Protecting the security of your information
We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. A number of safety measures are in place to protect your information. All our staff are bound by a confidentiality agreement regarding company and customer information. Visitors to our premises are always accompanied by a member of staff for the duration of the visit – only those who are so authorised will be able to access the private information. We use secure methods to destroy or de-identify personal information as soon as the law permits, provided that the information is no longer needed by us. When you advise us that you are no longer looking for work opportunities and therefore do not wish to be registered with us, we will de-identify your data base record and destroy your personal information, unless you advise us otherwise or unless it is a requirement by law such as retained tax/wages information.
