Privacy Statement

HTAUS has created this privacy policy because we value our users and recognise their right to keep personal information private. This statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for all sites managed by HITAUS. We'd like to hear your feedback about this statement. If you have comments or questions, please email us.

HITAUS gathers the following information:

IP Address

HITAUS web servers (and our feedback form on the web) gather your IP address to help diagnose problems with our service, to administer our site, and to gather broad demographic information.  Demographic information is gathered in aggregate only and cannot be traced to an individual user.

Cookies

HITAUS uses cookies to provide you with a better experience.  These cookies and applets allow you to use specific services such as Job Alert (a service which emails your chosen jobs), Application Tracker (to manage your HITAUS job applications), to remember who you are for Auto Login if you choose this option and to remember your last search criteria for My Last Search.  Users who do not wish to receive cookies can instruct their web browsers to refuse them.  However, doing so will prevent access to some areas of the site and limit your use of some of the HITAUS services

Registration Form

Registration on HITAUS is completely optional.  The HITAUS registration form requires users to provide an email address.  We require this information in order to provide additional free services such as Job Alert and CV creation.  To complete the registration process, you must choose a username and password.  You may also choose to record your first and last name.  This information will automatically populate the relevant fields when and if you use the HITAUS online application facility.  We may use this information to send users information about HITAUS (e.g. a newsletter by email).  Users may opt-out of receiving this information.  If you forget your login name and/or password you can request that we provide this information to you.

Job Alert

Job Alert is a free and optional service.  It requires users to complete the HITAUS registration process and to give information about the types of vacancies they are interested in.  This information creates a "Job Alert profile".  A Job Alert profile can only be viewed by the person who created it (or anyone whom that user gives his or her user name and password to).  Users who sign up for Job Alert will receive an automated email message from HITAUS to the email address nominated by the user.  The email will contain details of job vacancies that match the user's criteria.  It may also contain messages from HITAUS advertisers or partners and messages from HITAUS.  Email will be sent whenever suitable vacancies are published on the HITAUS site, but not more than once per day.  Users can modify or delete their Job Alert profiles at any time.  For more information on this visit HITAUS Help.

Creating a CV

CV creation is a free and optional service.  It requires users to complete the HITAUS registration process and to complete a form listing their contact details and work history.  The CV is stored on the HITAUS site.  Users can choose to keep this information private, or to make their CV available to authorised HITAUS advertisers. All data contained in your CV will be viewable by authorised HITAUS advertisers if you choose this option. 

A private CV can only be viewed by the person who posted it (or anyone whom that user gives his or her user name and password to).  If a user allows access by HITAUS advertisers, advertisers may view all user details including name and contacts, as supplied by the user when completing the CV form.

Online applications

Online application is a free and optional service that does not require registration [??].  It requires you to complete mandatory fields (first name, last name, phone and email).  You can choose to write or attach a cover letter and attach a CV previously stored on HITAUS or on your own computer.  This email will be directly sent to the advertiser.  A log file is created which notes the sender and recipient's email address. This log file is referred to if errors are reported.  This information may also be disclosed to HITAUS service providers and contractors from time to time who assist us to deliver our products and services.

User Feedback

HITAUS welcomes ideas and feedback from you about all aspects of the Site.  HITAUS stores feedback that users send to us.  This feedback is used to administer and refine the HITAUS service, and, at times, may be shared with HITAUS partners either in aggregate form or with specific identifying characteristics (e.g. email address, name) removed.  We may also use the information and ideas you send us to improve or promote the site, but we will not publish your name in association with any information you provide without contacting you and gaining your permission.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

HITAUS recognises that information related to your job search is highly personal and sensitive.  Access to your personal information is provided by use of your username and password.  You are responsible for ensuring the privacy and security of your username.  You may choose to send or store personal information at HITAUS.  This could include job applications sent directly via email to HITAUS advertisers or making your HITAUS CV available for selected recruitment consultants to view.  These services are optional.  Your CV privacy preferences may be edited at any time.  HITAUS does not sell, trade, rent or lend your personal information to others without your authorisation.  This information may be disclosed to HITAUS service providers and contractors from time to time who assist us to deliver our products and services.  If you contact us with a request for assistance in using site features or report an error, authorised HITAUS employees may access your user registration details solely in order to diagnose your problem and identify solutions.
