Privacy policy
This web site is operated by MyGoli as described below. MyGoli is
committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We strive to provide a safe, secure
user experience. The aim of this Statement is to inform you how we will use any
personal data which you provide through this web site and does not apply to information
we collect in any other fashion. This Statement is aimed at job seekers and employers.
MyGoli complies with data protection legislation. This regulates the processing
of information relating to you and grants you various rights in respect of your
personal data. Our sites contain links to other web sites over which we have no
control. MyGoli is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices
of other web sites to which you choose to link from this site. We encourage you
to review the privacy policies of those other web sites so you can understand how
they collect, use and share your information. This Privacy Statement applies solely
to the information we collect on this web site and does not apply to information
we collect in any other fashion.
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 web site, MyGoli requests that you provide personal
data, including your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card
number, contact information, billing information and other information from which
your identity is discernible. In other areas of our web site, MyGoli 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 MyGoli account, sign up to use a service,
post a CV, enter a contest or purchase a product. In each case, it is indicated
on the web site whether any data must be provided to use the required service or
not.
In addition, MyGoli may indirectly collect information about you when you
use certain third party services on our web site. For example, if you register on
our site by using your Microsoft Passport user name and password, you authorise
us to have access to and store the information in your Passport account profile;
such information will be subject to, and treated in accordance with, the policies
and practices described in this Statement.
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 MyGoli. 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, behavioural,
preferential and/or life style 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.
If you use our facilities to build a CV to put in our database of jobseekers’ CVs,
then you will be providing us with personal data which we will use in accordance
with this Statement. We strongly suggest that your CV should not contain data relating
to your (i) racial or ethnic origin (ii) political beliefs (iii) philosophical or
religious beliefs (iv) membership of a trade union or political party (v) physical
or mental health (vi) sexual life or (vii) the commission of criminal offences or
proceedings. If your CV does contain such data, then you agree that we may retain
this information and use it in accordance with this Statement.
Posting to Public Areas of MyGoli
Please remember that if you post any of your personal information in public areas
of MyGoli, such as in online forums or chat rooms, or in the searchable CV database,
such information may be collected and used by others over whom MyGoli 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 MyGoli.
Use of Your Information by MyGoli
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 MyGoli 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
MyGoli opportunities and additional listings which may be of interest to
you. In addition, at the time of registration for MyGoli, you have the option to
elect to receive additional communications, information and promotions including,
without limitation, free informational newsletters from MyGoli 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
MyGoli 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 do not disclose to third parties your personal information, combined personal
and demographic information or information about your use of the web site (such
as the areas you visit or the services you access), except as set forth below.
1. We may disclose such information to third parties if you consent to such disclosure.
For example, if you make your CV searchable, then all parties with access to our
searchable CV database (or copies thereof) will have access to that database. You
may make your CV unsearchable at any time.
2. 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. The functions performed on our behalf
include hosting our web servers, analysing data, providing marketing assistance,
processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These companies
and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform
their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party
or use that data for any other purpose. We will retain control of and be responsible
for any information shared in this way.
3. We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to
do so by a governmental entity or regulatory authority or if we believe in good
faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply
with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of MyGoli or its affiliated
companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the
personal safety of users or the public.
4. We may disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all
or a substantial portion of MyGoli`s 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 MyGoli becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding,
whether voluntary or involuntary, MyGoli or its liquidator, administrator,
receiver or administrative receiver may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such
information in a transaction approved by the court. You will be notified of sale
of all or a substantial portion of our business to a third party by email or through
a prominent notice posted on the MyGoli site.
Other Uses of Information
MyGoli may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to
its web sites with its clients, partners and other third parties so that they may
understand the kinds of visitors to MyGoli`s site and how those visitors use the
site.
MyGoli supplies technology, hosting and related services to other leading
companies to power recruitment areas on their web sites (sometimes referred to as
" hosted career sites"). Personal and/or demographic information supplied by you
in hosted career site areas becomes part of the MyGoli CV database, but it
is not accessible by anyone other than you, MyGoli and the company concerned
without your consent. However, if you attempt to register with MyGoli after
registering with a hosted career site, MyGoli will recognise your account
details and you will be able to retrieve the information already provided by you
in your MyGoli account registration with the hosted career site.
Information gathered on a page in a hosted career site area or on a co-branded page
may be retained by both MyGoli and the other company. In that instance, the
use of such information by the other company may be subject to the privacy policy
of that company and, in any event, MyGoli is not responsible for that company`s
use of your personal or demographic information.
