Privacy Policy

Updated 25.05.2018

You are not required to provide any personal information to use or view the public pages of our website. However, where you provide your personal information – such as sending your CV, contact us generally, reach out to a named individual or register with one of our consultants, or provide us your details at an industry event – this Privacy Statement will govern how we collect, use and process your provided information.

Each time you provide personal information through this website or your details are captured via one of our staff, you will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Statement. Since it is not our intention to collect personal information from children, no child specific policy is described.

Please read our Privacy Statement below, plus any supplementary information at the end for additional details about particular sites and services from Aspect Resources Ltd that you may use.

Collection, use and processing of your personal information
On some pages and sites, we collect personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. For registration to join our talent pools, or for submission to one of our clients, we may also collect information from your uploaded CV or online work history profile. Information collected by Aspect Resources Ltd may be combined with information obtained from other sources.

We collect, use and process your personal information to provide certain services for you, such as responding to your questions, providing marketing information for you electronically in response to your requests and assessing your suitability for current or future roles. In addition to sending information you request, we may also use your personal information to communicate with you about other topics we believe may be of interest.

We do not use, collect, determine or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, other than as required by law. We keep track of the pages our customers visit by recording your IP address together with the date, time and duration of your visit. An IP address is an assigned number which allows your computer to communicate over the internet. Recording IP addresses enables us to identify which organisations have visited our site and to track which pages and services are the most popular so that we can improve our site. We do not match this information with any personal information you may provide through the forms on this site.
