Home / Privacy Statement
Last updated 6 November 2026
WorkOriel is a recruitment service based in Smithton, Tasmania, Australia, and we operate workoriel.com. We help people who live in Australia take up home-based roles provided by other organisations. Below we explain which personal information we come across and what we do with it.
WorkOriel observes the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You can ask us anything about this statement at careers@workoriel.com.
There is no form on workoriel.com yet. Applicants reach us on WhatsApp or by email, which means the only information we receive is what you write to us. Generally that is:
This statement will be updated, with each field listed, before any form appears on the site.
We never buy lists of names and we do not take details from social media profiles. If an employer tells us how an introduction went, for instance that a role has been filled, we may record that in a short note so we can let you know.
Whenever a page is requested, our host automatically records routine details: IP address, browser and device type, page and time. These help us run the site safely. We do not use them to identify who you are.
We need one way to answer you, either your WhatsApp number or your email address. The rest is up to you, and leaving things out will not count against you.
WorkOriel will not ask you for a password, a one-time security code, internet banking details or photos of identity documents. We do not ask applicants for money or for access to any bank account. If you get a message that does ask for these things in our name, it is not from us. Ignore it and forward it to careers@workoriel.com.
We use your messages to reply to you, explain the course and the roles, recommend the role that suits you, and set up an introduction to an employer when you are ready. Keeping a short record of our conversation means you will not have to repeat yourself.
We will never sell, trade or lease applicant information. We will not use your details to market unrelated products. They go only to an employer you have agreed to, and to no one else without asking you first.
You will always know which employer you are being introduced to beforehand. Once you agree, the employer receives only the details it needs, usually just your name and mobile. The employer then keeps its own copy under the privacy laws that apply to it.
The following outside services help us run the website and stay in contact with applicants:
We will add any new provider that handles applicant information to this list before using it.
We may disclose information where Australian law, a court or tribunal order, or an authorised government agency requires it, or where we reasonably believe it is needed to prevent a serious threat to someone's safety.
Every WhatsApp conversation with us is started by you. Our links only open WhatsApp with a suggested message, and nothing reaches us until you press send. After that, we can see the message, your WhatsApp display name and your number.
workoriel.com does not run analytics or advertising cookies right now. Your browser may save small technical files that help the pages load properly. If we add a measurement or advertising tool, this statement will describe it, including its identifier, before it goes live.
The site does not currently include a Google Ads tag or other advertising code. If we add one, this section will name it, explain what it measures and confirm that names, phone numbers and answers are never sent through it.
Our providers may keep or process information in other countries, such as the United States and countries of the European Union, under their own published privacy and security commitments.
We remove WhatsApp and email records no later than 12 months after our last conversation with you. Technical logs are deleted within 30 days, and backups are replaced within a further 30 days.
Only WorkOriel team members who handle applications can see applicant messages. We protect our accounts with strong, unique passwords and two-step sign-in where available. No online service is perfectly secure, so please hold back sensitive information unless we ask for it.
Your WhatsApp chat history stays on your own phone, and employers keep their own records. Deleting our copy has no effect on those.
To see what we hold about you, to correct it or to have it deleted, email careers@workoriel.com. We will respond within 30 days. You may leave the process whenever you choose and we will stop using your details, although we cannot recall information already given to an employer with your agreement.
Privacy wording can be hard going. If any part of this statement does not make sense to you, email us and we will explain it in plain words before you decide what to share.
We do not use automated decision-making. Every application is read and answered by someone on our team.
The roles we introduce are for people aged 18 or older, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger.
If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, email careers@workoriel.com with the details. We will check what happened and write back to you.
If you would like to tell a friend about WorkOriel, please share our website address rather than giving us their details, so they can read this statement and decide for themselves.
We revise this statement when our practices change. The date at the top shows the current version. For larger changes, such as adding a form or provider, we will also notify applicants we are in touch with.
