Privacy Policy
Last updated: [pending pre-launch solicitor review]
Employment Law Advisors ("us", "we", "our") connects Australian employees with independent employment lawyers and advisers in our network. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why, and who we share it with.
What we collect
When you submit an enquiry, we collect your name, phone number, email address, and a description of your situation. We also collect standard log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) automatically when you use the site.
Sensitive information
Some workplace situations involve sensitive information under the Privacy Act, for example health information (sick leave, disability), or information about race, religion, or sexual orientation (relevant to some discrimination or harassment matters). We only collect this if you choose to include it in your enquiry, and we treat it with the same care described in this policy. If a form on this site asks for this kind of detail directly, it will ask for your separate, explicit consent to do so, rather than relying on your general submission of the form.
Why we collect it, and who we share it with
We collect your details to connect you with an employment lawyer or adviser in our network who's suited to your situation, and to give you relevant information about your options. When you submit an enquiry, we share your details with that lawyer or adviser so they can contact you directly. We don't sell your information, and we don't share it with anyone else except as described here or where required by law.
Consent
By submitting an enquiry form on this site, you agree that we'll share your details with an employment lawyer or adviser in our network for the purpose of giving you advice. This is separate from, and in addition to, agreeing to this Privacy Policy generally.
Security
We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, including limiting access to people who need it to help you. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security, but we don't store sensitive case detail in plain-text email longer than necessary to action your enquiry.
Cookies
We use cookies to help the site work properly and to understand how it's used. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.
Access, correction, and complaints
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or make a complaint about how we've handled it, by contacting us or emailing enquiries@employmentlawadvisors.com.au. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
Children's Privacy
This service is intended for adults dealing with a workplace issue. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect once posted on this page.
