'Reboot your privacy' is the theme for PAW 2020 which runs from the 4th to 10th of May. 'Reboot your privacy' encourages individuals and organisations to take the steps required to review privacy settings and strengthen passwords and online security controls.

Protecting individual privacy is central to what we do at Veritas Check which is why we are a proud PAW 2020 supporter. Veritas Check’s focus on innovation and technology means that we are continuously improving our cyber security measures, resulting in a highly secure and streamlined online application process for individuals across our business lines.

Veritas Check complies with the Australian Privacy Principles as set out in the Privacy Act 1988. Veritas Check collects personal information on a strictly need to know basis. This means the only information we collect is the information applicants choose to tell us, or authorise Veritas Check to obtain, for the purpose of providing a National Police Check issued by the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

AFP National Police Checks are issued by the Australian Federal Police through Veritas Check. Veritas Check can only provide AFP National Police Checks for: Immigration, Visa, Overseas Employment or Citizenship purposes.

Veritas Check's technology allows applicants to apply securely online, upload required identity documents and receive the background check results via mail directly from the AFP.

Veritas Check staff are regularly trained in the handling and storage of personal information and principles of good privacy practice. Veritas Check is transparent with how we handle personal information. For more information on how we handle personal data please read our Privacy Policy.
