Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 29 March 2026

"The People Part" (ABN: 12477486919) ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal and sensitive information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and manage your information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Information we collect

We only collect information that is reasonably necessary for us to provide our Human Resources, Early Intervention, and Return to Work (RTW) consulting services. This may include:

• Personal Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company details of our clients and site visitors.
• Sensitive Information (Health & Medical Data): Due to the nature of our RTW and Early Intervention services, we may collect health, medical, or injury-related information about your employees. We only collect this information when it is voluntarily provided to us for the purpose of consulting, triage, or injury management, and with the appropriate employee consent where required.

2. How we collect information

We collect information in the following ways:

• Directly from you when you submit inquiries through our website contact forms.
• During consultations, phone calls, and email correspondence.
• From authorised third parties (such as medical professionals or insurers) during the management of RTW cases.

3. How we use your information

We use the collected data strictly to:

• Provide tailored HR, compliance, and clinical RTW services.
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests.
• Manage client relationships and business operations.
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Data storage and security

We take the security and sovereignty of your data seriously. All client information, including sensitive health information and corporate structural data, is transmitted securely and housed within our enterprise-grade cloud environment, powered by Google Workspace Business Plus.

To ensure the highest level of legal compliance, data integrity, and privacy, we utilise Google Vault. This provides:

• Advanced Data Governance: Strict data retention policies ensuring information is kept only as long as legally required for HR and medical compliance.
• Audit Trails & eDiscovery: Immutable logs and legal hold capabilities to protect data integrity during workplace investigations or workers' compensation claims.
• Enterprise Encryption: State-of-the-art endpoint management and encryption to protect against unauthorised access or data loss.

Access to this secure environment is strictly limited to the specific authorised personnel directly managing your strategic HR or clinical Return to Work services.

5. Disclosure of information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal or sensitive information to third parties. We will only disclose your information:

• To essential third parties involved in a specific RTW or HR case (e.g., treating doctors, workers' compensation insurers), and only with appropriate consent.
• If we are required or authorised to do so by Australian law.

6. Access and correction

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to ask for it to be corrected if you believe it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.
