Introduction

Fermion is committed to protecting your privacy and managing personal information in an open and transparent way and in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988.


This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information.

  • Name and contact details
  • Employment history and qualifications
  • Results of psychometric assessments
  • Any other information relevant to your engagement with our services


We collect information directly from you or from third parties where you have provided consent.


2. Holding and Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to securely store personal information, whether in hardcopy or electronic form, and protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Information is retained for a minimum of seven years after the last client contact unless legal or their organisational requirements specify otherwise.



3. Purpose of Collection, Holding, Use, and Disclosure

Your personal information is collected for purposes such as:

  • Conducting psychometric testing for recruitment or organisational purposes
  • Providing psychological opinions, feedback, and reports
  • Communicating assessment outcomes
  • Meeting legal and regulatory requirements


We will not use or disclose your personal information for other purposes without your consent unless legally required.


4. Access and Correction

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections if needed. Please contact our Privacy Officer (details below) and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.



5. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle your personal information, you can contact us at any time. Please email or call our Privacy Officer using the details below. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).



6. Overseas Disclosure

Fermion does not ordinarily disclose personal information to overseas recipients. If such disclosure becomes necessary, we will inform you and seek your consent where required.



7. Unsolicited Information

If we receive personal information that we did not solicit, we will determine whether it should be retained according to this Privacy Policy. If not, and if lawful and reasonable to do so, we will destroy or de-identify the information.
