At Macquarie, we want our people to feel supported in their career journey, and that starts with the recruitment process. When you share your information with us, we want you to feel confident that you understand how we will collect, use and store it.
As the information that you share will be different depending on where you are in your recruitment journey, the way we manage and store your data may also change. There is more information on this below, but if you have any questions, you can contact us by email (privacy@macquarie.com), phone (+61 2 8550 5777) or post (Macquarie Careers, GPO Box 4294 Sydney NSW 1164 Australia).
There are many ways you could share your information with us during the recruitment process, from registering your interest in Macquarie events or employment opportunities, submitting an application or CV, taking part in a video or in-person interview, or even subscribing to content about Macquarie.
The information you supply may be limited to your contact details, or could include other additional information, such as your application data, right to work status and educational history. It may also include other personal information that you choose to provide (such as gender identity or information about adjustments or accommodations you may be seeking). We refer to all of this data as 'your information'.
Macquarie respects your privacy and security and will only collect, use and disclose your information where it is necessary to administer the recruitment process, send you the updates and information you’ve subscribed to such as Macquarie content or events, or where Macquarie has another legitimate interest in processing your information. These are some practical examples of legitimate purposes:
If you’re successful in securing a role, then your information will also be collected, used and disclosed as needed in relation to your employment or engagement with Macquarie.
In carrying out the above activities, your information may be controlled and processed by Macquarie staff as well as those we work with. This includes Macquarie's officers, affiliates, agents, contractors and service providers worldwide.
Where it is necessary for your information to be transferred to other locations, Macquarie will take steps to protect your information against misuse or loss and will comply with any relevant local law requirements.
If you apply for a role and your application is unsuccessful, Macquarie may retain your information on file for three years, subject to any local laws or regulatory expectations that are applicable in the location for that role. Macquarie may use this information to let you know about other roles that could be of interest to you. If you’d prefer Macquarie not to retain your information on file for these purposes, please get in touch to let us know.
If you decide to apply for another role while your information is on file, the storage period will re-start from the date of your most recent application to Macquarie. When the relevant storage period comes to an end, Macquarie will make best efforts to delete, anonymise or put your information ‘beyond use’ within three months. If your application is successful, Macquarie will retain your information as part of your employment records.
If you’ve subscribed to updates on roles, events or Macquarie content but haven’t applied for a role, then your information will be retained for two years; you will have the opportunity to opt out from receiving updates at any time. We’ll check in with you before that two-year period expires to see if you’d like to continue to receive updates. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume you’re no longer interested in receiving updates and will make best efforts to delete, anonymise or put your information ‘beyond use’ within three months.
If you are unsuccessful in applying for a role with Macquarie while you’re subscribed to updates, we will retain your information based on whichever retention period expires last out of the relevant retention period for an unsuccessful applicant and the relevant retention period for a subscriber.
If you secure employment with Macquarie while you’re subscribed to updates, Macquarie will retain your information as part of your employment records and you’ll continue to receive updates until you opt-out.
If, for any reason, you’re not comfortable with your information being used, collected, stored or disclosed in the ways described in this policy, please do not provide your information to Macquarie - you are not required by law to submit your information. Please note, however, that Macquarie may not be able to accept or process your application or requests if the necessary information is not supplied.
You may request access to your information (and the correction of incorrect information) at any time by contacting Macquarie at privacy@macquarie.com. If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you may also request that your information be transferred to another controller. Macquarie will address any such requests in accordance with any relevant obligations set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you are concerned about the way in which Macquarie has processed or used your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner or other applicable regulatory authority in your location, if available.
