Organisations have to handle personal data of their job applicants, existing staff and former staff. With the technology advancement, some employers may also collect and use staff's biometric data (eg facial images or fingerprints).  Improper handling of such data may lead to complaints from staff, investigations from Privacy Commissioner's Office and even lawsuits.

Through this webinar, we will highlight some important matters that you need to note on handling personal data from HR's perspective. Those matters relate to the following processes:  

• Collection & use of job applicants' personal data (including unsuccessful applicants);
• Collection & use of employees' personal data;
• Data retention and security measures;
• Handling former employees' personal data (eg providing job references)
