Mining Alliance Privacy Policy
Effective date: 8 October 2026
Mining Alliance Pty Ltd (Mining Alliance, we, us or our), based in Leederville, Perth, Western Australia, handles personal information in connection with recruitment, candidate enquiries, employer enquiries and this website. This policy explains our approach to the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified or reasonably identifiable person. Sensitive information includes health information and criminal history and receives additional protection.
1. Information we collect
Depending on your enquiry or recruitment stage, we may collect your name, contact details, location, work rights, employment history, CV, qualifications, licences, availability, role preferences, referee details and recruitment correspondence. Employer enquiries may include business contact details and hiring requirements.
We collect information directly from you through email, telephone and other communications. With appropriate permission, we may also obtain relevant information from referees, prospective employers, recruitment partners and authorised checks. We explain additional collection requirements when arranging those checks.
We only request information reasonably necessary for the relevant service. Identity, visa and other government documents are requested separately where needed. Please do not include a tax file number, passport copy, bank details or unnecessary sensitive information in an initial application email.
We seek consent before collecting sensitive information unless an exception under applicable law permits collection. Supplying a CV does not provide blanket consent to unrelated uses of your information. Please obtain a referee's permission before giving us their contact details.
You can choose not to supply information, or enquire anonymously where practicable. Without information needed to assess suitability or work rights, we may be unable to progress an application or provide a particular service.
2. Website visits and email applications
This website uses an external website hosting provider. Application and enquiry buttons open your email application. Your message and attachments are sent only when you choose to send them. They are delivered to our email service, rather than uploaded into this website.
Our email service uses Google's Gmail / Google Workspace. Candidate correspondence goes to apply@miningallianceptyltd.com; general and employer enquiries go to info@miningallianceptyltd.com.
The public website does not currently include candidate accounts, application upload forms or automated recruitment decisions. Any separate reference-checking or recruitment platform may provide additional privacy information when you use it.
Hosting services may process technical information such as IP addresses, request times, browser information and requested pages for delivery, security and troubleshooting. This information can be personal information. We have not installed advertising trackers or marketing analytics on this website. Provider security features may use cookies or similar technology. Third-party websites and your own email provider have their own privacy practices.
3. How we use and share information
We use information to respond to enquiries, assess role suitability, communicate about relevant opportunities, arrange agreed reference and work-rights checks, support recruitment and onboarding, and meet applicable legal obligations.
We seek your agreement before submitting your identifiable application to a prospective employer or recruitment partner. We may disclose relevant information to authorised service providers supporting our work, professional advisers, or authorities where required or authorised by law. Disclosures are limited to information needed for the relevant purpose.
Where payroll, sponsorship support or other services are arranged, we explain any additional information and recipients involved. An expression of interest does not guarantee employment, sponsorship or a visa.
4. Providers and overseas handling
Our hosting and email providers operate internationally. Information may be stored, processed or accessed outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries used by their infrastructure and support providers. Email processing and support may also involve countries such as India and Ireland. Exact locations depend on the service and configuration; we do not promise that information remains in Australia.
Contact privacy@miningallianceptyltd.com for further information about our hosting providers and overseas handling. Email provider processing countries are listed in Google Workspace's subprocessor list. This list may change and covers services beyond those used by Mining Alliance.
Before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps required by applicable Australian privacy law, including considering the recipient's handling practices and relevant contractual protections. For international placements, we discuss the relevant employer or partner and destination with you before submitting your application.
5. Security and retention
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the information and risk to protect it against loss, misuse, interference and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Access should be limited to people who need information for their work. No website, email transmission or storage system is completely secure. If sensitive documents are needed, contact us to arrange an appropriate method of providing them.
We retain information while needed for recruitment, agreed ongoing contact, administration or applicable recordkeeping obligations. Retention depends on the record and its purpose; there is no blanket seven-year retention period for every application. When information is no longer needed and no legal requirement prevents it, we take reasonable steps to destroy it or remove identifying details.
We assess suspected data breaches promptly and, where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies, take reasonable steps to complete an assessment within 30 days. If an eligible breach occurs, we notify the OAIC and affected individuals as required by law.
6. Your choices, access and correction
You may request access to information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate or outdated details, ask us to stop considering you for opportunities, or request deletion. Deletion may be limited by legal requirements or other lawful reasons to retain information. We explain any refusal and the available complaint options.
Contact privacy@miningallianceptyltd.com. We may need to verify your identity without collecting unnecessary information. We aim to respond within 30 days and will let you know if more time is needed. You can withdraw consent for future optional uses; this does not reverse processing already lawfully completed.
Applying for a role does not automatically subscribe you to unrelated promotions. Commercial electronic messages require appropriate consent, identify the sender and provide a way to unsubscribe. You can also ask us to stop optional communications by emailing us.
7. Privacy questions and complaints

Please describe your concern and the outcome you are seeking. We aim to acknowledge complaints promptly, investigate and respond within 30 days. If you are dissatisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. The OAIC generally expects you to first complain to the organisation and allow it time to respond.
We update this policy when our practices change. The effective date identifies the current version. Contact us for a free copy or an accessible format.
