Your data is the raw material of everything we do for you, so we treat it carefully. This policy sets out what we gather when you visit the site or use the service, what we do with it, who we pass it to, and how we keep it safe. It is written to be readable and to line up with the privacy laws that apply to us.
The service itself involves sharing. When you authorise us to apply on your behalf, your resume, profile and personal details go out to employers, recruiters and hiring platforms. Read this policy so you know exactly how that works before you switch it on.
Using the site or the service means you have read and understood this policy. If any part of it does not sit right with you, please do not use the service. We revise this page from time to time, so it is worth a look now and again.
