Privacy policy.
Last updated 22 September 2026
HR In Practice (HR IP), operated by Linda Devereux, respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you contact us, use this website or engage our services.
Information we may collect
We may collect your name, contact details, role, organisation and the information you provide when you email or communicate with us. During an HR engagement, we may also receive information about employees, candidates or other people from a client or directly from those individuals. This may include employment history and, where relevant to the work and permitted, sensitive information.
Our website does not currently have a contact form. Technical information may be processed by the services used to operate and secure the website.
How we use information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide and manage HR services, communicate with clients, meet professional and legal obligations, and maintain appropriate business records. We seek to use information only for the purpose for which it was provided or another related purpose that is permitted or agreed.
Sharing and storage
We may share information with service providers, professional advisers or others involved in delivering an agreed service, where appropriate. We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law. Some technology providers may process or store information outside Australia. You can contact us for details relevant to your information.
We take reasonable steps to protect information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. We retain it for as long as needed for the purpose collected and applicable record keeping obligations, then securely delete or de-identify it where appropriate.
Access, correction and concerns
You can ask to access or correct personal information we hold about you by emailing info@hrip.com.au. Please also use that address if you have a privacy question or complaint. We will consider your request and respond within a reasonable time. If a concern remains unresolved, you may be able to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
