Privacy Policy

Our Aims
We take your privacy very seriously.

InterimContrator.com is interested in providing you with the opportunity to secure contracts directly with potential clients. We do not act as a recruitment consultant and we do not pass any of your details onto any third parties. We will never do this without your consent. Where consent is given, it is possible to withdraw it at any time.

You are in control of your profile, and you decide whether or not you will respond to an enquiry from a potential client. People viewing your profile cannot access your direct contact details. They must use the InterimContractor.com contact button within your profile, and messages are sent without revealing your email address.

We do not even collect data about you using cookies that track your activity like most other websites do. That is why there are no cookie policy pop-ups when you visit our website.

As the membership grows, we have plans for two things;

	1.	Add functionality to the website that alerts you to relevant contract opportunities advertised on the website.
	2.	Use the strength of our membership to negotiate special terms with third parties that are relevant to interim contractors (e.g. professional indemnity insurance discounts, hotel discounts, training discounts). When we secure such opportunities, we would like to let you know about them by email.

When these new services are available, we will not pass your details onto third parties to contact you directly, we will communicate opportunities and benefits to you directly. You can then decide if you want to submit a proposal for a contract opportunity or take advantage of a user benefit.

The above two options for direct contact by us will be on an opt in basis. You will be able to opt in and out at any time by ticking or unticking the appropriate box on your account management page.

PURPOSE OF PROCESSING

Our website is hosted by a UK based third party, and your data is stored and processed within the secure servers of that third party. All of your data is password protected and can only be accessed by authorised InterimContractor.com administrators. Other than that, your personal data has never been, and will not be, transferred to or stored by third parties without your advanced permission.

InterimContractor.com will continue to process your data in order to publish your desired profile details on the website.

If you opt in to the contract opportunity service, InterimContractor.com will process your data to identify relevant contract opportunities to present you with. The processing will include running specific searches against a number of criteria within your profile to match against those within contract opportunities listed on the InterimContractor.com website that we believe may be of interest to you.

InterimContractor.com will, on some occasions, process your data for internal reporting reasons such as reviewing the number of candidates on our database. These reports will not be shared with third parties but anonymised reports may be discussed and shared that do not including any specific personal data.

If you opt in to the member benefits notification service, we will email you with details of member benefits.

Data Retention
InterimContractor.com will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. If you make a request for your account to be removed, all of your personal data will be deleted and will be irrecoverable for use by any parties.


PUBLIC ACCESS TO PROFILE INFORMATION

When you complete and publish your InterimContractor.com profile, it can be made available for searching, viewing over the Internet and downloading by any business, direct recruiter, employment consultant or other person or organisation who accesses the website. Your profile is your public facing promotion of your services.

InterimContractor.com does not verify the identity or the nature of the business of organisations or individuals who view your profile or contact you through the website. You can hide your profile from public view at any time by selecting the option in your account management page. This will retain your registration and profile details on the system, but they will not be visible to website visitors.

IMPORTANT: It is worth remembering that your current client may be a user of the InterimContractor.com website, or a client of one of the users of the InterimContractor.com website.

If you choose to create a profile on our database, we rely on you to ensure that your details are kept up to date. You should update your profile each time your circumstances change, particularly if your contact details have changed.

Please note that InterimContractor.com reserves the right to remove from our database, profiles which include any content that we consider to be illegal, offensive or not relevant to the goals of the site.

IP address information
Like many websites, we routinely capture IP address information of visitors in order to determine their location and the browser that they use. Website users are not personally identifiable from this data (e.g. names, addresses etc), but it helps us to work out;

	1.	the geographic profile of visitors at the country level (e.g. UK or EU);
	2.	which browsers our website needs to support;
	3.	the volume of visitors.

An IP address, or 'internet protocol address', is a unique identifying number given to every device connected to the internet.
