Privacy Policy

1. User Data Policy

The Company collects and processes personal data provided by users during the registration and use of the App. This data is used solely for the purpose of delivering the services offered through the App.
The Company will share a security officer’s personal data with a security firm only when a job application is accepted by the firm. The data shared will be limited to the information voluntarily provided by the security officer on their profile.
The Company is committed to safeguarding user data and will take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure.
By using the App, users consent to the collection, use, and sharing of their personal data as described in these Terms. Users may withdraw consent at any time, though this may limit their ability to use certain features of the App.
The Company will retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

2. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The services provided through the App are offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties, express or implied. The Company disclaims all liability for the performance of security officers or security firms, including, but not limited to, the payment of wages, Superannuation, and compliance with applicable employment laws.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, arising from the use of the App or any interactions between security officers and security firms. The Company further disclaims any responsibility for User Content, the quality, safety, or legality of jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates, or the ability of candidates to fill job openings. The Company makes no representations about any jobs, profiles, resumes, or user content on its App.
The Company does not endorse or recommend any of the jobs, businesses, or self-employment opportunities advertised on its App. The Company strongly recommends that prior to entering into any agreement with any advertisers on its App, users obtain independent legal, accounting, financial, or taxation advice as appropriate. Users are solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, merchandise, and other information provided through the Company’s App or on the internet generally.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any user content, including but not limited to profiles or other material, from its App, acting reasonably. The Company may remove user content of an employer in accordance with the advertising Terms of Use.
The Company’s App may include content from other internet sites or resources. While the Company endeavours to ensure that material included on its App is correct, reputable, and of high quality, it makes no warranties or guarantees in relation to that content. If the Company is informed of any inaccuracies in the material on its App, it will attempt to correct the inaccuracies as soon as reasonably possible.
Users acknowledge that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, associated with dealing with strangers, underage persons, or people acting under false pretences. Users assume all risks associated with dealing with other Users with whom they come into contact through the Company’s App. Other people’s information may be offensive, harmful, or inaccurate, and in some cases may be mislabelled or deceptively labelled. Users are expected to use caution and common sense when using the Company’s App.
The Company’s App and its content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The Company makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of its App or content. The use of the Company’s App and content is at the user’s own risk.
Nothing on the Company’s App shall be considered an endorsement, representation, or warranty with respect to any user or third party, whether in regard to their products, services, hiring, experience, employment, recruiting practices, or otherwise.
While the Company takes all due care in ensuring the privacy and integrity of the information users provide, the possibility exists that this information could be unlawfully observed by a third party while in transit over the internet or while stored on the Company’s systems or on its App. The Company disclaims all liability to the greatest extent possible under the law should this occur.
If the Company is in breach of these Terms or has any other legal liability to a User (to the extent it cannot be excluded under law), the Company will only be responsible for any losses that the user suffers as a direct result and to the extent that they are a foreseeable consequence to both parties at the time the user uses the Company’s App. The Company’s liability shall not in any event include business losses such as lost data, lost profits, or business interruption.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company’s liability for breach of a term (whether implied or otherwise) that cannot be excluded by law is limited, at the Company’s option, to either the supply of the products or services (or the equivalent products or services) again or the payment of the cost of having the products or services supplied again.
