About this policy

Welcome to our Privacy Policy. This policy should help you understand; who we are, how you can contact us, what personal data we collect from you, how and why we do it and also inform you of your privacy rights.

We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years old has been collected we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to promptly delete such data from our records.

If you choose to set your profile visibility to public, your profile will enter the JobFairy candidate pool. This will enable our customers (i.e. Employers who are registered users of JobFairy) to view your profile and give them the ability to send you an invitation to apply for an open role with their company. Please refer to the section ‘Job Fairy Candidate pool’ later in this document for more information. The employer will not be able to see the phone number on your profile unless you apply for a role with them.

By using JobFairy you acknowledge the collection of your personal data as outlined in this policy. This Privacy policy should be read in parallel with our Terms of Use. This version of the Privacy policy was last updated on 17 November 2021

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or wish to exercise your legal rights, email us at gdpr@jobfairy.co

Do we transfer your data internationally?

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• for certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the European Union;
• For certain service providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them under the Privacy Shield regime (if they are part of it) which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

We will only keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. The personal information provided by the user at the registration stage and on completion of the user’s personal profile will be automatically saved and retained for as long as the account remains active. The user has complete control over the personal information contained in the user profile. The latter can be updated, and/or removed at any time. For that reason, we trust that user information provided is accurate and up-to-date.

If your account has been inactive for a period of twenty four months and there has been no engagement with you, we will contact you. If you do not respond or confirm that you want to have your account removed, we will delete your account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How you can review, update or delete the data we collect.

You can log in at any stage to your account and amend, update or delete your data. Your profile is a live profile, so any update you make to it will be shared with employers you have applied to or whose candidate pool you have joined. You are responsible for keeping your account up to date. If you have difficulty with any of this please contact us at gdpr@jobfairy.co.

If you are in the JobFairy candidate pool, registered customers of ours (Employers) can invite you to apply for Open roles in their companies. They will be able to search our pool by various filters and thus may view your profile and invite you to apply.
