Financial Times Recruitment Solutions Privacy Policy
Financial Times takes the privacy of our users seriously. This policy explains our
data processing practices in relation to the Financial Times Recruitment Solutions
sites only, which are exec-appointments.com, non-execs.com and mba-direct.com, collectively
the FTRS Sites. This statement is supplemental to the general Financial Times Privacy
Policy (FT Policy), which should also be referred to and is available here
http://www.ft.com/servicestools/help/privacy.
The Data Controller of the FTRS Sites is The Financial Times Limited (FT or Us).
Please refer to the FT Policy.
Information Collected
We collect personal information about you (Data) when you register with, or create
a profile on one of the FTRS sites, so that we can provide you with services that
they offer. We may also collect information automatically about your use of FTRS
Sites through cookies and other devices. Please refer to the
FT Policy.
The Data we collect may include: name, address, country of residence, email address,
telephone number(s), nationality, details of your education and working career,
salary expectations, eligibility to work in certain countries, personal interests,
details of how you use the jobs websites (including the criteria which you use to
set up your job searches, email alerts) and any additional details you provide when
applying for a job.
Use and Disclosure of Your Data
The use and disclosure of your Data will depend on the FTRS Sites’ services that
you use.
Job Application Service
In order to apply for jobs, receive job alert emails or to save job searches or
shortlists, you will be required to register or become a member. The Data you provide
at registration, as well as the saved job searches and job alert emails you create,
may be used to provide you with information about other relevant jobs and services,
and by FT for aggregated statistical analysis.
When you apply for jobs through the FTRS Sites, you will be required to provide
relevant Data, your CV and an optional covering letter or message (Job Application).
Your Job Application is forwarded directly to the advertiser of the job that you
are applying for (Recruiters), and will also be held on our systems for as long
as reasonably necessary i.e. in the event that a submission has failed and it needs
to be resent to the Recruiter. Recruiters may include agencies who may pass your
information to companies that are recruiting in employment field(s) relevant to
your interests. We ask all Recruiters to use the information you provide only for
the purposes of recruitment, to hold the information securely and for no longer
than reasonably necessary. However, we are not able to control the use and storage
of your information by Recruiters.
If the Recruiter of any jobs you apply for is based outside EEA this will involve
a transfer of your Data outside EEA. You should not apply to these advertisements
unless you consent to this transfer. Applications that are made through Recruiters’
or other external websites will be processed by those 3rd parties, and therefore
your information will be subject to their privacy policies.
Executive Profile and Match Service
The FTRS sites provide the option for you to create a personal Executive Profile,
and to control access to it through various settings. Profile information includes
anything that you provide in the relevant information fields, which varies depending
on which FTRS site you use.
Each FTRS Site offers a Match Service which allows authorised Recruiters to search
its Profile Database for profile information that meets their search criteria. Whether
your profile is included in the searchable Profile Database will depend on your
chosen settings.
exec-appointments.com and mba-direct.com
If you choose to make your profile Public as part of the execprofiles service on
exec-appointments.com, the public description you provide will be fully visible
on the web and authorised Recruiters will also be able to access and download your
profile information and full contact details through the Match Service. If you choose
to keep your profile Confidential, only your public description will be viewable
on the web and you will be asked to grant permission to release your profile and
contact details to authorised Recruiters on a case-by-case basis.
On mba-direct.com, if you choose to make your profile Public it will be viewable
to authorised Recruiters. You also have the option to keep it confidential so that
Recruiters are not able to view any of your profile. In both instances Recruiters
may contact you via the site’s email service, although this does not disclose your
name and contact details.
If you choose to keep your profile in Draft, it will not be visible to Recruiters
or matched in search results.
non-execs.com
When you become a member of the Financial Times Non Executives
Directors’ Club, you will be able to create an Executive Profile with the option
to attach your CV. If you decide to make your CV and profile information Public
this will allow Authorised Recruiters to access and download your profile information
and full contact details through the Register Search Service. FTRS will also provide
you with details of jobs that match your profile either as a result of FTRS marketplace
research, or at the request of authorised Recruiters using the Register Search Service.
If you choose to make your profile Confidential, your profile and CV will not be
disclosed to non-execs.com Recruiters without your specific permission. If you keep
your profile in draft and do not publish it, it will not be matched by any Register
searches.
We request Recruiters not to hold your information for longer than necessary and
not to use your information for purposes other than recruitment. However we are
not able to control the storage of your CV or profile information by Recruiters.
Control of Your Data
If you wish to change your privacy settings you can do so at any time by visiting
"My Account" on exec-appointments.com, "Your Executive Profile" on non-execs.com
or "Your Profile" on mba-direct.com.
If you choose to delete your profile details and/ or CV we will not retain a copy
of it on our database. However your basic details (name, email, password and citizenship),
along with your log-in access, will be retained should you wish to create another
profile in the future. If you wish to de-register your account with us, please contact
info@exec-appointments.com.
