Collecting information on Registered Users

As part of registering with Pitch'd, we collect Personal Information about Registered Users in order for Registered Users to take full advantage of the services offered by Pitch’d. To do this it will be necessary for Registered Users to provide additional information to Pitch'd.

Registration

Becoming a Registered User allows you to take advantage of more of the tools, services and resources that may assist you in finding a vacancy or sporting opportunity. To become a Registered User you will need to submit some Personal Information such as your name and email address. You may access your information at any time by clicking 'Settings' on 'the Site'.

Pitch’d Profile

A Pitch'd Profile can include a resume, sporting history, employment and educational history, contact details, and locations. You may populate this information on your Pitch'd Profile. You can edit your Pitch'd Profile at any time by logging into your account. Advertisers are able to search Pitch'd's Profile database to find and contact relevant candidates. Upon registration, all Registered Users will be asked to create a personal Pitch'd Profile ('Pitch'd Profile') by providing some key information and selecting one of the privacy settings outlined below. Candidates without Pitch'd Profiles will also be required to create a Pitch'd Profile when they first apply for a vacancy on the Site.

Online Applications

Making an online application to a vacancy advertisement on Pitch'd is a free and optional service that requires Candidates to complete mandatory fields (for example first name, last name, telephone number and email) so that the Advertiser can identify and contact the applicant. When first applying for a vacancy, Candidates who do not have a Pitch'd Profile will also be required to create a Pitch'd Profile based on the information contained in their application - you may subsequently edit your Pitch'd Profile here. Registered Users will also have the option of easily attaching a saved resume. When you apply for a vacancy advertisement on the Site, applications, including attachments and cover letters, are sent directly to the Advertiser and/or their nominated representative.

By applying to a position advertised on Pitch'd you are requesting that Pitch'd pass the information you provide to the relevant Advertiser and/or their nominated representative. Any questions you have relating to a position advertised on Pitch'd, your online application and/or the status of your application should be directed directly to the Advertiser or their nominated agent, not Pitch'd. Pitch'd will also retain this information in order to customise the service we provide to Candidates. Pitch'd reserves the right to disable or delete a saved resume or cover letter at its discretion.

Advertisers are asked by Pitch'd to comply with all relevant obligations relating to the use and disclosure of Personal Information that are outlined in the Privacy Act. The use of your information (personal or otherwise) by these Advertisers is not within the control of Pitch'd and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of these companies.

Candidates have the right to directly contact Advertisers to request access to any Personal Information that you have sent as part of an application or that has been provided to them as part of a Pitch'd Profile.

Storage & Security of Personal Information

Pitch'd takes all reasonable steps to ensure the security of our system and to protect your information from misuse, interference and loss as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Pitch'd allows you to access your information at any time to keep it accurate and up to date.

Access to Your Information

If you become a Registered User, you are able to change or update your Profile at any time by logging in to 'Profile area of the Site.
