We understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who visits our website. This policy covers www.jobsnavigator.io and any associated pages (collectively "Our Site").
It also covers those who deal or interact with our Company and will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, in a way that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy is requested at the point you start using Our Website.
In this Policy the following terms shall have the following meanings:

This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of Our Site. Our Site may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the "GDPR" and now in UK Law as "The UKGDPR 2021") and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, "the Data Protection Legislation") as "any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier".
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 14.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner's Office or your local Citizens or Consumer Advice Bureau. If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office.
Depending upon your use of Our Site, we may collect and hold some or all of the personal and non-personal data set out below. We do not collect any 'special category' or 'sensitive' personal data or personal data relating to children or data relating to criminal convictions and/or offences.

Under current Data Protection Legislation, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. The table below describes how we may use your personal data, and our lawful bases for doing so:

We will usually only store or transfer your personal data within the UK. This means that it will be fully protected under the UK's Data Protection Legislation. We may occasionally store or transfer some data within the European Economic Area (EEA), which is fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation and UKGDPR to equivalent standards. If we transfer data outside the UK/EEA, we do so only using the same robust security standards.
The security of your personal data is essential to us. We take a number of important measures including: limiting access to personal data to those with a legitimate need to know; ensuring all parties are subject to duties of confidentiality; and maintaining procedures for dealing with data breaches, including notifying you and/or the ICO where we are legally required to do so.
We will not share any of your personal data with any third-parties, subject to the following exceptions:
In addition to your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, when you submit personal data via Our Site, you may be given options to restrict our use of your personal data. In particular, we aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data for direct marketing purposes, including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails.
If you are in the UK, you may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service ("TPS"), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service ("CTPS"), and the Mailing Preference Service ("MPS"). Please note these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications you have consented to receive from us.
You may access certain areas of Our Site without providing any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on Our Site you may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data. You may restrict our use of Cookies — see Part 13 for more information.
If you want to know what personal data we hold about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it. This is known as a "subject access request" and there is no fee for this request.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 14. We will respond to your subject access request within 14 days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. In some cases, where your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months.
