Privacy Policy

 

Four6one plc (‘Four6one’) operates this Privacy Policy (and its various websites (‘Site(s)’) of which this is one) in order to compliment its position as a trusted adviser to business, to ensure it upholds and maintains visitors' rights to privacy in the online environment and to comply with data protection legislation. Four6one wishes to provide a secure and safe user experience and to explain how Four6one will use and reserve your rights in relation to any personal data which you may send or provide to Four6one through this or other Four6one Sites.

1)    Data Collection and Purpose

Four6one will only collect and use personal data that is voluntarily provided by visitors to its Sites or otherwise. Visitors are able to browse this Four6one Site without disclosing any personal information. Four6one will not collect or use information from other sources such as public bodies or private organisations. A visitor to a Site may choose to provide Four6one with limited personal data as required in order to register for certain services, such as name, address, telephone numbers, email address and other demographic information. In each case, it is indicated on the Site whether data needs to be provided in order to use a particular Four6one service; and once registered the information will only be used for the specified service(s).

Visitors to this Site can register for one or more of the following:

  • Express an interest in working with Four6one
  • General contact with Four6one
  • Register for events and conferences

Four6one also gathers certain personal information about your particular use of a Site, which part you visit and what services you review or apply to use. In addition, in doing this Four6one may gather information about your computer (such as your IP address, browser, and access times) which is or is not linked to your personal information.

2)    Use of data collected

By voluntarily providing Four6one with any of your information you agree you are consenting to Four6one’s use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use (or other terms applying) of the particular site concerned.  Such agreed use includes without limitation, Four6one determining whether to send you, and in sending you, various emails or other communications about any of Four6one’s products or services. For the avoidance of doubt, unless you unsubscribe or notify Four6one otherwise, you agree Four6one can use your contact information to send you various Four6one updates and news communications.

Four6one uses the data it collects for the purpose of managing its provision of services to those who are using or who have registered with a Site, for administering and managing your relationship with Four6one, responding to any of your questions and delivering products and services to you and other Four6one clients and candidates.

If you use a Site and compile and send to Four6one a CV for Four6one’s databases, then Four6one strongly advises you not to include information relating to such matters as your racial or ethnic origin, your political or trade union beliefs, your religious beliefs, your health, age or other similar matters. At the same time, you realise that Four6one or its clients need accuracy of relevant information which is required or legitimately able to be disclosed.

In each Site or communication, you will be given the opportunity to opt out or unsubscribe from receiving further such communications. This is in addition to your right generally and under the registration to any Four6one services to withdraw and unsubscribe by giving express written notice to Four6one at Wrest House, Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire, MK45 4HS.

3)    Disclosure to Third Parties

We will not disclose to third parties your personal information or your use of a Site except as described below:-

  • Where it is clear that it is a part of the Site’s service (e.g. send CVs to recruiters)
  • Where the transfer is necessary to fulfil your request and involves a third party organisation with which Four6one has a relationship and which is a data processor (including those outside the European Economic Area)
  • Where you consent to such disclosure (including as described in all Site terms, registrations or otherwise)
  • In order to fulfil your request which involves other Four6one brands
  • Where a third party acquires part or all of Four6one’s business, whether such acquisition is by way of share sale, substantial asset sale, merger, joint venture, takeover or otherwise
  • As required by a court order, governmental or regulatory authority
  • As Four6one reasonably considers necessary to enable Four6one to comply with legal requirements, prevent a crime or protect the personal safety of users or the public

Four6one does not collect or compile personal data or information obtained by its Sites for dissemination or sale to outside parties for consumer marketing purposes or host mailings on behalf of third parties.

4)     Data Amendments and Retention

Information collected from visitors to the Sites will only be kept in order to provide the required service. Once the service has been completed all information will be treated in accordance with Four6one’s data retention policies. As we need to keep the information accurate and up to date, please assist Four6one by ensuring that you inform us about any changes to your information.

Please note that you have the right to request details of the information Four6one holds about you and to delete or rectify any inaccurate information about you by sending Four6one a written request to Four6one at Wrest House, Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire, MK45 4HS, Four6one’s registered office.

5)   Cookies

Cookies are text files which may be saved in your computers memory temporarily or placed on the hard drive and they save a small amount of personal information. The Sites do include some cookies. They are used to save various details you input, what you are looking for etc, and facilitate easy access and speedy movement through the Site with recommendations which may be pertinent to you by retrieving previous data you have given. If you wish to decline the cookies than you should be able to set your browser setting to decline all cookies.

6)    Security

Four6one has implemented accepted standards of technical measures and security policies that protect the personal data it has under its control from:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Improper use or disclosure
  • Unauthorised modification
  • Unlawful destruction or accidental loss.
  • All account data is encrypted but as the worldwide internet is an open system, Four6one cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never gain access by defeating Four6one’s precautions and security methods and use your personal information.

Four6one attempts to limit access to its searchable databases on various of the Sites to certain vetted and Four6one approved third parties on an anonymous non-attributable basis until you have given consent to release such information in a particular case. However, Four6one cannot guarantee that somehow and against Four6one’s consent, others may not gain access . Where you have given consent, such third party may retain or use that information in a manner beyond the control of Four6one and so Four6one cannot be held liable or responsible in any way for what authorized recipients (and those who are unauthorized) may do with such data.

Please note that www.Four6one contains links to other sites (including Sites maintained by Four6one) and those non-Four6one websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy as Four6one has no control over them. Four6one is not responsible for the privacy policies of such other web sites to which you choose to visit or link from this Site. Do read and understand the privacy policies of such other sites so that you understand how they collect, use and share your information.
