Net Resources International

At Net Resources International we are dedicated to safeguarding and preserving your privacy when visiting our site, providing services to you or communicating electronically with us.

This Privacy Policy, together with our terms of use, provides an explanation as to what happens to any personal data that you provide to us, or that we collect from you.

This Policy is updated from time to time so please review this Policy regularly.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data controller is Progressive Media Publishing Limited.

Progressive Media Publishing Limited is subject to the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and is registered in the UK with the Information Commissioner to process your personal information.

The Protection Of Your CV

We regard your CV as a very personal document and we wish you to have full control over who can view it and whether you wish to have your personal details such as name, address, telephone and email addresses visible to recruiters.

Industryappointments.com gives you the opportunity to submit your CV into a searchable database which will help greatly in your search for employment. Our system gives you the choice in the level of confidentiality that you believe is appropriate.

It is your choice to determine the level by which your CV is searchable by industryappointments.com customers. Allowing your CV to be searchable by employers will greatly increase your chances of finding suitable employment, however should you not wish this to be the case you can select your CV to be hidden from the CV database during the registration process. You will be asked upon registration whether you wish to have your details included in the general database. By choosing not to add your CV to the general database will mean recruiters do not have access to it but will mean you gain access to it and can use it when applying for individual jobs.

You may remove your CV from our searchable database at any time. However recruiters who have paid for access to the database may have retained a copy of your CV in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of your CV by recruiters in these instances.

Should you submit your CV to put in our database, then you will be providing us with personal data which we will use in accordance with this statement. We strongly suggest that your CV should not contain data relating to your (i) racial or ethnic origin (ii) political beliefs (iii) philosophical or religious beliefs (iv) membership of a trade union or a political party (v) physical or mental health (vi) sexual life or (vii) the commission or criminal offences or proceedings. If your CV does contain such data, then you agree that we may retain this information and use it in accordance with this statement.

You should be aware that if you have a rare skill, it may still be possible for a recruiter to identify you even without your contact details being included on your CV. If you are worried about being identified, you should not include specific skills or details by which you could be identified.

Should you provide us with details of a referee within your CV, it is your responsibility to inform that person that you have forwarded their details and that they have consented in writing for you to do so.

Jobs By Email

The Jobs By Email service matches a job seeker’s requirements for employment with the profile of vacancies advertised on industryappointments.com. Job seekers that subscribe to this service will receive job alerts which we believe will be of interest for you.

Your job alerts are defined by the areas of interest which you have stated within your registration. You can change these areas of interest or unsubscribe at any time.

Security

Progressive Media Publishing Ltd has implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. You can gain access to your information on your industryappointments.com account and the information stored there by supplying an email address and password. You must ensure that this information is kept secret.

Notwithstanding such measures the internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use personal information for improper purposes. You should also be aware that the CVs you complete at your current place of work may be monitored by your current employers.
