Cookies

This web site uses first party, session cookies. These are not stored on the hard drive of your computer and expire automatically once you leave the site. These cookies cannot run processes on your computer, retrieve any information about you, read any cookies you have been sent by other web sites or identify you personally.

Information sent to the server by your web browser

All web site servers record the IP address of your user session together with the type of operating system and browser version you are using. IP addresses can be analysed to establish the Internet Service Provider you are using and the country you are connecting from but do not identify you individually. For security and technical support purposes, the date/time and IP address of your user session is logged with your record when you register or login.

Registered details

If you register for any of the job search tools provided, you are not anonymous to us. However, any personal details you enter are only available to other registered users on a need to know basis and under your direct control.

If you are looking for work, the information we collect at the time of registration includes your name, address, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address and the country(s) you are eligible to work in. At the time of making a job application, further information about your professional qualifications and experience will also be required.

Your personal details are only disclosed to individual agencies or employers if you make the decision to progress with an application for a position they are advertising on the site. If you make your career profile available to registered employers and agencies in the searchable skills-base, your record is stripped of any personal or identifying information and will only display your professional qualifications and a summary of your experience. Companies will make initial contact via a messaging facility on the site to prevent you from being identified by your e-mail address.

If you subscribe to job alerts you will be sent an automatic e-mail whenever a new position that matches your job search requirements is posted on the site. If you decide to add your career profile to the skills-base directory, you may receive e-mails from employers and agencies that have registered to use this service, with job opportunities relevant to your experience.

We may contact you with essential information relating to your user account or changes to the web site. We may also contact you periodically to confirm that you wish to maintain your user account and that your registered e-mail address is still valid.

We will not send you any marketing messages or unsolicited newsletters, nor will your details be passed on or sold to any other organisation for marketing purposes.

We do not collect or use personal data for any purpose other than that indicated above. If we wish to use your personal data for any additional purpose, we will offer you the means to consent to this first.

Cancellation

You may suspend any services you have subscribed to or cancel your user account at any time by using the link provided in your personal home page. Your record will be disabled and archived for 1 year, during which time you can request to have it reactivated. If no request is received within 1 year of cancellation, it will be deleted unless it is the subject of legal proceedings or an unresolved complaint.

Confidentiality / Security

All communications between you and the web site server are encrypted during transmission and cannot be viewed by anyone else over the Internet.

We have security policies, rules and technical measures in place to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss.

We also have procedures in place to ensure that only the owner of the e-mail address used to register is able to create a personal profile on the database.

We will not disclose your personal information to anyone unless we are required to do so by law.
