Information collected automatically

When you access or use our services, we may automatically collect certain information, such as your IP address and device type. In addition, we may collect clickstream, usage and performance data, such as the pages you looked at, the service features you used, and how you navigated through our services. This data helps us understand how our services are being used and can be improved and personalised for you.

We may collect this information by using cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Cookies are unique identification numbers like tags that are placed on the browser of internet users. The cookies do not in themselves identify users personally, but may link back to a database record about them.

We may use third party website analytics services such as Google Analytics, which issue cookies from their own servers to track website visits. We do not control how these cookies are issued, or the data that they store.

Most web browsers allow you to set some controls over cookies in your browser settings. To learn more about cookies and how you can manage them visit, allaboutcookies.org.

We may use "web beacons" (electronic images also known as pixel tags or clear gifs) to recognise a cookie on your computer when you view or act upon a web page an advertisement that we have placed on a third party website, or an email or other electronic communication that we have sent.

We may also use "localStorage" or "sessionStorage" browser APIs to collect and store certain browser data. These allow us to perform important functions across our services (such as keeping a user logged in or remembering which organisation a user is associated with), and cannot be disabled.

Information collected from third parties

Information about you may be collected from third parties, such as your employer or a customer or head contractor you are working for.

We may also collect information about you from our related companies, our partners, the operators of any third party apps which are integrated with our services, and any publicly available sources (such as social media pages).

Security

We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information and we take all reasonable precautions to protect it from loss, unauthorised or accidental access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, other misuse and actions which prevent us from accessing your information on a temporary or permanent basis (each such event being a privacy breach).

We use industry standard (or better) administrative, physical and technical protections to safeguard your personal information from privacy breaches.

You can unsubscribe from these communications at any time by following the "Unsubscribe" process in one of the promotional or marketing messages received.

You have rights under applicable privacy laws to request:

  • Confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you

We will review your request and provide a response as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 20 working days (or such shorter period as may be required by applicable privacy laws).

If we decline your request, we will give you reasons for this decision when we respond. If we have declined a request to correct your personal information and you have provided us with a statement of the correction you have sought, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that this statement of correction is included with your personal information that we hold.

If permitted by applicable privacy law, we may impose reasonable charges for providing you with access to your information, including any statement of correction with your personal information, or providing you with assistance in relation to your request. We will inform you of these charges in advance.
