The Apollonean Institute Pty. Ltd. is an ethical organisation, and wants to reassure candidates of the privacy of their information.

What information is collected, and why The Apollonean Institute requests only a minimum of Name information in order to allocate a unique identifier to that candidate. Pseudonyms may be used by the candidate if he or she desires. Gender and salutation are requested as the Apollo Profile personalised reports use personal pronouns such as him/her, she/he. Organisation Name/Department are optional fields that may be used when part of an organisation survey. Candidate age, address or email information is not requested. However if purchasing an Apollo Profile report online, the National Bank Secure Payments System will ask for email information to verify the payment transaction.

We will only record your email address if you send us a message. It will only be used for the purpose you have provided it, and it will not be added to a mailing list.

A series of statistically validated work-related questions are asked in order to compare candidate responses against others of the same level.

The Apollonean Institute does not request any "sensitive" personal information as defined in Section 6 of the Privacy Act 1988.
