PRIVACY POLICY

1. About our privacy policy

Provide Limited (referred to as “our”, “us” or "we") is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of our current, former and potential customers (referred to as “customers”, “you” and “your”).

This privacy policy sets out how we manage your personal information held by us, including how we collect, use, hold, disclose and otherwise process your personal information on the [Provide Platform] and applications. You will also find information about how to contact us if you have any privacy queries, including how to update or access your personal information or make a complaint.

It is important to note that, if we are unable to collect, use, hold, disclose and otherwise process your personal information in the manner authorised by this privacy policy then we may not be able to provide you with the full benefit of our products, services, offers or online and digital platforms.

When you provide us with your personal information (whether directly or indirectly) you are deemed to have read this privacy policy and to accept and consent to the provisions of this privacy policy without qualification.

2. How we collect personal information

Generally, the types of personal information that we collect from or about you depends on the circumstances in which the information is collected. We have described below examples of the types of personal information that may be collected, however this is not an exhaustive list:

·   Your name and contact details, including physical and postal address, email address, phone number, and mobile number.

·   Your qualifications and past work experience.

·   Your bank account details where required for our contracting software.

·   Information relating to the way you use or navigate any of our websites.  

·   Other personal information that we are permitted or required by law to obtain, as well as any other information that you choose to provide us.

·   We do collect tracing information during the period of your shift for the operation of our software (this is only within the designated area and time of your engagement)

We collect personal information from or about you in a variety of ways. We will try to collect personal information directly from you, either in person, over the phone, by email, or through our digital and online channels. However, we may also collect your personal information from other third parties, including our related entities, service providers, contractors, and agents.

3. Why we collect personal information and what we do with it

We only collect personal information that we consider necessary for the effective functioning or activities of our business, and we only hold, use and disclose it for the purposes for which it was originally collected (and for related purposes which you would reasonably expect), unless required or authorised by or under law or if you have consented to another use. Some of the specific purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information include to enable us to correspond with you and do business together, for reasons related to our business operations, such as to ensure we continue to deliver quality products and services to our customers and potential customers, and to enable the features of the App, to improve the App by determining which of our App are most popular, and to personalise the experience of the users of our websites and App.

Location information: When you run the Provide mobile app in your device, we collect location data through GPS, WIFI, or cellular triangulation. We use this information to provide location tracking service on our web site. We maintain this data only so long as is reasonable to provide our service. The main purpose of the app is to match workers with jobs that are based on user preferences in the app. The user is offered jobs and the app manages the user offer and acceptance, the user onboarding and job inductions, and also manages the user clock in and clock out for their work timesheets. Worker hours onsite are collated and this data is used to pay users for the time they worked. Out-of-date data is removed from our database.

4. Who has access to your personal information?

We respect the privacy of your personal information and will take all reasonable steps to keep it confidential. However, we may disclose your personal information if required in connection with the purposes described in this privacy policy. This may include disclosure to the following persons:

·   our employees, officers, contractors, agents, and third party service providers (for example, mailing houses, marketing agencies, airline programme partners, market research providers, printers, insurance providers, financiers, website and data hosting providers, data analytics providers, warranty companies, and other IT suppliers);

·   our related or affiliated companies and their respective employees, officers, contractors, service providers and agents (and our related or affiliated companies may disclose the personal information directly to their contractors, service providers and agents);

·   our accountants, insurers, lawyers, auditors and other professional advisors in order for us to obtain their advice;

·   to the extent you make personal information available on any public profile on our services, other users of that service;

·   any other third parties to whom you direct or permit us to disclose your personal information (e.g. third parties with whom we have directly or indirectly arranged services for your benefit);

·   any other third parties that require the information for law enforcement, formal dispute resolution, or to prevent a serious threat to public safety; and

·   as otherwise permitted or required by or under any applicable law.

Should we sell a part of or the whole of our business, our records of personal information will be transferred to the new business owner or any of its related or affiliated companies (as the case may be).
