We will not use sensitive health information for any purpose other than the provision of our Services to your organisation, unless required by law or with explicit consent.
5. Consent
By using FairTest, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this policy.
For sensitive health information (drug and alcohol test results), collection and processing is carried out on behalf of your employing organisation. Your organisation is responsible for obtaining any required consent from employees in accordance with their own workplace policies and applicable legislation, including workplace health and safety laws.
6. Disclosure of Information
We may disclose personal information to:
6.1 Your Organisation
Test results, selection data, and employee records are accessible to authorised users within your organisation based on their assigned role (owner, admin, manager, or tester).
6.2 Testing Providers
Where an organisation engages a third-party testing provider through FairTest, relevant employee and test data may be shared with that provider to facilitate testing services.
6.3 Third-Party Service Providers
We use the following third-party services to operate the Platform:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared | Location |

7. Cross-Border Disclosure
Some of our third-party service providers are located outside Australia, primarily in the United States. Before disclosing personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient handles your information in a manner consistent with the APPs.
8. Data Security
We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest

- Role-based access control within organisations
- Secure authentication with support for multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Biometric authentication on mobile devices (data stored locally on-device, never transmitted)
- Regular security monitoring and audit logging of data access
No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account or your organisation’s account remains active, or as needed to provide the Services. Specific retention practices include:

- Billing records — retained as required by tax and financial reporting laws
- AI chat conversations — retained per user and organisation for continuity of service
- SMS and email records — retained for a reasonable period for delivery confirmation and troubleshooting
Upon termination of an organisation’s account, we will delete or de-identify personal information within a reasonable period, unless retention is required by law.

- Access the personal information we hold about you

11. Notifiable Data Breaches
In the event of an eligible data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988. This includes notifying affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required.
