Privacy policy

We (FrontFoot Technologies Pty Ltd, trading as Front Foot Law ABN 14 627 976 747) care about your privacy and handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what choices you have. “You” means anyone whose personal information we hold.

It applies to information we collect through our website (frontfootlaw.com), our social channels, our events, email, and in the course of providing our resourcing and consulting services.

What we collect

What we collect depends on how you deal with us:

• If you’re a candidate: your name and contact details, CV, work history, qualifications, references and right-to-work information. Occasionally this includes sensitive information (for example, a background check), which we handle with extra care and only when needed. We usually collect it from you, and sometimes from public professional profiles (like LinkedIn) or a referral, with your knowledge.
• If you’re a client, or work for one: the contact and role details of the people we deal with and, for consulting engagements, information about how your legal team operates.
• If you visit our website: basic technical and usage information, collected through cookies (see below).
• Everyone else: if you contact us, download a template, subscribe to our newsletter or come to an event, we collect what you give us.

Why we collect it

We use your information to:

• match candidates with, and place them in, roles with our clients;
• deliver our consulting work and manage our engagements;
• run our events and send updates you’ve asked for;
• run, manage and improve our business; and
• meet our legal obligations.

How we keep it safe, and for how long

We store your information in our business systems, including secure cloud platforms, and take reasonable steps to protect it such as access controls, staff confidentiality obligations, and encryption where appropriate. We keep it only for as long as we need it for the purposes above or to meet a legal obligation, then destroy or de-identify it.

Where your information goes, and our use of AI

Some of the providers we rely on store and process data overseas, including in the United States. Our main platform, Notion, holds data in the United States. We use AI features within our secure business systems to help us work on enterprise terms that mean your information is not used to train AI models.

We share personal information only where we need to:

• with service providers who help us operate (for example, IT, hosting and software providers);
• with a prospective client, where you’re a candidate and have agreed to be put forward for a role;
• with our professional advisers; and
• with the parties involved if we ever restructure or sell the business.

Cookies and our website

We use cookies to understand how our website is used and to improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.

Marketing, and your choices

We may send you updates about our services and events. You can opt out at any time — use the unsubscribe link in any message, or just contact us. If you opt out of marketing, we may still contact you about something we’re already working on together.

Dealing with us anonymously

Where it’s practical, you can ask to deal with us anonymously or under a pseudonym. Sometimes we’ll need to identify you to help e.g. to put you forward for a role.

Seeing or correcting your information

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, or to correct it, at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer (below). We’ll respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days. It’s free to ask, though occasionally we may charge a reasonable cost for giving access.

If you have a concern

If you think we’ve mishandled your information, please contact our Privacy Officer and we’ll work to put it right, usually within 30 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner on 1300 363 992 or at oaic.gov.au.

Employee records

If you work for us, information in your employee records is handled under your employment arrangements and is generally outside this policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on our website.
