This policy sets out how we use and protect Personal Information we collect about you when you use this website. “Personal Data” is any information that identifies you or that can be linked to you. You are not under any statutory or contractual obligation to provide us with Personal Data.
Getwork is the trading name of Getwork Global, Inc, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adzuna Ltd, a privately-owned UK company.
Personal Data you provide Getwork
We may hold any information you provide to us including your email address, user account details, and saved jobs. We may also store details of your job applications, job search history and standard browsing data (including for example IP address, referring websites, browser software and operating system).
Personal Data from third-party websites
Getwork may also be provided with information when you sign up or apply for jobs with third-party websites. This information may relate to activity measurement (for example through the use of a tracking pixel). Your relationship with any third-party website is governed purely by your agreement with them.
Our use of Personal Data may include some or all of the following:
Consent
In certain cases, such as the delivery of job alerts by email, Getwork relies on your explicit (opt-in) consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by going to the Job Alerts page or clicking on the ‘Delete’ link within the email.
Legitimate Interest
Getwork will process your Personal Data where there is a legitimate interest. This may include, for example, emailing you about changes to our products or Terms & Conditions.
Performance of a contract
Getwork may hold contracts with third parties where Getwork is acting as a Data Processor. In these cases Getwork may have a contractual obligation to use your Personal Data in a way that you have consented to with the third party.
Compliance with a legal obligation
Legal obligations can arise where it is necessary for Getwork to process Personal Data. For example, Getwork may be required to retain records for certain periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.
Third party service providers
Getwork may use third-party service providers for operations and to help us protect our users. Examples of such providers include but are not limited to Google and Amazon Web Services. In these cases we may need to share your Personal Data with them. These third parties act as Data Processors for Getwork and can only process Personal Data for the purpose stated in our contract with them. They must also comply with all applicable data protection laws.
Advertisers
If you apply for a job directly through Getwork then we may send your Personal Data to the Advertiser. Advertisers agree to comply with our Terms & Conditions and all of their responsibilities under applicable data protection laws.
Some Personal Data we hold is transferred internationally to third parties to jurisdictions outside of the EEA or to countries and territories not covered by the UK’s current adequacy regulations. In this situation we ensure that the processing of Personal Data is safeguarded either through the inclusion of SSCs (standard contractual clauses) in our contract with the third parties, or through other contractual clauses authorised by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
If you do not use Getwork or interact with our services for a significant period of time, we will delete some or all of your Personal Data from our site. Our criteria for deletion is determined according to the frequency of interactions observed and the nature of the Personal Data.
Rights of Access, Data Portability and Rectification
The majority of your Personal Data can be viewed on Getwork’s website when you are signed in to your account. Here you can also edit and rectify any errors. You also have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your Personal Data please write to us at the address given below or use our online contact form.
Right to erasure
You can erase your Personal Data at any time. If you receive email alerts, you can delete these within your account or from the link within the emails. If you have an account with a password you can delete your Getwork account within the ‘Settings’ section of account.
Right to Object or Restrict Processing
If you wish to make a formal request to object to, or restrict, processing of your Personal Data then you can use our online contact form. Please provide us with the email address associated with your account. We may subsequently need to ask for copies of identification such as passport or driving licence.
