Home / Privacy Policy
Last updated 6 November 2026
hyrecairn.com belongs to HyreCairn, a small online recruitment service operating from Cardwell, Queensland, Australia. We put people living in Australia in touch with home-based roles that separate businesses offer. This policy describes the personal information we come across when you visit the site or contact us, and what we do with it.
HyreCairn follows the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Questions about anything below can be sent to careers@hyrecairn.com.
The site does not carry an application form yet. Anyone who gets in touch does so on WhatsApp or by email, which means we only see what you decide to tell us. Usually that is:
When a form is added to the site, this policy will be updated beforehand and every question on that form will be listed here.
We never purchase lists of contacts and we do not gather details from social media profiles. If an employer lets us know the outcome of an introduction, for instance that a position has been filled, we may record a brief note so we can keep you up to date.
Our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical details whenever a page loads, such as the requesting IP address, the type of browser and device, the page requested and the time of the request. These logs help keep the site stable and protected from abuse. We do not use them to identify individual visitors.
To reply to you we need some way to reach you, which means a WhatsApp number or an email address. Everything else is optional. If you would rather not share something, simply leave it out; it will not count against you.
HyreCairn staff will not request your passwords, one-time verification codes, online banking logins or photos of identity documents, whether by WhatsApp, email or any other channel. Applicants are never asked by us for money or bank account access either. If you receive a message asking for any of these things in our name, it is not from us. Do not respond, and forward it to careers@hyrecairn.com.
We use what you send to answer your questions, explain the training course and the roles available, suggest the role that fits you best, and arrange an introduction to an employer when you ask us to. Keeping a short record of our conversation means you do not have to repeat yourself each time you get in touch.
Your details are never sold, traded or rented out. We do not use them to market unrelated products or services to you. They go only to an employer you have agreed to be introduced to. If we ever wanted to pass them to a different employer, we would ask you first.
Before any introduction we tell you which employer it is. Once you agree, we share only what that employer needs, normally your name and mobile number. From that point the employer holds its own copy and is responsible for it under the privacy laws that apply to it.
We rely on a small number of outside providers to run the site and stay in contact with applicants:
Should we start using another provider that handles applicant information, it will be named on this page before we begin.
We may disclose information when an Australian law, a court or tribunal order, or an authorised government body requires us to, or when we reasonably believe it is needed to prevent a serious threat to someone's life, health or safety.
Contact on WhatsApp always starts with you. Opening one of our WhatsApp links only launches the app with a message ready; nothing reaches us until you press send. After you send it, we can see your message, your WhatsApp profile name and your phone number.
hyrecairn.com does not run analytics or advertising cookies at present. Your browser may store small technical files that help the pages load and display correctly. If we add a measurement or advertising tool, we will describe it in this policy, including its identifier, before it goes live.
No advertising tags are installed on hyrecairn.com today. If we later add a Google Ads tag to measure our adverts, this section will name the tag, explain which actions it counts, and confirm that names, phone numbers and answers are never included in the data it sends.
Cloudflare, Google and WhatsApp may store or process information on servers in other countries, including the United States and member states of the European Union. Each of these companies publishes its own privacy and security commitments.
We delete WhatsApp and email records within 12 months of our last conversation with you. Technical logs are removed within 30 days, and any backup copies are overwritten within a further 30 days.
Applicant messages can be opened only by the HyreCairn team members who look after applications. Our accounts use strong, unique passwords and two-step sign-in where it is available. No online system is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless we have asked for it.
A copy of any WhatsApp chat stays on your own device, and an employer you are introduced to will keep its own records. When we delete our copy, those other copies are not affected.
You can email careers@hyrecairn.com to find out what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. We will respond within 30 days. You may withdraw from the process whenever you like and we will stop using your details, although we cannot recall information already given to an employer with your agreement.
We do not use automated decision-making. Every message and application is read and handled by a person on our team.
The roles we introduce are for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
If you think we have not handled your information properly, email careers@hyrecairn.com and tell us what happened. We will investigate and reply to you in writing.
When our practices change we update this policy, and the date at the top tells you which version is current. For significant changes, such as adding a form or a new service provider, we will also let applicants who are in contact with us know.
HyreCairn, Cardwell, Queensland, Australia. Email careers@hyrecairn.com. We are open daily, 9am to 5pm AEST.
