PRIVACY POLICY (“POLICY”)
1. Introduction
Careers in Audit (the “Website”) is operated by Careersinaudit.com Ltd (“we”, “our, “us”). We take the privacy of our customers’ information very seriously. Please read this policy carefully, as it explains how and for what purposes we will use the information collected about you via the Website. If you have any queries about the policy, please email us and we will do our best to answer your questions.
2. Careers in Audit
We are an independent provider of a gateway service to those seeking or offering careers in the audit and audit-related sector. For those candidates who register with the service, the website provides a personal account that allows them to space to store details of their career.
Candidates who do not wish to register with the service can still search for jobs, each one selected to match their search criteria.
Those who have previously used job boards will be familiar with the format of the website, but we would like to make special mention of the following points:
Recruitment companies and other advertisers such as a client company can pay for access to our candidate database. Candidates have three options regarding the level of access they wish to grant recruitment companies and advertisers to their profile:
Fully Viewable: this option allows all recruitment companies and advertisers to view their CV.
Case By Case: This requires recruitment companies and advertisers to request permission from the candidate prior to contact.
Hidden: This prevents all recruitment companies and advertisers from viewing their details.
Candidates can view their Public Profile to ensure they are satisfied with how their profile will appear.
Candidates who find a job or wish to deregister may do so with immediate effect through their ‘Account Profile’ or ‘CV Upload’. The database will archive the profile for possible future reactivation.
Candidates will be offered the choice of receiving email alerts from us and our selected partners.
Candidates opt in to this service and can change their preference at any time through their account settings.

When you visit the Website we may store some information (commonly known as a “cookie”) on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Passwords and credit card numbers are not stored in cookies. A cookie helps you get the best out of the Website and helps us to provide you with a more customised service.
You can block or erase cookies from your computer if you want to (your browser’s help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Website are reliant on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.
We use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service provided by Google, Inc.. Google Analytics uses “cookies” to help us analyse how users use the Website.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to Website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google undertakes not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
