At Stanton Edge, we take your privacy seriously. Whether you're a client, a community member, or just visiting our website, we’re committed to protecting your personal information and being upfront about how we use it.
What we collect and why
We only collect what we need to do our job well and serve you better. This includes:
- Website data – like cookies and browsing activity, to improve your experience on our site.
- Company and contact details – like your name, email, phone number, job title, company and address, so we can stay in touch.
- Payment details – such as bank account details, tax file numbers and superannuation information, to process invoices and payments.
- Employment and education details – similar to what you’d share on LinkedIn or in your resume, to help us understand your background when relevant to our work together.
- Background checks – like results from medical checks, criminal records and visa information.
- Feedback – such as results from competency and cultural tests or feedback received directly from our clients.
We collect this information directly from you, or through tools like contact forms, email, or cookies on our website. We avoid the collection of sensitive personal data, such as identifying documents wherever possible.
