This information is used for the Online Recruitment process and this includes sending JobDirect.cc resumes to a Recruiter for the purpose of a JobDirect.cc job application process where such resume data may then be stored by the Recruiter for future recruitment consideration. A Recruiter may also make contact with a JobSeeker for recruitment opportunities as a result of a resume search conducted by the Recruiter on searchable resumes on the JobDirect.cc database. Please note that under no circumstances are employers ever provided with search access to the JobDirect database. If we have trouble processing a request, the contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. JobDirect does not store this information.

JobSeekers who have been placed in a job through the JobJunction Network are eligible for a holiday reward voucher. The information we require for these purposes are employment details, recruiter details and personal details. The information will be stored for verification purposes only and will be treated as confidential. If a JobSeeker gives us permission we may publish details of their placement. 

6. Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie terminates.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this site and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. 

7. Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer the site, track users' movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. 

8. Sharing

We sometimes share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to personally identifiable information.

We also partner with third parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. We will not voluntarily disclose any information about individual users to third parties, except as described in this privacy statement, or to comply with applicable laws or valid legal process, or to protect the rights or property of JobDirect.cc and its partner sites.

JobDirect.cc maintains relationships with outside service providers for some of the services offered through our site, for example Netcash.

The information these providers make available may be presented in a "framed" format, where the JobDirect.cc border will surround the pages served by the service provider, or where pages have the look and feel of JobDirect.cc. In either case, the service provider is prominently identified. Please be aware that any information you provide on those framed pages is provided directly to those service providers and is subject to their security and privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these outside service providers because their privacy practices may differ from ours.

We also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. Access to all of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our Client Service Management) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, and we do everthing in our power to ensure data redundancy.  If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as their email address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal details provided to us. This can be done from the user's Homepage page or by emailing our Client Service at info@JobDirect.co.za.
