Jigsaw Search & Selection Ltd is committed to respecting your privacy and recognises your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (any information by which you can be identified, such as name, address, and telephone number).  That is why we have established this privacy policy, so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your information.

To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:

The Data Protection Act 1998
Jigsaw Search & Selection Limited is registered as a data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998. We ensure that the data you supply to us is processed with skill and care and in accordance with the legislation and codes.

We will collect your Personal Data in order to facilitate the recruitment process. This data will include the information you supply to us on your CV (which would include, for example, name, address, date of birth, qualifications). We may collect this data in the aggregate and share it with selected third parties to help us understand our users better. You consent to us using the information provided by you (including, without limitation, sensitive personal data) in each of these ways.

We only allow access to your Personal Data to our staff and any prospective employers or clients. We take our responsibilities in respect of your Personal Data extremely seriously.

We are required by law to hold your Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data for as long as is necessary to comply with our statutory obligations. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data is maintained and up to date. You are under a duty to inform us of any and all changes to your Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data to ensure that it is up to date.

If we have no contact with you then following the expiry of a period as we consider appropriate we will archive for file or may delete it.

Site Traffic Analysis
We may monitor and track traffic to and from our site, including the Internet domains and web sites from which visitors arrive at our site, what pages they access on our site and where they navigate to after visiting our site. From time to time we may analyse this data for trends and statistics so that we may redesign our own facilities and optimise the experience on our site.

Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your hard drive by the Web browser, sent from Jigsaw Search & Selection. While we try to minimise the use of cookies, we do use them for remembering user names, passwords and preferences, tracking click streams and for load balancing. By using cookies, we can deliver a faster, more efficient and personalised service. You do have the option of rejecting cookies through your browser, which Jigsaw Search & Selection would recommend when using a shared computer or computer with multiple access.

Children
We do not specifically collect information regarding children. Children should get consent from parents, guardian or teacher before giving out personal information. If concerned about a child’s use of Jigsaw Search & Selection’s website, we would advise the use of Web filtering techniques or personal supervision of site usage.

Consent
You consent to us processing your information for the purposes of providing you with our services and maintaining our records. You also consent to your data being disclosed to any person, firm or company to whom we sell the whole or a substantial part of our business or to whom we may transfer any part of our rights or obligations.

Links
Certain links contained within this website may lead to external servers and sites which are maintained by third parties unconnected to Jigsaw Search & Selection, over which we have no control. We can accept no responsibility or liability in respect of any material contained within those sites or servers.

Transferring Data
Processing may take place via electronic means using the Internet and may involve transfer overseas to countries outside the European Economic Area, which do not have equivalent laws relating to data protection.

Damages
To the extent permitted by law, we do not accept liability for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for any consequential loss or loss of business opportunities, or loss of profits) howsoever arising and whether in contract, tort or otherwise from the use of or inability to use the site or its contents, or from any action or omission taken as a result of using the site or its contents.

Viruses
We are unable to offer any guarantee that the contents of the site are free from viruses or similar which have destructive or contaminating properties and shall therefore have no liability in respect thereof. We regularly check the site for viruses using the leading proprietary virus checking software.

Third Parties
At present, the option of storing candidates CV's within our database exists, and at this time no option exists for third parties to access this database. If a decision is made to change this aspect of the site then we will seek your consent first. While all reasonable security measures have been implemented, we are unable to accept responsibility for intrusion by third parties acting illegally.

Information Access
Any information sent via the Jigsaw Search & Selection website or by e-mail will only be read by Jigsaw Search & Selection staff. As with any information sent to Jigsaw Search & Selection, documents will be treated in the strictest confidence and will not be passed on to any further parties without the originators prior consent.

Equal Opportunities
Jigsaw Search & Selection’s equal opportunities policy, for itself and its subsidiaries, is based on the principle that no element in a persons working life (e.g. recruitment, training, development or conditions of employment), should be influenced by considerations of sex, race, disability, marital status, religion or any other condition other than that person's suitability and that no-one is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable. All employees will be recruited, trained and developed using fair and consistent criteria, related to the requirements of the job.

The site has an area where you can submit feedback. Any feedback that is submitted through this area becomes the property of Jigsaw Search & Selection.  This information may be used for marketing purposes, or to contact you for further feedback on the site.

Continued use of the service will signify that you consent to any such changes. If, at any time you have questions or concerns about Jigsaw Search & Selection’s privacy policy, please email us at info@jigss.com. By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy (as amended from time to time).
