Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026

Introduction

RemoteQuokka operates remotequokka.com. We list home-based positions for people living in Australia and pass applications to the businesses offering them; those businesses, not RemoteQuokka, do the hiring. We are located in Port Augusta, South Australia, and can be contacted at careers@remotequokka.com. This policy sets out how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and kept, in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

Personal information we collect

Applications are made through a WhatsForm form (whatsform.com/8ga3ib) titled “Australia Jobs Application”, which opens when you press an Apply button. It asks for your name, email address, age, gender (male or female), nationality, country of residence and WhatsApp number, and nothing else. The second step of applying is a WhatsApp message to our HR team, which gives us your message, your WhatsApp number and the name on your profile. Emails you send give us your address and their contents.

Automatic technical data

Visiting remotequokka.com creates technical data including your IP address, device and browser details, pages viewed, the referring page and the time of each request. Our hosting provider uses it to keep the site running and to block attacks. We do not match it to applicants.

Consequences of not providing information

If a required field is left empty, we may be unable to contact you or send your application to an employer. Optional information can always be left out.

Sensitive details to leave out

RemoteQuokka never requests passwords, security codes, bank or card numbers, tax file numbers or identity document copies. Please keep these out of forms, WhatsApp messages and emails. They are deleted if received.

Use of personal information

We use personal information to consider and reply to applications, to identify the position you are interested in, to introduce you to the business offering it, to keep you informed of what happens next, to maintain records of applications and communications, to respond to complaints and misuse, and to meet our legal obligations.

Uses we rule out

Personal information is not sold or rented, and applying does not sign you up to marketing of any kind. Before introducing you to a business other than the one you applied to, we explain the introduction and wait for your consent.

Disclosure to employers

Within RemoteQuokka, only staff handling applications have access. The business offering your chosen position receives the details relevant to that position, and before the introduction you are told which business it is and what it will receive.

Third-party services

Cloudflare provides hosting and security for the website and forwards emails sent to our address. Google Fonts delivers the fonts used on the pages, so your browser contacts Google to load them. WhatsApp, operated by Meta, transmits the messages you exchange with our HR team. WhatsForm hosts the application form and stores what you submit. Google Ads (account AW-17729081855) measures how our advertising performs, and Google Analytics (G-X238PXWDQ6) counts page visits and form submissions. These services process data under their own terms. We will list any additional service here before starting to use it.

Disclosure where required

Personal information may be disclosed where required by law, or where permitted by law and reasonably necessary to investigate misuse or to protect the rights of any person.

Completing your application on WhatsApp

Submitting the form is not the end of the process: the application is finished once you send HR a WhatsApp message. The button opens WhatsApp with suggested text, and the chat is with our HR team's number. You stay in control, because no message is sent unless you press Send. Anyone unable to use WhatsApp can email careers@remotequokka.com to arrange another method.

Cookies and similar technologies

Google Ads sets cookies to link a visit to an advert click, and the form may set Google Analytics and functional cookies. A strictly necessary security cookie may be set by our hosting provider to detect automated traffic. Cookies can be disabled or removed through your browser settings without affecting the pages.

Measurement and advertising tags

remotequokka.com carries a Google Ads tag, account AW-17729081855. It shows us when a visitor arrived from one of our adverts and records a conversion when the application form is submitted. The site also sends page view and form submission statistics to Google Analytics under ID G-X238PXWDQ6. We do not use enhanced conversions, Customer Match or remarketing lists, and you can manage Google ad personalisation in your Google account. We will update this section before adding any other tag. Names, emails and phone numbers are never included in measurement events or URLs.

International data flows

Because Cloudflare, Google, WhatsForm and WhatsApp operate internationally, including in the United States, personal information may be processed outside Australia. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles on cross-border disclosure. Further details are available on request.

Retention

Application records and associated communications are retained for up to 12 months after our last substantive contact with you about a position, and then destroyed. Earlier deletion is available on request; longer retention happens only where a legal obligation or dispute requires it. Hosting logs generally expire within 30 days.

Security of information

The website uses HTTPS, and access to applications is limited to staff who need it. As no method is completely secure, we notify affected individuals of any eligible data breach under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Information held independently

Copies kept by an employer or by WhatsApp are outside our control, so deleting our records does not remove them. We will explain whom to contact in those cases.

Access, correction and deletion requests

To access, correct or delete your information, withdraw an application or raise a concern, email careers@remotequokka.com. We may verify your identity before acting. We aim to respond within 30 days and give reasons in writing if a request cannot be fully met. Withdrawal does not reverse a disclosure already made to a business.

Accuracy of records

Please tell us if any details you provided change, and we will correct our records.

Automated decision-making

RemoteQuokka does not make decisions about applicants by automated means. Applications are read by staff, and employers make hiring decisions.

Children's privacy

The website is intended for adults seeking work. Information found to relate to a child is deleted.

Privacy complaints

Complaints about how we have handled personal information can be sent to careers@remotequokka.com. We will investigate and respond in writing. If the response does not resolve the complaint, reply to it and a staff member not previously involved will review it.

Changes to this policy

Amended versions are published on this page with a revised date. Where an amendment changes how existing information is used, notice is given beforehand where required.
