COOKIES

What are browser cookies and what do they do?

‘A cookie (also tracking cookie, browser cookie, and HTTP cookie) is a small
piece of text stored on a user's computer by a web browser.’ – Wikipedia
‘The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare
customized Web pages for them. When you enter a Web site using cookies, you may
be asked to fill out a form providing such information as your name and
interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your Web
browser which stores it for later use. The next time you go to the same Web
site, your browser will send the cookie to the Web server. The server can use
this information to present you with custom Web pages. So, for example, instead
of seeing just a generic welcome page you might see a welcome page with your
name on it.’ – Webopedia

Third Party Cookies & Tracking

for all our websites.  Google Analytics cookies are used to store information,
such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to
the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page. This
information is specific to the individual domains and websites within Ambition
Group.

Google Analytics' Terms of Service prohibits the use of its service for the
collection of personally identifiable information, such as your name, address,
email address or any other data that can be reasonably linked to such.

Opting out of Google Analytics

A browser Opt-Out ad-on is provided, should you not want to be tracked, for any
reason, by Google Analytics.  This tool prevents Google Analytics from tracking
you but does not prevent data from being sent to the Ambition Group's servers
nor any other tracking services/tools Ambition Group may use.

How Ambition Handles Cookies and Data on Our Website(s)

are first-party cookies and are used only as part of the navigation and do not
record any personal information of anyone using the website(s). Ambition's

only pass the specific service data required for the proper functioning of the
service. Ambition does not, for any reason, directly access the data provided

for you, Ambition, may, at times, share your detail/information with our offices
in other countries/region that Ambition Group operates within. For the purposes

HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS HELD

Personal information is held in our Information Record System until it is no
longer needed for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed at which
time it will be de-identified or destroyed provided that it is lawful for us to
do so.

We take a range of measures to protect your personal information from:
• Misuse, interference and loss; and
• Unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.


OUR INFORMATION RECORD SYSTEM

The Ambition Group uses a number of databases to store personal information,
some of which are cloud-based.  As such, personal information is accessible and
may be held on portable devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers or in
diaries operated and held by our employees.


INFORMATION SECURITY

With the majority of the personal information we collect and hold being of an
electronic format (soft-copy), Ambition Group has strict policies relating to
systems access, ensuring that:
• Access to systems and related system permissions is granted based on the
individual employee’s role within the organisation; and
• Access to systems is immediately revoked on the termination of an employee.
As password protection is a key feature of information security, Ambition
Group’s password policy ensures that:
• Employees are forced to change their system passwords on a regular basis;
• Passwords are forced to be ‘strong’ passwords, e.g. a forced minimum number of
characters, inability to use the same password within a set number of
iterations, etc; and
• Computers and laptops within Ambition Group offices automatically lock after a
short period of inactivity and cannot be unlocked without a valid password.

Personal or sensitive information contained in a hard-copy format is stored
securely when not in use.  When hard-copy documentation containing personal or
sensitive information is no longer required, each Ambition Group office has a
secure disposal unit in which to deposit the documentation for its ultimate
destruction.


DISCLOSURES

We may disclose your personal information for any of the purposes for which it
is primarily held or for a lawful related purpose. 

We may disclose your personal information where we are under a legal duty to do
so. 

Disclosure will usually be:
• Internally and to our related entities;
• To our Clients;
• To Referees for suitability and screening purposes.


RELATED PURPOSE DISCLOSURES

We outsource a number of services to contracted service suppliers (CSPs) from
time to time. Our CSPs may see some of your personal information. Typically our
CSPs would include:
• Software solutions providers;
• I.T. contractors and database designers and Internet service suppliers;
• Legal and other professional advisors;
• Insurance brokers, loss assessors and underwriters;
• Superannuation fund managers;
• Background checking and screening agents; and 
• Auditors.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that terms of service with our CSPs recognise
that we are bound by obligations to protect the privacy of your personal
information and that they will not do anything that would cause us to breach
those obligations.


OVERSEAS DISCLOSURES

Some of your personal information is likely to be disclosed to overseas
recipients. We cannot guarantee that any recipient of your personal information
will protect it to the standard to which it ought to be protected. The costs and
difficulties of enforcement of privacy rights in foreign jurisdictions and the
impracticability of attempting to enforce such rights in some jurisdictions will
mean that in some instances, we will need to seek your consent to disclosure.
The likely countries, type of information disclosed and recipients are
indicated, so far as is practicable, in the following table:
