Sensitive information of jobseekers
I hold in my hands an original <<collection statement>>from a top Australian employment service company that requires job seekers to authorize the company to collect use and disclose, personal and sensitive information And what exactly is <<personal information?>> The <<collection statement>> explains. <<Personal information is any information or an opinion (whether true or not) about you…Personal information includes sensitive information .Sensitive information is a special category of personal information or opinion about your: racial or ethnic origin political opinion, membership of political association or religious beliefs, affiliations or philosophical beliefs, membership or trade associations, or membership of a trade union , sexual preference or practices, criminal records, health and disability>> (at any time) expressed wishes about the future provision of health services and so on. Why is this particular employment service company, in Australia, interested in the racial or ethnic origin of job seekers? Why is it interested in jobseeker’s religious beliefs and political opinions, their sexual preference and practice? Why do they pray so deeply into the personal life of each job seeker and employ? How can we speak of equal opportunities when our race, religious and even sexual practice affects our employment opportunities? Of cause the result for jobseekers who do not authorize this company to access <<sensitive>> information is well known. The company makes it very clearing in big bold Italic letters that << IF YOU DO NOT GIVE US THE INFORMATION WE SEEK…we may limited in our ability to locate suitable work for you, we may be limited in our ability to place you in work>>. And who <<will be collecting your personal and sensitive information?>> the statement asks further down. Well the <<company>> of cause!