If you apply for a position through a hosted career site or a co-branded site, you
may be asked to provide information on your age, gender or race where permitted
by law. You should understand that, if provided, this information should only be
used by employers in accordance with applicable law. However, MyGoli is not
responsible for the actions of such employers. All such information provided will
be kept separate by MyGoli from your expression of interest in any job opportunity.
Providing this information is strictly voluntary and you will not be subject to
any adverse action or treatment from MyGoli if you choose not to provide
this information.
Your personal data will be stored and processed on computers in the United States
as described below. The information we gather on any MyGoli web site may
be shared within the MyGoli group of companies on a worldwide basis in order
to deliver the products and services we offer to employers such as assisted searches
for jobseekers or in order to undertake analysis of our database such as aggregated
profiling of our registered users. The MyGoli network is detailed on the
homepage of MyGoli.com.
Furthermore, some of the employers or employment agencies that are interested in
your CV may be located outside of the European Economic Area on a worldwide basis.
Such countries may not have equivalent data protection legislation protecting the
use of your personal data. We will not send your personal data to these employers
in these countries unless you have indicated that you would like your CV to be searchable.
By providing this indication, you expressly consent to such transfers of data occurring.
CVs
Since MyGoli is a career site, we give you the option of putting your CV
in our database. There are two ways of doing this:
1. You can store your CV in our database, but not allow it to be searchable by potential
employers. Not allowing your CV to be searchable means that you can use it to apply
for a job online, but employers and recruiters will not have access to search it
through our CV database product.
2. If you allow your CV to be searchable, then all parties with access to our searchable
CV database (or copies thereof) will have access to your CV. You can also allow
your CV to be searchable but remove your contact details. However, you should be
aware that in this situation if you have a rare skill, it may still be possible
for a recruiter to identify you even without your contact details being included.
If you are worried about being identified, you should not include specific skill
or details by which you could be identified.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable CV database (or copies thereof) only
to paying employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters and human resource
professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot
guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible
for the use made of CVs by third parties who access such CVs while they are in our
searchable database. You may remove your CV from our searchable database at any
time, details of how to do this are given below. However, employers, recruiters
and others who have paid for access to that database or to obtain a copy of that
database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database may
have retained a copy of your CV in their own files or databases. We are not responsible
for the retention, use or privacy of CVs or profiles in these instances.
If you provide us with details of a referee, it is your responsibility to ensure
that the person is aware that you have forwarded his/her details and has consented
in writing for you to do so.
Use of Web Beacons / Javascript
MyGoli 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 MyGoli; 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 are not permitted to use web beacons on the MyGoli sites.
MyGoli also may use JavaScript. JavaScript is a script language that enhaces
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 or change your MyGoli account profile information
or CV at any time. Simply log into your MyGoli account, go to your Account
Profile or CV, review your account information or CV and, if you wish, edit it with
the options provided. You may also delete your CV through this method.
If you wish to delete your MyGoli account profile information at any time,
please contact us at
userservices@mygoli.com.
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
userservices@mygoli.com. However, please
note that if you do withdraw your consent, you may not be able to use the relevant
services and your My MyGoli account profile information will be deleted.
If you opted to receive newsletters, commercial e-mails or other communications
from MyGoli or third parties at the time you registered with MyGoli, 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 MyGoli and
may correct, update or delete such information by contacting us at
userservices@mygoli.com.
Since we believe that managing your career is a life-long process, we retain all
the information we gather about you in an effort to make your repeat use with us
more efficient, practical and relevant until you change or remove your personal
data as detailed above. If you are a job seeker and have not logged onto the web
site for 18 months, then we will automatically make your CV unsearchable. Of course,
you can correct or update your MyGoli account profile and CV at any time.
Moreover, you can delete your CV from MyGoli`s online database or close your MyGoli
account at any time. If you do this, we will remove all our copies of your CV or
MyGoli account profile information except for an archival copy retained indefinitely
for audit and records purposes which is not accessible by you or third parties on
the Internet. Details of how to do this are set out above.
Security
MyGoli 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 MyGolis’ servers) and
all traffic which is internal to the MyGoli network (such as billing information
and MyGoli’s 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. You should be aware that CV’s you complete at your current place
of work may be monitored by your current employer.
Children
MyGoli is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly
collect personal information from children under 16.
Changes to Privacy Statement
If we decide to change the substance of our Privacy Statement for MyGoli, we will
post those changes through a prominent notice on the web site so that you will always
know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom
we will disclose it. If at any time, you have questions or concerns about MyGoli`s
Privacy Statement, please feel free to email us at info@MyGoli.com.
Use of Cookies Statement
MyGoli 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 MyGoli 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 MyGoli 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 which identifies your CV, covering letter, 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 MyGoli 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 Site 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.
Thank you for using MyGoli.
Update effective February 2007
