We respect your right to privacy and we take the privacy of your information very seriously, whether you are a first time visitor to our website or a regular user.

Information you provide to the Website

We collect, store and use information you provide when using this website, including, but not restricted to:

• information relating to any transactions between you and this website
• information that you provide relating to your registration with the website, including contact details and information relating to your career and contract search
• any other information that you choose to submit to the site or otherwise send to us

Contractors and Recruiters who register with the website (and thereby provide information to the website) should do so in the knowledge that it is the intention of the Website to act as a forum for information exchange, whether that be contract opportunities, Contractor details or Recruiter profiles. However, we aim to do this in a manner that does not mis-use the information provided to the Website. Personal contact details are therefore only available to users who register with the Website, as outlined below.

How we use the information you provide to the Website

We use the information you provide to:

• verify your identity
• administer your account(s) with us
• provide our services to you and to communicate with you generally
• send you information about our products and services
• (on an anonymous basis) create statistics for our own purposes or those of selected third parties
• deliver the services that the Website is intended to deliver. Services to Recruiters include paid- for searching of our Contractor database. The purpose of this search is to enable Recruiters to identify suitable candidates for contract positions. On that basis Recruiters will seek to contact Contractors who register with the Website. Contractors should ensure that their registration information is up-to-date to help maintain the quality of these communications.

Contractors who do not wish to register with the Website can still search for contracts, but they will not enjoy the benefits of the full range of our services. Contractors who wish to deregister may do so with immediate effect. The database will archive their details.

Except as provided in this policy, we will not provide your information to third parties without your express consent.
