Information We Collect
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a smooth browsing experience. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary for this purpose and to achieve this goal.
To fully use our services, you will need to register using our online registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your contact information and other personal information. You are also required to provide us with a Member ID (in this case, your email address).
We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behaviour on our Site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behaviour to better understand and serve you. This information is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our Site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address.
We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of our Site. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customised services. We also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". We also use "cookies" to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide information, which is targeted, to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our Site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. If you’ve selected “Remember me on this computer” when Signing-in, the session cookie will remain in your hard drive for the period of 12 months. Unselecting “Remember me on this computer” will remove the cookie. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on our Site and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently during a session.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
Please contact our Privacy Officer to ask for access to your information or if you have a complaint concerning your information privacy or if you would like more information about our approach to privacy.

The EOC Group Pty Ltd (www.careerchick.com.au) may use personally identifiable information in aggregate form to improve our goods and services including our Web sites and make them more responsive to the needs of our customers. This statistical compilation and analysis of information may also be used by the EOC Group Pty Ltd (www.careerchick.com.au) or provided to others as a summary report for marketing, advertising or research purposes.
Legal Requests.
The EOC Group Pty Ltd’s (www.careerchick.com.au) may lawfully disclose your personal information for law enforcement or regulatory purposes.

Use of Email Tools

If you send an email using the Send to a Friend service to an email address that is not registered in our service, we do not use that email address for any purpose other than to send your email. We do not rent or sell these email addresses. We do not permanently store the email messages or the email addresses.

Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your the EOC Group Pty Ltd’s (www.careerchick.com.au) password to any third parties. If you choose to share your Member ID and password or your information with third parties, you agree that you are responsible for all actions taken with your Member ID and password. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.
