Privacy Policy

1. In short

• No visitor account is needed to read jobs, guides or articles.
• We only receive what you decide to send us by email, WhatsApp, phone or post.
• Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (where switched on) start only if you click Accept all.
• Saying no to analytics does not limit the site.
• An application is read by our team in the UAE and, if relevant, by the employer for the job you chose, often in Australia or New Zealand.
• You can ask to see, fix or delete what we hold about you.

2. Who we are and how to reach us

Red Migration FZC decides why and how the information covered here is handled.

Email: jobs@jobsabroad.com.au
Phone (calls and WhatsApp calls): +61 2 7247 4855
WhatsApp chat: +971 50 283 2394
Post: 108, 6th Street, Al Hamriya, Bur Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Privacy questions can go to any of these or through the contact page. We do not have an office in Australia; these are the operator’s own contact points.

3. What you send us

Applications by email

The apply button on a job opens the contact page. From there, the email link starts a message in your own email program, with the job details filled in where available. Nothing reaches us until you press send to jobs@jobsabroad.com.au.

A typical application holds your name, contact details, CV, employment history, referees and copies of qualifications. Keep it to what the job needs. Please leave passport scans, tax file numbers, health records and police certificates out of a first email unless we have asked for them and explained why.

WhatsApp

If you message us, we see your number, profile name and whatever you send, including photos, files and voice notes. Following our WhatsApp channel only lets you receive posts; it does not open a chat with us. Meta’s terms and privacy policy apply to WhatsApp itself.

Phone calls and letters

We keep notes of what you tell us when it is needed to deal with your request. The site has no web form that collects your details.

4. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours is served by infrastructure that logs each request: IP address, browser and device details, the address requested and the time. Google Cloud keeps these request logs for 30 days. The server also counts requests briefly in memory so it can slow down abusive traffic.

We use these records to keep the site running and secure. Searching or filtering jobs does not create an applicant record about you.

5. Analytics, only if you agree

We use Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity when it is switched on, to see which pages are useful. Neither loads until you choose Accept all in the cookie banner. Choose Reject all and the whole site still works. Cookie settings in the footer lets you change your mind later.

With your agreement, these tools record things like the pages you open, clicks and scrolling, and your browser, device and approximate country. Clarity can build heatmaps and replay sessions, with anything typed into fields masked. Microsoft explains in its privacy statement how it may also use this data, including for advertising.

We do not pass your CV, your messages, your name or your email address to either tool. What you type into the site search can reach Google Analytics, so keep personal details out of the search box. Google Analytics advertising features are off for this site, and no analytics run on the staff administration pages.

See Google’s privacy policy, the Microsoft Privacy Statement and our Cookie Policy. Agreeing to analytics is not agreement to marketing or to your application going to other employers.

6. Services built into the pages

Your browser stores your analytics choice and a small value that lets the site reload itself cleanly after an update. Fonts come from Google Fonts. Video sections can show YouTube thumbnails, and the youtube-nocookie.com player only loads when you press play.

Firebase Authentication handles sign-in for authorised staff using the administration area; visitors never sign in. Each of these services receives the technical details it needs to work.

7. How we use it

• Replying to you on the channel you used.
• Checking your experience against the job you applied for.
• Passing a suitable application to that job’s employer and arranging interviews or further questions.
• Running, protecting and fixing the website.
• Understanding site use, within the analytics choice you made.
• Meeting legal obligations that apply to us.

Application documents are never used for advertising. No automated system on the site decides who is hired; employers make that decision.

8. Your choices

Sending us anything is your choice. If key details are missing, we may not be able to answer or put your application forward. Please be accurate and check with referees before giving us their contact details.

Writing to us about one job does not mean we can send your CV anywhere we like. We ask you first before offering your application to a different employer, and we tell you before using information in a new way that needs your agreement.

Withdraw analytics consent at any time through Cookie settings. To stop us handling an application, email us; we will tell you what that means in practice and whether anything has to be kept for legal reasons.

9. Who we share it with

• Team members who need it to deal with your enquiry or application.
• The employer advertising the job you chose, usually in Australia or New Zealand.
• A registered or licensed adviser, if you ask for that help and they need your details. When a visa application is involved, we work with Australian registered migration agents and New Zealand licensed immigration advisers.
• Providers we rely on, such as Google Cloud, our email provider, WhatsApp and Meta.
• Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (where switched on), only within your analytics choice.
• Government bodies, where the law requires us to disclose.

The site’s database holds published jobs, articles and videos, not the CVs people email us. Employers and advisers handle what they receive under their own privacy obligations.

10. Handling outside Australia

The website’s web server (Google Cloud Run) runs in Google Cloud’s Singapore region, and its content database (Cloud Firestore) in Google Cloud’s Sydney, Australia region. Requests you make to the site are therefore handled outside Australia. Your messages are read by our team in the United Arab Emirates, and employers may be in Australia or New Zealand. Google, Microsoft, Meta and our email and sign-in providers also run infrastructure worldwide, including in the United States.

Australia’s Privacy Principles deal with this kind of disclosure in APP 8: generally, before personal information covered by the Privacy Act goes to an overseas recipient, reasonable steps must be taken so that the recipient does not breach the Principles, subject to exceptions. Other countries’ laws may not protect information in the same way as Australian law. Ask us which recipients and countries apply to your application.

11. How long we keep it

We keep emails, messages and attachments while we are dealing with your enquiry or application and for a reasonable time afterwards, depending on the outcome, whether you are still in touch with us and any legal reason to keep a record. No single period suits every case, and we do not keep applications indefinitely as a matter of course.

Ask us what period applies to you, or ask us to delete your information. Records we no longer need are deleted or de-identified. Request logs expire after 30 days; the Cookie Policy covers browser storage.

12. Keeping it safe

We use HTTPS, access limited to authorised staff, database access rules and limits on request rates. No online system is completely secure, so think before you send sensitive documents and only send identity numbers or records when they are needed for the current step.

13. Access, correction and complaints

Email jobs@jobsabroad.com.au to ask what we hold about you, to see it, to correct it or to have it deleted, or to raise a concern. Tell us enough to find the right messages. We may need to confirm who you are before releasing anything, but please do not send a full identity document unless we ask.

Where the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) applies to how we handle your information, including through its provisions on acts done outside Australia by organisations with an Australian link, the 13 Australian Privacy Principles set the rules on collection, use, disclosure, security, access and correction. The Act sets the scope and exceptions; it does not give an unlimited right to have every record deleted.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, complain to us first and give us a chance to fix it. If our answer does not resolve it, you can complain in writing to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), or to another regulator where its law applies. We do not suggest that everything the UAE operator does is automatically covered by Australian law.

14. Over-18s only

The site is meant for job seekers aged 18 and over. If you think someone under 18 has sent us personal information, tell us and we will review it and delete what we do not need.

15. Links to other sites

Government websites, social networks and resources such as Skills Assessment Australia, Build AI CV, Talent Tabloid, PractiseNow, Interview Training and Seasonal Jobs Australia are run by others. Check their privacy information before giving them your details.

16. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when the site, our providers or the law change. The date at the top shows the current version. If a change needs your agreement or extra notice, we will ask or tell you in the appropriate way.
