We shall only use such Services having determined that they have implemented appropriate safeguards for the protection of your data and interests and that in doing so we meet the compliance requirements of Data Protection Legislation…

Job aggregation and third-party platforms

The inploi platform hosts a large number of jobs from all over the world. Many of these job advertisements will be received by us from third parties, in an effort to provide you with the widest range of available opportunities and to give you a more complete view of what jobs are available for you to apply for.

User redirect

If you elect to apply for a third-party job you may be redirected from inploi to the service that we have received the job from. You may be asked whether you wish to create an inploi profile before being redirected. If you elect not to create a profile by you will be redirected immediately. If you choose to create an inploi profile you will be redirected once you have done so]. Having left the inploi Services, your relationship with any third-party site will in any event be governed by their policies and terms of use.

Automated off-site applications

Sometimes when you use inploi to access a job with an application process that is hosted outside of our platform we may be able to submit an application on your behalf. If this is possible, we will, as far as possible, use the information you have provided to us to complete the application for you. Where more information is needed you will be prompted to enter this.

Third-party registration and CV submission

In some cases, it will be necessary to register on a third-party site before we are able to complete an application for you. In these instances, we will use the data you have shared with us to create an account on your behalf. We will either use the email address you provided to us (as updated by you) or we will create one for you. Where it is necessary to submit a CV file we may use data provided by you in a CV file that you have uploaded. Your subsequent relationship with any such third-party and the management of any data shared with them shall be governed by their Privacy Policy and any Terms of Use.

Third country data transfers

We utilise a number of cloud-based Services (including our servers) which may not be based in the country in which you are accessing the Services (or within the EU) and which may result in your data being transferred between various countries.

Countries in which we process or hold your data may have laws that are different to those of your own country and may not be regarded as providing protection to a standard deemed by the United Kingdom to be adequate. As far as is possible in these situations we undertake reasonable due diligence on the service provide concerned and will take steps to ensure that the processing of your data is safeguarded either through the inclusion of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office in our contract with the third parties or through negotiated terms and conditions that provide appropriate protection.

In some instances, we may have data that has not been obtained directly from Users via the Services. This includes data that we may have obtained via third-party platforms through which you have provided your information, for example in applying for job opportunities distributed to our partner network or where our roles have been ‘scraped’ by others and you have applied via their Services. We may extract your information and contact you where we have a reasonable belief, based on the source of such data and the context of its acquisition, that you would have an interest in the Services we provide, and we have determined that informing you about the Services taking into account balance of interests would not be detrimental to you. All communications will clearly show that they are from us, include our address and contact details, and contain a clear opt-out / unsubscribe option. We will only use such data where we have a legitimate business interest to do so, taking into account the balance of interests having regard to your privacy, and where we reasonably believe that you would not be surprised to receive communications from us.

We collect and process your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so. These lawful bases include:

  • Consent: where you have given your consent, generally by agreeing to be bound by our privacy policy and terms and having acknowledged that we have made available our cookies policy);
  • In the Performance of a Contract: to which you are a party (for example in our provision of the Services to you) or where inploi holds contracts with third parties where inploi is acting as a Data Processor. In these cases inploi may have a contractual obligation to use your Personal Data in a way that you have consented to with the third-party; and where we (or a third-party) have a Legitimate Interest to do so (provided this is not overridden by your rights/interests).
  • When otherwise in our legitimate interests: this may include processing in order to provide the Services, for instance, enabling Users to have their personal information stored with inploi facilitating the making of future job applications and use in other ways that the inploi site may facilitate to connect and communicate with Employers, to protect you, us and others from fraud or other threats; to enable us to administer and improve our business and customer relationships;
  • in compliance with laws that we are bound by and to pursue our legal interests, and in effecting transactions that affect the ownership of our or other businesses.

We may also process your data for direct marketing where doing so is in our legitimate interests as a provider of recruitment Service and we have considered that you may be interested in the job opportunities or other information that we provide to you.. In such instances you will at all times be able to request that we do not contact you by unsubscribing from any communications.

Where we rely on your consent to process your data you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time and where we rely on legitimate interests you have a right to object as detailed above.
