Introduction

AllHires & Apply4Law are trading names of Globe Business Publishing Limited. For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data processor is Globe Business Publishing Limited.

AllHires, Apply4Law and Globe Business Publishing Limited ("We", "Our" or "Us") are concerned with the protection of your privacy and comply with all relevant European legislation (in particular Directive 95/46/EC) and UK legislation (in particular the Data Protection Act 1998) as amended from time to time.

By accepting this Privacy Policy by ticking the box below, you will be deemed to have consented to the collection and use of your information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the processing of your information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy you must leave this site immediately.

Information We Will Collect From You

It will be necessary for you to provide personal data when completing the application form. You will therefore need to consent to Us processing your personal data for the purpose of considering and efficiently administering your application. If you agree to your personal data being processed in this way, you should indicate this by ticking the box when prompted.

You should also view the privacy policy of the law firm you are applying to, in order to satisfy yourself as to how they will be processing your data.

Use of Your Personal Information

Your personal information shall be used in the following ways:

• your completed application form will be stored on Our servers;
• your completed application form will be sent to the law firm you are applying to so that they may consider whether to further your application; and
• your email address will be used by the law firm in order to communicate to you the progress of your application.

We respect your concerns about privacy and follow strict procedures to protect your personal information. We will ensure that your personal information is handled in a responsible way. Your personal information will only be used for the purposes listed above. We will never sell, rent or otherwise make available any of your personal information, including your email address, unless required to do so by law. We will never process your data outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"). If the law firm to which you are applying has offices outside of the EEA, please check their privacy policy to ensure where your application data will be processed.

Once We are informed that the law firm's recruitment process has been completed, your personal information will no longer be stored on Our servers.

Some basic data relating to your application will be kept on Our servers after this time, but only in an anonymous form. The purpose of this is to monitor statistics relating to equal opportunities.

Keeping your Personal Information Safe and Current

We employ security measures to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and is never accessible to unauthorised third parties. However, We will not be liable in any way for any breach of security or for the actions of unauthorised third parties that receive such information.

Ultimately, it is your responsibility to ensure that your personal information is kept secure. Accordingly, it is recommended that you do not use a publicly accessible computer to complete the application form. You are also responsible for keeping your password confidential and We ask that you do not share this with anyone.

Use of Cookies

We use session cookies in order to authenticate users during the application procedure. Cookies operate by placing a small text file on your hard drive. Session cookies are deleted once your session has finished.

We may also collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregated information. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

If you do not wish to receive cookies you can alter your Internet browser's settings so that it does not accept them. Please be aware that if cookies are disabled, you will not be able to complete the application form.

This Privacy Policy will be amended from time to time. You will be notified of any changes to this Policy by an announcement on our website. If any changes affect the way an existing application will be processed, then you will be notified by email of these changes.
