PRIVACY POLICY

 

 

This privacy policy sets out how A for Appointments uses and protects any information that you give A for Appointments when you use this website.

 

A for Appointments is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.  Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.  A for Appointments is committed to privacy for everyone who accesses the site.  Under the Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we must comply with certain regulations which are designed to ensure that any data you provide to us is processed with due care and attention.

 

A for Appointments collects personal data about you to help in the recruitment process.  This data consists of information such as, but not exclusively, your name, address, e-mail address, work and education history and the results of tests and assessments administered through the site.  In addition, we record your nationality, which we are required to collect by law.  At times we may collect cumulative information to enable us to better understand the users of our website, but which will not contain personally identifiable information.

 

We only allow access to your personal data to our staff and any prospective employers for the recruitment process, as detailed above.  We will also disclose your personal data if we believe, in good faith, that we are required by law to disclose it in connection with the detection of a crime, the collection of taxes or duties, in order to comply with any applicable law, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with legal proceedings.

 

We are required by law to hold your personal data for as long as is necessary to comply with our statutory and contractual obligations and in accordance with our legitimate interests as a data controller.  We will use reasonable means to ensure that your personal data is maintained and up to date.  However, you are under a duty to inform us of any, and all, changes to your personal data to ensure that it is up to date from which we will update or delete your personal data accordingly.  If we have no contact with you, then following the expiry of a reasonable period, which we consider appropriate, we will archive or delete your details.  If you feel A for Appointments are not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you should first contact senior management at the registered office or via the website.

 

We reserve the right to transfer information, including your personal data, to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of our company provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of the privacy policy and provided that the third party only uses your personal data for the purposes for which you provided it to us.  You will be notified in the event of any such transfer and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt-out.
