Below are the ways in which you can take control of how we use your Personal Information:
General Information:
When you register or apply for a job through Simply HR, you will create an account on the site, against which we will store your basic details such as name, sex, location, CV (if supplied). On future visits, when logging in to your 'My Account' area, it is protected by your password and may only be accessed by you. You can manage the content and information in your Account at any time, by logging in to your "My Account". As part of the account creation process, you will also agree to our Terms and Conditions and can choose how we keep in contact with you. If you want to update your communication preferences, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and updating your preferences within Settings.
CV Visibility:
Provided you have consented to do so, your CV can be viewed by Simply HR customers, as well as customers of our other applicable Friday Media Group Ltd network of sites. To make your CV visible on CV Search is the default setting, as it helps to fulfil the purpose of the business. You may however choose to remove your CV from being visible to customers of Simply HR within your Account Settings, meaning that your CV and profile will not appear in any CV Searches conducted across the Friday Media Group network. In this instance, you are still able to apply for vacancies with your CV.
Communications and Promotions:
You can decide to update your preferences or unsubscribe from any employment or promotional information that we may send to you by using the below methods:

When you access our website, we store some information about you. This is generally anonymous and used for statistical purposes. However, Simply HR uses a specific cookie to work with Google Universal Analytics and help us to understand how logged-in users interact with our site. We do this by utilising a User ID we store against every user and combining this with the Google Analytics stored information. The information we collect helps us to provide a better experience and allows us to understand how you use Simply HR to fulfil your goals.
You can learn more about privacy at Google or choose to opt-out of this feature entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Deleting your Personal Information:
You can remove any of the information that Simply HR stores about you, at any time, by logging in to your account and choosing the ‘Delete Account’ option within your Account Settings.
If you would like to permanently delete your account and all information held on you (that isn’t legally required to be kept for legitimate business purposes), you can send an email to our Data Protection Officer (DPO) using the contact email listed below, with the subject line "Permanently delete my information and account".

For IP Address LookUp, Simply HR uses a service from IPStack. You can find out more about IPStack and view the IPStack Privacy Policy for more details of their service.
For GPS services, we use ‘W3 Geolocation API’. As its use is a subject of privacy, we will only use this if you agree to it.

In no case will we merge such information with any personally identifiable information. We will at no time be able to connect you personally in connection with the respective location.
