Directtemping.com is determined to protect your privacy. It is very important to us that you should be able to use and enjoy the Website without having to compromise your privacy unacceptably.

Knowing something about our users is, however, necessary to ensure that our service is continually improved. We need to build an accurate picture of the needs and wishes of our users, and to be able to communicate with you. That enables us to offer a service that is relevant and truly interactive, which is what our users expect. It also helps us to maintain free-to-user access to much of the Website.

We answer your important questions

"What information do you collect about me?"

We automatically collect some data about our users' browsing actions and patterns. This is aggregate data and does not identify any individual.

Contact and other details you supply as part of the registration process are stored by us and used to provide you and employers with the information requested.

When you complete your Directtemping.com registration profile, including your CV, it can be made available for searching, viewing over the Internet and downloading by any direct recruiter, employment consultant or other person or organisation who requests CVs matching your profile to be sent to them. Directtemping.com does not verify the identity or the nature of the business of such organisations.

When you create a profile and upload a CV to our database, we rely on you to ensure that your details are kept up to date. You should update your CV at least every three months or when there are significant updates, especially your contact details.

We may also ask you to provide personal information on a voluntary basis in order to get a clearer picture of our users. It is then entirely up to you whether you are happy to give us this information. Clearly for the purposes of this site, the more information you choose to divulge will increase your opportunity of being selected for a relevant job posted onto the site.

"For what purposes do you collect and use this information?"

We use aggregated data (where no individual is identifiable) to help us improve our understanding of our users and their preferences. We use it to assist us in arranging relevant advertising, commercial opportunities and competitions, as well as ensuring the best editorial coverage. It also helps us develop the Website and audit its use.

The information about you as an identifiable individual, including contact details, may be used in the following ways:

• to conduct market research and other surveys.
• to draw to your attention commercial opportunities that may be of interest to you.
• to be shared with advertisers, trading partners and other commercial entities with whom we have or might have an association. We may also share the information that they obtain about their users, which may include you.

"How private are my details?"

Apart from other companies in the Keystone Employment Group LLP, we only share personal information about you with third parties whom we have selected carefully and with whom we have, or may have, a commercial relationship. Directtemping.com complies with the relevant legal requirements and takes all reasonable care to ensure that your information is secure and private and is only seen by responsible third parties. However we cannot be held responsible for the actions of any third party who receives or obtains access to the information, nor for any breach of security.

If you tell us that you do not want us to use your details, then data about your use of the Web Site would then only form part of aggregated statistics and would not be related to you as an individual.

You can view the information we have about you by accessing your profile at anytime on-line.

"What do I do if I am not happy for you to share information about me with others?"

You may not wish us to share personal details about you with third parties outside the Group, or to use your information in the other ways we have described in this Privacy Policy. You can e-mail admin@directtemping.com at any time to let us know of any objections you may have to how we use or disclose your data in the ways set out in this Privacy Policy. Your personal details may in any event be shared with third party organisations we have contracted to provide services to us, on an agency basis, which include processing data. We may also have to release information (which could include the contents of e-mail communications between any persons) because of a legal requirement on us or pursuant to a court order.
