Introduction

We are committed to protecting your privacy, and keeping your personal or business information confidential and secure at all times.

Use of data

The Data Protection Act 1998 lays down principles for the use of data, and puts obligations on us as the users of personal information.

A key principle of the Act states that data must be used fairly and lawfully. To meet this obligation, we ensure that individuals, companies or organisations who register with this site are aware of how we intend to use certain information before they supply it. This enables them to make an informed decision whether to supply the information requested or not.

It is your responsibility to ensure that any information you give us is up to date. You may change the information that we hold about you, your company or organisation by logging in and visiting the appropriate Administration Area, where a number of options are available.

With your permission, we may use your data from time to time to provide you with information about us, or products and services which we think may interest you. You can withdraw this permission at any time by emailing us at admin@skilledpeople.com.

As a registered user of this site, you have the right to ask for a copy of any information that we hold about you, your company or organisation on our database. Requests for copies of any such information must be made in writing to the Data Protection Officer, Skilled People.com., Suite H, Ver House, London Road, Markyate, Herts., AL3 8JP

IP addresses and Cookies

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer the site, to identify your visits or to obtain broad demographic information.

Cookies are small files stored on a computer’s hard drive. They are generally harmless, and used to recognise a user in order to give that user a more consistent experience when revisiting a website.

The cookies we employ are only stored temporarily on your computer. They are removed when you leave the site. We will not use cookies to retrieve data from your computer, to obtain your e mail address or to obtain any other personal information. If we change our policy on the use of cookies we will advise you at that time.

Removal of information

If you wish to remove career details, a vacancy or an advertisement at any time, you can do so by logging in and visiting the appropriate Administration Area. Contact information will be retained to enable us to update you on activities and services on the site from time to time. We will, of course, remove this information if you expressly ask us to do so.

Loss of information

Whilst we have measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or theft of the information under our control, we accept no responsibility if you or any other person, company or organisation obtains access to personal information where there is no fraud, wilful default or negligence on our part.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage you, or anyone else, may suffer in connection with this site, including loss or damage due to viruses that may infect your computer equipment, software or data.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your registration details and password, and to control access to your computer to prevent unauthorised access. If you suspect that your password is being used by an unauthorised user, you should inform us immediately.

Secure payment

Any payment made to the company by credit or debit card will be handled by a recognised third party provider, such as Paypal. Your credit card details will not be disclosed to Skilled People.com or any other person or organisation.

Links to other sites

As part of our service to you, this website contains links to other websites. We do not accept responsibility for the privacy practices or content of these other websites, or the consequences of any relationship which may arise from you accessing them through this website.

We encourage you to read the privacy statements of every site you visit, particularly where personally identifiable information is collected, before making any commitment.

Notification of changes to this Privacy Policy

We will keep you advised about the information that we collect, how we intend to use it, and under what, if any, circumstances, we may disclose it.

In the unlikely event that we decide to make any fundamental changes to the use of data, we will give you the opportunity to review whether you wish to support these proposed changes

Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be posted in this section of our site, so you should check it for updates from time to time.
