- Staff information;
- Information received in relation to absences from work due to leave, illness or other causes; or

The personal information we collect may be held in our filing system &/or on our computerised database for the purpose of finding candidates suitable employment; staff management; training; client and business relationship management and marketing.
We may disclose this information for the purposes for which it is primarily held or for a related secondary purpose. We may disclose personal information where we are under a legal duty to do so, to any person with a lawful entitlement to obtain the information. Personal information collected will not be sold, rented or licensed to any other person for marketing purposes.
We undertake all reasonable measures to ensure that the information we subsequently disclose to a third party is accurate, complete and up to date, prior to disclosure. Unauthorised access to our database is strictly prohibited and it is password protected to ensure all personal information is secure. Whilst we employ Anti-Virus software, we cannot 100% guarantee the security or accuracy of data transmitted over the Internet as it may become scrambled, truncated or altered in its transmission via a virus infection or other abnormality.
From time to time we may contract out services and contractors may see some personal information. Typically our contractors may include I.T. / database design contractors or our Internet Service Provider.
When personal information is no longer required by us, we will destroy it in a manner that protects the privacy of our candidates/employees. Likewise, candidates at any time have the option of requesting any of their personal information be updated, corrected or deleted from our files/database by contacting our Privacy Policy Co-ordinator via any method as detailed above. A password allocated at the time of registration will be required to access personal information. There are some exceptions to accessible personal information as set out in the National Privacy Principles (Principle 6 Access & Correction) and would include any interference with the privacy rights of others or confidentiality breaches that attaches to specific information. A moderate charge may be imposed in providing access that can be discussed with the Privacy Co-Ordinator. A little time should also be allowed for the processing of any request.
