Plum Jobs - Privacy Policy

www.plumjobs.co.uk ("the Website") is a job site operated by Plum Jobs Advertising (Online) Limited.

This privacy policy explains how we use the personal information we collect about you when you use the Website, so please read it carefully.

If you register on the Website as a recruiter or course provider and provide us with personal data, we will process such personal data on the basis that it is necessary to do so in order to perform the contract you enter into with us.

Registration with and use of the Website for job and course seekers or use of our career advice is free. We will process your personal data on the basis set out below as it is in our legitimate interests to do so following your registration.

What Information do we collect about you?

We collect personal data about you when you register with the Website. We do so in order to provide you with the recruitment and course services that are available through the Website.

The personal data that we collect includes your name, email address and telephone number (optional for course seekers only). If you are a job seeker we will also ask for details of the kind of work you are looking for and your preferred work location. If you decide to upload a CV, cover letter, personal statement or other similar document or information we will keep that information for as long you want to keep your account with the Website.

If you register for career advice we only require your name and email address.

 

What do we do with your personal data?

By registering with the Website it is understood that work seekers are actively soliciting contact from prospective employers and recruiters about opportunities which match the work seekers’ fields of interest. If you are a job seeker we will therefore make your personal data available to recruiters and employers who use the Website to find suitable employees for specific roles that they are seeking to fill.

Although the primary purpose of the Website is to allow job seekers, prospective employers and recruiters to find each other, job seekers have the ability to control the extent to which your personal data is shared with other recruiters and prospective employers through your job seeker account on the website here: www.plumjobs.co.uk/candidate/register

For job seekers, we will use your personal data to provide you with the recruitment services that we provide, to manage your account and to email you about recruitment services which, for job seekers, includes job alerts and emails about courses that are relevant to your fields of interest.

If you are registering with the Website because you have an interest in any courses advertised through it, your details will only be used to communicate with you about courses that are relevant to your fields of interest, to manage your account and to put you in touch with the relevant course providers.

If you register for career advice we will only communicate with you to provide career advice related content.

 

Marketing

In the event that you register on the Website as a work seeker we will only send you information which relates to our recruitment services.

In the event that you register on the Website solely for career advice, we will only send you information related to career advice and on how to access our other services if you want to make use of that advice.

If you consent to receive marketing material using your job seeker account you may change your mind at any time.

 

Data Sharing and Transfers

Your personal data is stored on our servers which are in the European Economic Area. If we share your personal data with any third party service provider in the course of providing you with our services, those third parties are required to process your data in accordance with contracts which comply with data protection legislation.

Access to your information and correction

We want to make sure that your information is accurate and up-to-date and will delete or amend any information that you think is inaccurate. Should you wish to delete your account please contact us via email: info@plumjobs.co.uk. Amendments to your account can be made online by signing in to your account here: www.plumjobs.co.uk/candidate/register

We aim to provide you with useful work-related services for the whole of your career. However, you have the right to close your account at any time and have us delete all of your personal information unless we are in the process of responding to any complaint that you make.
