analytics Standard property retains event-level and user-level analytics data for 14 months. Its reset-on-activity setting restarts the period for a user identifier when new activity occurs; event-level expiry remains based on the event date. This is therefore not a fixed deletion deadline for an active user identifier, and aggregated reporting may not be governed by the same control.

Your Rights

The Australian Privacy Principles give you the following rights over the personal information we hold about you:

Access (APP 12)

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and how it is being used.

Correction (APP 13)

Request correction of inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading information.

Anonymity and pseudonymity (APP 2)

Where lawful and practical, you may interact with us without identifying yourself.

Direct-marketing opt-out (APP 7)

Opt out of any direct marketing at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

Complain to the OAIC

Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if you believe we have breached the APPs.

EU / UK rights (where applicable)

Where your data is also subject to GDPR, equivalent rights to erasure, restriction, portability and objection apply.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Privacy Officer using the details below. We will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving your verified request, in line with the OAIC's guidance.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • Encryption in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security assessments and penetration testing
  • Employee training on data protection and security
  • Incident response and breach notification procedures

No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or other certification is claimed. Our security overview explains how to request current evidence for the controls relevant to your review.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and you transmit information at your own risk.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential storage supports security and platform functionality. We also use Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, to understand how our website and platform are used so we can improve them. Google may process this information on servers outside Australia, including in the United States.

  • In Australia and most countries, analytics cookies are on by default. You can opt out at any time
  • In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics cookies stay off until you accept them. Without cookies, Google Analytics receives limited, cookieless signals that it uses to estimate overall traffic
  • Analytics run on our public website and in the signed-in platform. They do not run on authentication, invitation, unsubscribe or API routes
  • Page locations exclude query strings and fragments, except standard campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content). In the platform, record identifiers are replaced with placeholders, so pages are reported as, for example, /candidates/:id
  • For signed-in users we send a pseudonymous, one-way hashed user identifier together with your role and division. We never send names, email addresses, phone numbers, search text or the content of candidate, contact or company records
  • Advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled. We do not use analytics data for advertising
  • A first-party cookie records only whether your region requires prior consent. It does not store your country or IP address

Use the Cookie preferences link in the website footer to accept or opt out at any time. We remember your choice for 180 days. Opting out removes accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies from our site and stops new analytics cookies being set. It does not retrospectively delete data already processed. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Limitations of Liability

Important notice: this privacy policy is provided for informational purposes. By using the Services you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You use the Services at your own risk and discretion
  • The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis
  • You are responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws in your jurisdiction
  • We exclude liability to the maximum extent permitted by Australian law
  • Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia

Nothing in this policy excludes or limits our liability for death, personal injury, fraud or any other liability that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable Australian law.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the effective date above. Your continued use of our Services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
