On occasion this will also include sensitive personal information such as details of criminal convictions and ethnic origin. When we receive your details and CV electronically, this may be through a direct application on one of our websites or an application that you have made through a third-party job board.
We will likely obtain further personal information about you during the course of our relationship with you. This information may be obtained from you directly or from third parties, such as organizations to whom we have provided your CV and who have engaged with you as part of a job application.
How will we use your personal information?
We use the information we collect to provide you the best possible service. This includes notifying you of future job opportunities, improving our websites and answering your questions. We may also use your information to contact you about industry updates, events, promotions and competitions.

We obtain our information from you directly, which includes submitting an application, CV or fill out one of our online forms.
Each time we have contact with you we may ask to collect particular personal information about you.
If we have not already done so, when or before we collect information, we will take reasonable steps to inform you of:
The purpose for which the information is collected;
Where applicable, any law requiring information to be collected;
The main consequences if all or part of the information is not provided.
We may approach your referees for a reference and/or make enquiries of your former employers, work mates, professional or representative organizations and employment or labor hire agencies.

The length of time we will hold or store your personal information for will depend on the services we perform for you and for how long you require these.

(b) we are not holding data for too long.
Our standard terms of business state that our clients should retain candidate data such as CVs for the purposes of the specific role you apply for and that, as controllers of your data, they should inform you if they plan to retain your CV on file in order to notify you about potential future roles, or to otherwise hold or use your data for other purposes.

Right To Object To Or Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information by contacting us using any of the methods in the contact section below.

What’s Your Cookie Policy?
We want your user experience to be the best it can possibly be, which is why we use cookies. These are small text files placed on your device to collect data and help improve our websites and online services.
Details:
Use Of Cookies
Like most websites, when you visit our sites we place cookies on your computer or other device. For the most part, these cookies are used to enable the websites' functionality, improve the user experience or help us to optimize our websites, measure traffic and other internal management purposes.
We run targeted and relevant banner advertising on a number of whitelisted websites around the world to present you with jobs and content that we believe will be of interest. We target these adverts based on your previous interactions with our website, with our emails and through your engagements with our consultants. Your interaction with our advertising may be used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to improve our marketing strategy in accordance with our legitimate interests. No advertising campaigns or advertising tracking technology records your personally identifiable information.
Security:
SSL Technology
We employ Secure Service Layer (SSL) Technology whenever any transaction is completed over our Site. Transactions involving the passage of personal information occur in one of our secure online areas only. SSL technology encrypts the information you send through our Site. The use of SSL technology requires two components –
An SSL–compatible browser; and
A web server to perform “key–exchange” that establishes a secure connection.
For You To Benefit From The SSL Technology Which We Have Implemented:
You will need a browser with SSL capabilities. The latest versions of commonly used web browsers generally have this capability. However, it is your responsibility to check that this is the case. If you do not already have a browser with SSL capabilities, you can download an SSL browser from a vendor's website.
You will also need an internet service provider that enables SSL technology. Nearly all internet service providers automatically enable SSL technology, but you will need to ensure that this is the case with your service provider.
