Home / Privacy Policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
CareerMeridian runs careermeridian.com from Gundagai, New South Wales, Australia. Our service connects people who live in Australia with home-based work offered by separate businesses. This policy sets out, in plain terms, what personal information reaches us and how we deal with it.
We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). For any question about this policy, write to careers@careermeridian.com.
For now, careermeridian.com has no application form. People contact us by WhatsApp or email, and we receive only what each person types. Usually that includes:
If we add a form, this policy will first be changed to show every field on it.
We have never bought a contact list and we do not take information from social media. An employer might tell us that a role was filled or that an introduction went ahead; we may note that briefly so we can update the person concerned.
Loading any page creates a standard log entry at our host showing the IP address, browser, device type, page and time. This is used for running and protecting the website, and we do not try to work out who is behind each entry.
So that we can answer, we need one way of reaching you: a WhatsApp number or an email address. Any further details are your choice, and holding them back will not change how we deal with you.
CareerMeridian does not ask for passwords, verification codes, banking logins or photos of identity documents, on WhatsApp, by email or anywhere else. Applicants are not asked to send us money or to share bank access. If a message using our name asks for these things, it is a fake. Please leave it unanswered and forward it to careers@careermeridian.com.
We use what you send to answer you, to describe our training course and the roles, to suggest the role that fits, and to arrange an introduction to an employer when you ask for one. Short notes of each conversation mean you are not asked for the same information again.
We never sell or rent applicant details, and we never pass them around for marketing. No promotional messages for unrelated products will come from us. Details go only to an employer you have agreed to, unless you later say we may share them with someone else.
Before any introduction, you are told who the employer is. Once you agree, we give the employer the minimum it needs, usually your name and mobile. The employer then becomes responsible for its copy under the privacy laws that cover it.
The website and our contact with applicants depend on these providers:
A new provider that would handle applicant information will be listed here before we start using it.
We may share information if an Australian law, a court or tribunal, or an authorised government agency requires it, or if sharing is reasonably needed to protect someone from serious harm.
WhatsApp conversations with us always begin with you. A WhatsApp link on the site opens the app with a short draft message, and nothing is sent until you choose to send it. After that we can see the message, your WhatsApp name and your phone number.
No analytics or advertising cookies run on careermeridian.com at present. Your browser may store small technical files that make pages load and look right. Should we add any measurement or advertising tool, it will be described here, with its identifier, before it is turned on.
We do not currently have a Google Ads tag or any other advertising code on the site. If one is added, this section will say which one, explain what it counts, and confirm that names, numbers and answers are never sent through it.
Our providers may store or process information outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union. Each provider publishes its own privacy and security terms.
WhatsApp and email records are deleted no more than 12 months after our last contact with you. Technical logs are removed within 30 days, and backups expire within 30 days after that.
Only the CareerMeridian staff who handle applications can see applicant messages. We secure our accounts with strong, separate passwords and two-step sign-in where it is offered. Nothing online is perfectly safe, so please avoid sending sensitive details unless we ask.
Your phone keeps its own copy of any WhatsApp chat, and employers keep their own records. Removing our copy does not remove theirs.
Email careers@careermeridian.com to ask for a copy of your information, to correct it or to have it deleted. You will hear back within 30 days. You can leave the process whenever you want and we will stop using your details, but we cannot take back information already given to an employer with your permission.
We do not make automated decisions about applications. A person on our team reads and replies to each one.
CareerMeridian introduces adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect information about anyone under 18.
If you think we have handled your information wrongly, email careers@careermeridian.com and explain what happened. We will investigate and reply in writing.
If someone you know might like our roles, please pass on the website address rather than sending us their details. They can then read this policy and decide for themselves.
This policy changes when our practices change, and the date at the top shows the current version. For bigger changes, like a new form or provider, we will also tell applicants we are already speaking with.
