Privacy Policy of WorkWise Talent Community
WorkWise Talent Community is committed to protecting your privacy. We have developed this Privacy Policy to explain our practices in processing your data when you visit our Site or use the services provided by us. We’ve taken your personal privacy into consideration from the start throughout the process of designing, developing, and delivering our service.
What data do we collect from you?
We may collect Data from you including your name, job title, company, address, telephone and mobile numbers, e-mail address, country of residence, gender as well as any information about you that is associated with, or linked to any other Data that helps us to provide you with a more personal and relevant experience.
If you provide WorkWise Talent Community with your Data, it will help us to deliver to you the services which you have requested. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features that you can use on our Site. We will collect your contact information and we will note your career interests so as to provide you with a better service and enrich your experience when you visit our Site.
How does WorkWise Talent Community collect your data?
We collect Data from you when you register on our Portal, when you complete your Profile and when you complete your Career Profile. We also collect other types of Data which may be considered personal that you provide to us voluntarily when, for instance, you respond to companies’ surveys and questionnaires, job assessments, competitions, forums, professional networking activities or other offers.
How will WorkWise Talent Community use your data?
We may use your data for the following purposes:
- to provide you with the services you have requested and to communicate with you about those services;
- to deliver the daily operation of the content and services provided to you;
You will always be able to unsubscribe or opt-out of using this service at any time.
We may also be required to disclose your Data to law enforcement authorities or government entities that are binding on WorkWise Talent Community. For instance, for the prevention and detection of crime, the capture or prosecution of offenders and the assessment or collection of tax or duty. WorkWise reserves the right to comply with all legal requirements, in its sole discretion.
Will other companies see Jobseekers data?
Yes. We make Jobseekers Data available to Employers and Recruiters who are seeking candidates for employment or seeking candidates to form their own talent pipelines.
Employers and Recruiters need to process your data in order to fulfil your request, such as, to deliver communications regarding career opportunities, electronic newsletters and related messages. But they are required, under an agreement, not to use Jobseekers Data other than to provide them with recruitment and employment services.
Before we accept our Employers and Recruiters, they must satisfy us that they match our stringent processes to ensure the security of Jobseekers data, whilst it is in their care. We regularly monitor them to ensure consistency of service and security.
In addition, if Jobseekers choose to receive certain content we make available or participate in any of our online conferences or events, we may share your Data with the co-organizers and partners, content providers and related vendors in connection with such content and programs.
You understand that the level of data protection in countries outside of Jamaica may not be equal to the level of data protection under the Data Protection Act of Jamaica and that WorkWise Talent Community will take appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of protection is provided when transferring data internationally.
Jobseekers expressly consent to the disclosure of your Data with Employers and Recruiters for the purposes of providing these services to you.
How do we keep your Data safe?
Wherever your Data is processed, WorkWise Talent Community will take the utmost care in keeping your data secure. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and procedures to help protect your Data from unauthorised access or disclosure. We store data behind a firewall, which is a barrier designed to prevent outsiders from accessing our servers. Even though WorkWise Talent Community takes significant steps to ensure that your Data is not intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorised persons, you should know that we cannot eliminate security risks entirely particularly where the internet is concerned. Nevertheless, rest assured, we take particular care with regard to the protection of your Data.
How long do we keep your Data?
Your Data will only be retained by WorkWise Talent Community for as long as is legitimately necessary for the continuation of our offering to you, or as prescribed by appropriate legislation.
