The Scotford & Fennessy Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, disclose, use, store or otherwise handles your personal information.
Collecting Your Personal Information
The Policy relates to personal information collected by any means. It is Scotford & Fennessy’s usual practice to collect this personal information directly from you, however, often your personal information is collected through the use of our website or in response to printed and online advertisements. Furthermore, there may be occasions when Scotford & Fennessy will source personal information from an external third party, or a publicly available source. If we do not have your prior consent, we will take all reasonable steps to inform you that we have collected personal information from the third party.

Generally, the personal information Scotford & Fennessy collects about you may include the information that you place in your job application or resume, for example, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, career history, details of any competency tests or other information relating to your career.
As a general rule, we do not collect sensitive information about you. However, in circumstances where Scotford & Fennessy requires sensitive information from you for the purpose of providing our services to you, or if the law requires us to provide such information, we will first seek your consent to collect it.
Data Quality & Security
Scotford & Fennessy takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information it collects is accurate, up to date and complete. Scotford & Fennessy may also contact you from time to time to check the information is still correct. Your personal information may be stored in hard copy documents, or electronically on Scotford & Fennessy's software or systems. When no longer required, personal information is destroyed in a secure manner or deleted.

Scotford & Fennessy may use and disclose your personal information to third parties for the purposes it was collected, or for a related or ancillary purpose such as providing you with one of our services.
