Privacy Statement

Collection and Retention of Information

You do not have to give us any personal information in order to perform job searches. In some areas of our website, uktemps requests that you provide personal data, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, contact information, billing information and other information from which your identity is discernible. In other areas of our website, uktemps collects or may collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your postcode, age, gender and the types of work in which you are interested. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information. Examples of areas on this site where we collect personal or combined personal and demographic data are pages where you can open a MyProfile account and sign up to use a service.

We also gather or may gather certain personal information about your use of our site, such as what areas you visit and what services you access. Moreover, there is information about your computer hardware and software that is or may be collected by uktemps. This information may include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses, but is not linked to your personal information.

We may sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide descriptive, cultural, behavioral, preferential and/or lifestyle information about yourself but it is solely up to you whether you furnish such information. If you do provide such information, you are thereby consenting to the use of that information in accordance with the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement. For example, such information may be used for the purpose of determining your potential interest in receiving e-mail or other communications about particular products or services.

Posting to Public Areas of Uktemps

Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public areas of uktemps, such as in online forums or chat rooms information may be collected and used by others over whom uktemps has no control. We are not responsible for the use made by third parties of information you post or otherwise make available in public areas of uktemps.

Use of Your Information by Uktemps

We use the information we gather on the web site whether personal, demographic, collective or technical, for the purposes of administering and managing your registration, responding to any queries you may have, operating and improving the web site, fostering a positive user experience and delivering the products and services that we offer to jobseekers and employers.

If you have so agreed when registering with uktemps or subsequently or if permitted by applicable law, we may use your contact information in order to send you e-mail or other communications regarding updates at the web site, such as new uktemps opportunities and additional listings which may be of interest to you. In addition, at the time of registration for MyProfile, you have the option to elect to receive additional communications, information and promotions including, without limitation, free informational newsletters from uktemps relating to topics that may be of special interest to you, such as career management advice. If you have so consented or if permitted by applicable law, we may also use the information we gather to inform you of other products or services available from uktemps or its affiliated companies (as defined below) or to contact you about your opinion of current products and services or potential new products and services that may be offered.

We have an area where you can contact us and submit feedback. We may use such feedback (such as success stories) for promotional purposes or to contact you for further information.

Disclosure of Information to Others

We may disclose such information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf including data processors and including companies and individuals located outside the European Economic Area.

  3. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of uktemps' business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event uktemps becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, uktemps or its liquidator, administrator, receiver or administrative receiver may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the court.

Use of Web Beacons/Javascript

Uktemps web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information on uktemps; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about our web site usage.

Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides.

Because web beacons are the same as any other content request included in the recipe page, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, they can be rendered ineffective by either opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setup in your browser. For details of how to do this see our Use of Cookies Statement below.

Third parties recruiters are not permitted to use web beacons on the uktemps sites.

Uktemps also may use JavaScript. JavaScript is a script language that enhances the functionality of websites, particularly in respect to pictures. We use JavaScript for example within certain advertisements. We are not collecting any personal data via JavaScript but use it to inform employers about the conversion rate of their job ads (.i.e. how many applicants have clicked on embedded email addresses). You may deactivate JavaScript via your browser settings or activate it the same way. If you disable JavaScript you will not be able to use some of the functions of the website.

Updating or Deleting Your Information

You may review, correct, update, delete or change your uktemps MyProfile information at any time. Simply log into uktemps, go to MyProfile, review your account information and, if you wish, edit it with the options provided. You may also delete your Profile via this method.

If you are having trouble deleting your uktemps MyProfile information at any time, please contact us at admin@uktemps.co.uk . An email will be sent to you to confirm that your information has been deleted (save for an archival copy which is not accessible by you or third parties on the Internet). The archival copy is retained indefinitely for audit and record purposes.

If you wish to revoke your consent to our Privacy Statement, please contact us at admin@uktemps.co.uk . However, please note that if you do withdraw your consent, you may not be able to use the relevant services and your uktemps MyProfile information will be deleted.

If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications from uktemps or third parties at the time you registered with uktemps, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt-out by editing your Account Profile as described above. If you previously opted not to receive such communications, you may later opt-in by editing your Account Profile.

You may access all your personal data stored and processed by uktemps and may correct, update or delete such information by contacting us at admin@uktemps.co.uk.

Security

Uktemps has implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure. In particular, all account and password data is encrypted (i.e. it is scrambled between your computer and uktemps' servers) and all traffic which is internal to the uktemps network (such as billing information and uktemps' access to our database) is also encrypted. Notwithstanding such measures, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.

Children

Uktemps is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

Use of Cookies Statement

Uktemps uses "cookies" to help personalise and maximise your online experience and time online. A cookie is a text file that is either stored in your computer's memory temporarily (a "session" cookie) or placed on your hard drive (a "persistent" cookie) by a web page server. Cookies are not used to run programmes or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and your computer and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. When you return to the uktemps site, cookies enable us to retrieve the information you previously provided, so you can easily use the features that you customised. For example, if you personalise uktemps pages, or register for services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information (such as user name, password and preferences).

We predominately use "session" cookies which are not stored on your hard drive. Session cookies expire after two hours of inactivity or when you close your browser. Because of our use of cookies, we can deliver faster and more accurate results and a more personalised site experience. When you carry out a job search or apply online a large amount of data is processed by our system and transferred through each page of the search or application process. This information includes your job search criteria, data, covering email, the job you are applying for, your right to work in the relevant country and the results of any questionnaire you have completed as part of the online application process as well as demographic information that is not unique to you. "Session" cookies allow us to keep track of this data until you have completed your search or application. We also use cookies to identify users who have been banned from using our forums for behaviour which contradicts our terms of use and to track click streams, for load balancing and to enable you to navigate through the site using redirection pages.

We use "persistent" cookies primarily to ensure that we do not show you pages that you have already seen and to personalise your site experience and save you time. "Persistent" Cookies enable us to recognise whether you have responded to any poll or seen an advertisement or information notice placed on the site so that we do not show you the poll, advertisement or notice again the next time you visit our site. If you have an alliance arrangement in place with uktemps we also use "persistent" cookies to recall your alliance status and display your correct pricing information when you access our site. If you register on our site by using your Microsoft Passport user name and password a "persistent" cookie allows us to access and store information in your Passport account profile so you can login to our site faster. This information is treated in accordance with the policies and practices described in our Privacy Statement above. The "persistent" cookies we use will remain on your computer after you have left our site and will expire when you log out of the website or 60 days after your last visit for security cookies, 90 days after your last visit for poll response and alliance cookies, one year after your last visit for Microsoft passport user cookies or two years after your last visit for advertisement and information notice cookies.

We also use persistent third party cookies as part of online advertising campaigns to determine and track site traffic landing from uktemps' advertising banners that have been placed on the websites of third parties. The data collected via these cookies is anonymous and the information is not personal identifiable. The "persistent" cookies placed by our third party ad servers will remain on your computer after you have left our site for up to 20 years. You will find additional information about our third party ad servers at www2.doubleclick.com/uk/privacyand www.atlassolutions.com/privacy.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
