D. WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION:

Automatically collected information:

The automatically-collected information described in section B above, is used by our servers to provide aggregate, non-personal statistics on website traffic only. Such data collection cannot be prevented or deleted.

Voluntarily provided information:

  1. Depending on the purpose of your use, we may use the identifiable personal data voluntarily provided by you, for example, for one or more of the following: (a) to provide you information about our business and services, (b) to consider you for internal and external opportunities for work, inclusive of the associated screening, (c) administer your records if you are employed, supplied, or introduced, (d) to advertise, market or conduct public relations work for you, (e) to produce accounts and administrative records involving you, (f) to educate or train you, (g) to provide you consulting, advisory or representation services, (h) to undertake campaigns, public relations or fundraising work for you, (i) to conduct internal research for ourselves and (j) to investigate and decide on a complaint by you.

We may also use non-identifiable personal information to conduct trends analyses and provide aggregate, anonymous data to any third party for any purpose.
  3. We will not send you unsolicited commercial or marketing information and we will not share, transfer or sell your personal information to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes.
  4. In the context of recruitment, any CV and personal information you send us, will not be shared with clients or prospective employers in any form which could identify you, without your prior consent. The exception to this, is the retained service of Recruitment Advertising, where our clients pay for attracting suitable applicants, usually in anonymity, therefore, your identifiable personal information will be shared with the client applicable. However, for all our recruitment services, retained or not, you are given the opportunity, in our Application Procedure, to pre-list any potential employers to whom we are not to present or share your application. Such lists, where provided by you, are kept strictly confidential.
    • We will not place your identifiable personal information or CV on any website database which can be accessed by clients, potential employers, prospecting external recruiters, or the general public. All matching and screening is conducted on a segregated, non-website, internal database and you will be consulted before your identifiable personal details are presented to a client or a potential employer.
    • We shall, however, have the automatic right to circulate your profile in a non-identifiable form to clients or potential employers, or place such profiles on our freely-accessible website.

We will not disclose your personal information in an identifiable form to third parties without your express consent. However, by using our site and services, you consent that your identifiable personal information may be disclosed to:

E. SECURITY:

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. However, we are unable to guarantee security against malicious interception by third parties, or accidental mis-transmissions. Unless malicious intent or gross negligence can be proven on our part, we shall not be liable for any breach of security in receiving or transmitting your confidential, proprietary or sensitive information.
    2. Data collected with a user’s consent will not be kept for longer than is necessary. What constitutes a necessary period will depend on whether any service was actually provided and whether any retention laws apply. Submissions that have been inactive for six years are deleted automatically and securely. Earlier deletion of inactive submissions may be requested by writing to the Data Protection Officer in section G.
