Security of information

We will take all reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your information. We store information you provide on our secure, password- and firewall-protected servers. We ensure that all electronic financial transactions entered into through our Website are through an appropriate payment provider and protected by encryption technology.

Despite these measures, it is important to acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure and that we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. Users must also acknowledge the importance of keeping passwords safe.

Use of information

We may use your information to:

• personalise the Services, Website or notifications sent to you or your organisation
• supply or activate services and functionality available via the Services or Website

Disclosure of information

We may disclose information in the circumstances outlined below:

• to the extent that we are required to do so by law, in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings
• to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that information where, in our reasonable opinion, such an authority would be likely to order disclosure of that information
• in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk)
• to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset that we are, or are contemplating selling

We will never disclose information to:

International data transfers

Information that we collect may be stored, processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this policy. In using our services, you are explicitly agreeing to such a transfer of information.

If we transfer any information out of the European Economic Area (EEA), it will only be done with adequate assurances of the relevant protection (stated under UK law) for your privacy being in place.

Updating information

It will be possible to amend most of the information that we hold about you in the very near future via the Services. In the meantime please contact us if you wish to amend any details or if you are experiencing issues.

Retention and deletion of information

We do not keep information that we collect and process for any longer than is absolutely necessary. With that said, the Services are used by organisations to source Candidates to fill temporary vacancies in regulated environments such as healthcare. Many of these vacancies require that the Candidates meet various compliance criteria, for instance criminal record checks, previous job history and right to work. Whilst we would love to be able to immediately and completely erase a user’s personal information immediately after a request to do so, for legal purposes this simply is not possible due to the need for us to maintain an “audit trail” for a reasonable period of time.

With the above noted, upon a request to delete an account the associated personal information will be deleted according to the following schedule:

Deletion of organisational data occurs as follows:

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, we may retain information (including electronic documents) for longer than the times specified above in the following circumstances:

• to the extent that we are required to do so by law
• if we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings
• in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk)

Cookies

The Website may use cookies, either currently or in future. Technologies with a similar purpose such as web beacons may also be used. Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer, and from your computer to us, each time you visit our website. They do not typically contain data that can identify you personally but may be linked (via a unique ID for example) to other information about you or your organisation that we hold.

We may use either session-based or persistent cookies, or a combination of both. Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire.

Some cookies are unique to your unique account and/or your browser, and allow us to customise your experience, such as remembering that you are logged in or your last session state. Other cookies may allow us to analyse how you are using the website, see how it is performing, and detect problems. Disabling or disallowing cookies in your browser may therefore limit or break certain functionality of both the Website and other websites and is therefore not recommended for the best experience, but can still be done if desired.

The Company may set and access cookies on our company-owned domains, and additionally may use third party services (such as Google Analytics). You may opt-out of third party cookies from these providers on their respective websites.

We do not currently recognise or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals due to the lack of an appropriate cross-browser standard for implementation of such functionality.

Third party websites

Our application and website may include hyperlinks to, and details of, third party websites. We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the privacy policies and practices of any third parties.

Your rights

You may instruct us to provide you with a copy of any and all information we hold about you. Provision of such information is subject to:

• the payment of an administration fee (currently fixed at £10)
• the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity. For this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a letter or bill from an established organisation that shows your current address

We may withhold some information that you request to the extent permitted by law.

In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your information for marketing / research purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the use of your information for such purposes.

Changes to this policy

We may change this policy from time to time, and if we do we’ll post any changes on this page. If you continue to use our services after those changes are in effect, you implicitly agree to the revised policy. If the changes are significant, we may notify you and / or explicitly seek your consent to the new policy.
