We are League of Scholars Pty Limited ABN 82 167 417 414, an Australian corporation.
This Privacy Policy explains who we are and how, when and why we collect and manage personal information about individuals.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe how we collect and use data, including personal information, in the course of our business and through our website, and to show how we comply with applicable privacy laws.
We are committed to protecting individuals' privacy and ensuring that all personal information that we collect is collected by lawful and fair means and handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and this Privacy Policy.
We implement processes and safeguards that have been designed by us to meet the privacy and data protection laws applicable to our business. These processes and safeguards focus on privacy by design and default, information security, and minimisation of collection, handling and disclosure of personal information of individuals to that reasonably required to enable conduct of our business.
If you have any questions regarding the contents of this Policy or how we handle personal information, we invite you to contact our Privacy Office, as below.
We may modify or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will display a notice at [https://talentscope.leagueofscholars.com/privacy.php] stating when any such revisions have been made.
Our mission is to assist our clients, being universities and other educational institutions, to find outstanding scholars that appear to be a good match for academic positions available at those clients.
When a client requests us to find a good match for an academic position available at the client, we search publicly available (internet accessible and published) profiles of scholars, and publications of scholars. We then apply advanced data analytics methodologies and algorithmic processes to our search results and produce a list of prospective candidates that we provide to our client.
That list may also include contact details for the prospective candidate, to the extent that these contact details have been made available in publicly available profiles of scholars or the scholars' publications of scholars.
Our client will review that list and decide whether the client wishes to contact the scholar as a prospective candidate for an available position that appears a good match to the scholar's profiles and publications.
We generally do not contact the scholar ourselves, because we rely upon publicly available scholar's profiles and publications as our source material, and as we provide a list of prospective candidates to our client who decides whether to contact scholars on that list.
In the course of conduct of this business, we may also collect other personal information relating to individuals, as described below in this Privacy Policy.
We will comply with this Privacy Policy.
In relation to personal information and sensitive information relating to individuals, we will also comply with Privacy Laws.
Personal information is information or an opinion about an individual who is identified or is identifiable.
Sensitive information includes information or an opinion about an individual's race or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional association, trade association or a trade union, sexual orientation and sex life, criminal record, and certain biometric data. Sensitive Information also includes health and genetic information about an individual.
We will only collect or handle sensitive information relating to scholars if that information has been published in publicly available (internet accessible and published) profiles of scholars or their publications.
Privacy Laws are the Privacy Act 1988 (C'th of Australia), including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) (which apply to League of Scholars as an APP entity), and other privacy and data protection laws which apply to our business.
We are an APP entity regulated by provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (C'th of Australia). Our collection, use, handling and disclosure of personal information and sensitive information relating to individuals must comply with that statute. Privacy rights of individuals conferred by that statute apply regardless of the location of those individuals or where they reside.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to our clients or other third parties. Each client and each provider of data to League of Scholars is responsible for providing and complying with its own privacy policy and complying with privacy and data protection laws applicable to them. Please refer to the privacy policy, statement or notice of the entities with whom you engage, or whose internet sites, mobile applications and other online services you access, to learn how they collect and use information about you.
