Job seeker humiliated after Domino's applications shared and mocked online

Job applications for Domino’s in Palmerston North were posted to
Instagram, with applicants’ names, addresses and contact details.

Job applications for Domino’s in Palmerston North were posted to
Instagram, with applicants’ names, addresses and contact details.

A job seeker was shocked and angry to discover his application to a
Domino's pizza store was posted online and ridiculed.

Instagram user [57]coctonlyfans has posted several applications from
the Domino’s Palmerston North franchise in full, alongside mocking
comments.

Stuff has verified the account belonged to a relative of the franchise
owner, who until recently had worked at one of their three local
stores.

“I am actually pretty p..... My address, name, phone number, all my
private information is out there now,” said one victim, who did not
wish to be named.

breach threatens New Zealand applicants

He applied for the Domino’s job months ago and was warned by friends
who followed the account that his privacy had been breached.

“It is actually real f...... worrying.”

Nothing had happened yet but he had been threatened over Facebook by
someone who promised to track him down, come to his house and “sort him
out”, he said.

It felt harder to brush it off as an empty threat when his address was
on Instagram.

Stuff has received screenshots of two of the applications that were
posted but has not been able to confirm how many people were affected.

The coctonlyfans account was set to private by Monday and is currently
only visible to its 65 followers.

A Domino’s New Zealand spokeswoman said the company unreservedly
apologised to anyone affected by the privacy breach and it would take
appropriate steps to address the matter after a thorough investigation.

“Domino’s takes the privacy of all job applicants incredibly seriously
and we were saddened to hear these applicants have not been treated
with the respect they deserved.

“We would like to assure the community that this is an isolated
incident ... our recruitment process values privacy and integrity above
all else. We have strict privacy policies for this very reason.”
Instagram user coctonlyfans set their account to private, so Stuff
could not verify how many Domino's applications were posted online.

Instagram user coctonlyfans set their account to private, so Stuff
could not verify how many Domino's applications were posted online.

Online safety organisation Netsafe’s chief executive Martin Cocker said
15 per cent of Kiwis had been on the receiving end of online bullying
or harassment in the past 12 months – although things like this were a
bit more serious and less common than most of those cases.

Depending on the details, two pieces of legislation potentially applied
in a case like this, he said.

There was the Harmful Digital Communications Act, which concerned
anything from social media posts to texts, that disclosed private
information and/or were meant to harass or belittle a person.

The act was focused on harm reduction, so there was a warning and order
to delete the offending text or post first – and continued offending
could lead to financial penalties, he said.

Cocker said sharing confidential information, such as a job
application, was also a breach of the Privacy Act and it did not matter
if it was an accident or deliberate.

According to the Privacy Commission website, the commission
investigates complaints of privacy breaches and attempts to resolve the
issue with the people involved.

If the complaint cannot be resolved, the case is heard by the Human
Rights Tribunal which makes a ruling and may award compensation to the
people whose privacy has been breached – depending on the level of harm
it has caused.

For less serious cases compensation tends to be set between $5000 and
$10,000.
