Thanks for visiting our Privacy Policy (Policy), we are WorkApp Pty Ltd ACN 163 385 804 of Level 52, 111 Eagle Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000 Australia (WorkApp, we, our, us and other similar terms). We are committed to providing quality services to you and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations in respect of how we manage your Personal Information. It applies to our WorkApp Terms of Use, the Billboard Terms and Conditions and other agreements we may form with you.

When we talk about Personal Information, we mean information or an opinion about an identifiable individual (not a company), whether or not that information or opinion is true or in a material form (Personal Information).

While your Privacy is important to us, nothing in this Privacy Policy constitutes a voluntary opt in to any privacy laws, anywhere in the world, which we are not statutorily bound to comply with.

We collect Personal Information in the ordinary course of our business, which is the provision of an online global marketplace which aims to connect people for prosperity (Marketplace). Personal Information is collected when you:

Information will only be collected directly from you unless you authorise another person to provide the information.

The types of Personal Information we collect includes your name, address, telephone number, email, details of any listings you make, IP address, device identification and any additional information you provide to us.

Where you contact us on behalf of your employer, the information you provide often contains information about your employment, position and employers contact details. In those circumstances certain employment information is collected.

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our platform to you. We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure.

Examples of when we may use your Personal Information include:

Where you provide us with consent to do so (e.g. if you have subscribed to our email or SMS lists or have indicated that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us), we send you marketing communications by push notifications, by email and SMS about listings and our platform that we feel may be of interest to you.

We (or an appointed third party) may also conduct surveys or market research and may seek other information from you on a periodic basis. These surveys will provide us with information that allows improvement in the type, quality and the manner in which our goods and services are offered to you.

You can opt-out of such communications if you would prefer not to receive them in the future by using the “unsubscribe” facility provided in the communication itself.

The data we collect may have analytical value to us, our business partners and our related entities. We reserve the right to process, distribute or sell information we collect through our services. However, we will only distribute data which has been de-identified or as otherwise set out in accordance with this Policy.

When you visit our website or engage with us through social media, certain information is collected. This is generally anonymous information and it does not reveal your identity. However, if you are logged into your account some of this information could be associated with you.

The following is the type of information which is collected:

By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject cookies some parts of our website may not work properly.

You can learn more about our Cookies Policy at https://workapp.world/cookiespolicy.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (Google). Google analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to analyse how you use the site.

The information collected by Google about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described in Google's privacy policy and for the purposes set out above. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.

Generally, we store your Personal Information using secure servers protected from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. The bulk of our structured data is stored in databases encrypted at rest. However, like most businesses we hold some information on our staff’s computers (such as emails from you) and where necessary as hard copy files (such as printed invoices).

Our systems are located across Australia and Singapore and are managed by us and our service providers. Personal Information that we store or transmit is protected by security and access controls, including username and password authentication, two-factor authentication, and data encryption (such as SSL) where appropriate.

In our dealings with third party service providers, we take care to work with subcontractors and service providers who we believe maintain an acceptable standard of data security compliance.

We retain your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to provide you access to our platform, as required for our internal business operations, and to comply with our legal obligations.

If we hold Personal Information about you, and we do not need that information for any purpose, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify that information, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), unless we are prevented from doing so by law.

Under Australian law, financial records, such as those relating to financial transactions, must be retained for 7 years after the transactions associated with those records are completed.

If you no longer want us to use your Personal Information, you can request that we erase it and close your account. Where possible we will do so in accordance with the APPs and GDPR. However, where you request the erasure of your Personal Information we will retain information from deleted accounts as necessary for our legitimate business interests, to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations or requests by government, a court of law, or law enforcement authorities, enforce the terms of service and take other actions permitted by law. Any information we retain will be handled in accordance with this privacy policy.

Your Personal Information may be disclosed to:

(i) payment gateway providers, such as PayPal Holdings Inc.;

(ii) software developers;

(iii) administration service providers;

(iv) marketing service providers; and

(v) information technology service providers including cloud application providers.

We may disclose your Personal Information to third party contractors, service providers and suppliers with whom we have a business association who operate in Australia, Singapore and Pakistan.

While we do not otherwise actively disclose your Personal Information to overseas entities, our engagement of service providers, such as those who operate cloud services, may have international data centres and disaster recovery sites. Consequently, these providers may have access to your information offshore. We rely solely on reputable organisations for such cloud services.

Note: When you provide personal information in a listing, you are consenting to us publishing that information throughout the world. It is your responsibility to consider what information is appropriate to share.

If you contact us with a general enquiry, we may interact with you anonymously or through the use of pseudonyms. However, you are required to provide true and accurate details when requesting the supply of services and setting up an Account with us. You agree you will provide accurate information if we require it.

We endeavour to only hold Personal Information that is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You have the right to make a request to access Personal Information which we hold about you and to request corrections of any errors in that data. To make an access or correction request, contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.

If you have an account with us, you can access some of the Personal Information that we collect about you. By logging into your account, you can update or correct certain information.

In order to protect your Personal Information, when you contact us, we may require identification from you before releasing the requested information or making the correction.

For the purposes of the GDPR, we are a ‘data controller’ of Personal Information. If you’re a citizen or resident of the European Economic Area, the following rights apply to you.

You are entitled to ask us to port your Personal Information (i.e. to transfer in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to you), to erase it, or restrict its processing. You also have rights to object to some processing that is based on our legitimate interests, such as profiling that we perform for the purposes of direct marketing, and, where we have asked for your consent to process your data, to withdraw this consent.

These rights are limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your Personal Information. In some instances, this means that we may retain some data even if you withdraw your consent.

Where we require your Personal Information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory and if you do not provide it then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet obligations placed on us. In those cases, you must provide us with your Personal Information, otherwise the provision of requested Personal Information is optional.

If you have unresolved concerns, you also have the right to complain to data protection authorities. The relevant data protection authority will be the data protection authority in the country:

If you have a complaint or concern about our handling of your Personal Information, we ask that you first contact our privacy officer whose contact details are listed below.
