Information collected may contain personal information such as your name, email address, billing and contact information, and other identifying information you may provide to eWorker (“Personal Information”). Aggregated, non-personally identifying information is not your personal information. We may use aggregated, non-personally identifying information to operate, analyze, improve, and optimize our website and service.

2.2. Information We Collect About Your Use of Our Services

eWorker automatically records certain information about your use of the Services. eWorker uses a variety of technologies to collect this information, including persistent and session cookies, web beacons, and pixel tracking technology. The information we collect includes number of log-ins, actions taken, data displayed or clicked on (e.g., UI elements, links), and other login information (e.g., browser type, IP address, date and time of access, cookie ID, referrer URL, etc.). We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Service, track users’ movements around the Service, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, we use “Pixel Tags” in the provision of our Services to you. Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements of web users. Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send email messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We also use analytics tools to collect information regarding your service usage to improve our Services.

eWorker may collect automated error reports in the case of software malfunction; such error reports may contain some or all of the information in your accounts and may be reviewed to help resolve problems with the eWorker Service. If you participate in a video conference with us, we may record the session and retain recordings of the session if we notify you that the session is being recorded and allow you the opportunity to opt out.

2.3. Information We Collect from Third Parties

Any Personal Information that eWorker may obtain from other third-party sources will be processed by eWorker in accordance with this Policy and all applicable laws. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Services in order to improve the Services we provide to you.

2.4. How We Use The Information We Collect

We use your Personal Information in connection with providing you with the Services and product features. Here are some examples of how we use your information:

To provide, develop, and enhance the Service;

Provide and deliver the products and services you request, process transactions, and to send you related information including confirmations and invoices;

  1. Uses Made Of Your Information

eWorker collects and processes your Personal Information on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the Personal Information being provided and the type of processing involved, as follows:

3.1 Lawful basis for processing

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are the recruitment of staff for organisations.

When you apply for a job opening through the eWorker Apply functionality, we rely on your consent, which is freely given by you during the application process, to disclose your personal data to eWorker on the basis described below.

3.2 Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.
  • To consider your application in respect of other roles.
  • To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process.
  • To enhance any information that we receive from you with information obtained from third party data providers.
  • To find appropriate candidates to fill eWorker job openings.

3.3 Automated decision making/profiling

We may use technology to select appropriate candidates for Us to consider based on criteria expressly identified by us, or typical in relation to the role for which you have applied. The process of finding suitable candidates is automatic, however, any decision as to who We will engage to fill the job opening will be made by eWorker staff

3.4 Performance of a Contract

Some of the Personal Information processed by eWorker is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering such an agreement. An example of this would be where eWorker sends an interview request to a Candidate from an Employer.

3.5. Legitimate Interest

A second ground relied upon by eWorker for other types of processing of your Personal Information is that it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by eWorker. Such legitimate interests will include where eWorker sends you marketing about our products and services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, or where such processing is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention. eWorker will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the processing in order to provide our services, products and features to you.

3.6. Compliance with a Legal Obligation

A third ground relied upon for certain types of processing is that it is necessary in order to allow eWorker to comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where eWorker is required to retain business records for fixed periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.

3.7. Consent

Finally, in certain limited situations, eWorker rely on your consent in order to process your Personal Information. Where eWorker requires your consent in order to collect and process certain Personal Information, we seek your consent at the time of provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured. For example, if you no longer want to receive marketing materials from us based upon your Personal Information, there are a number of options available to you. If you wish to opt out of a particular marketing email from eWorker, you may do so by clicking “unsubscribe” (or an equivalent action) where applicable. Please note that this will only opt you out of that particular marketing campaign. You can also access and adjust your marketing communications subscriptions from your account dashboard or contact [email protected] to do so. We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable, and in accordance with applicable laws.

Despite your election, we may still be required to send you Service-related communications, including any updates to our terms of service or this Policy.

  1. Public Profile

As an essential element of the Service, most of the Personal Information you provide to us when you register or update your profile is displayed on your profile and intended to be shared with other users. Your photos, posts, and other content you post to the Site are also meant for public consumption. We may display this content on the Site, our Services, and further distribute it to a wider audience through third party sites and services. Once displayed on publicly viewable web pages, that information can be collected and used by others. We cannot  control who reads your postings or what other users may do with the information that you voluntarily post, so it is very important that you do not put any sensitive, confidential, or any other information you do not wish to be shared in your posts. Once you have posted information publicly, while you will still be able to edit and delete it on the Service, you will not be able to edit or delete such information cached, collected, and stored elsewhere by others.

After an account has been deleted, certain data, such as messages to other users and comments, will remain. However, we will delete or deidentify your Personal Information, including your user name and email address, by associating them with an anonymous user. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but may remain in our archives.
