Jobseeker confirms and acknowledges that he/she discloses his/her personal data to the Employers and/or the Company of his/her own volition when he/she applies for available job vacancies posted on or through the Web Site, and/or when Jobseeker uses the Web Site for purposes of submitting, uploading or posting his/her resume on the Web Site. By submitting, uploading or posting his/her resume on the Web Site, Jobseeker authorizes the Company to store his/her resume and information or data related thereto in the database of the Company ("Database"). Jobseeker may send his/her resume and the related information or data directly to any Employer who advertises on or through the Web Site. Alternatively, Jobseeker may send his/her resume and the related information or data to the Company through the Web Site in reply to any job advertisement. In such event, Jobseeker's resume and the related information or data will remain active on the Web Site and be stored in the Database at his/her own risk unless and until he/she chooses to delete them. Jobseeker acknowledges and agrees that his/her resume and the related information or data may be accessed by the Employers who have subscribed to the services of the Company, for the sole purpose of recruiting and assessing the suitability of Jobseekers. The Company also reserves the right to reject, disapprove or edit any Jobseeker's resume and information or data related thereto as it sees appropriate and to erase any personal data which the Company reasonably believes is inaccurate having regard to the purpose (including any directly related purpose) for which the data is or is to be used.

Jobseeker also recognizes that he/she shall have no claims to any such fee received by the Company.

The Company will not release Jobseeker's personal data to any Employer without his/her permission. Jobseeker acknowledges and agrees that the Company will, if he/she so authorizes, release his/her resume (without his/her personal and contact information and name of his/her current employer) to Employer through the use of the Company's search engine or any other means for the sole purpose of enabling Employer to recruit and assess the suitability of Jobseekers in relation to any job vacancy. Jobseeker agrees that the Company and its associated companies may use his/her personal data (without his/her name, address and other personal identifiable information) for marketing purposes which may be directed to either potential employers or Employers, their respective agents or anyone under their employ.

Although the Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to restrict access to the Database only to the Employers and personnel of the Company, it does not guarantee that other parties will not, without the Company’s consent, gain access to the Database. Jobseeker may disable searching or viewing of his/her resume by the Employers at any time. However, Jobseeker acknowledges that the Employers and other parties who have otherwise gained access to the Database may have retained a copy of Jobseeker’s resume. The Company is not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes in these instances, or for the use or privacy of resumes by any of such parties while the resumes are in the Database.

The Company will not be responsible or held liable in any way if any Employer or other user, in breach of the Terms and Conditions, whether in Singapore or elsewhere, uses the Jobseeker's personal data, information or materials for any purpose other than for recruiting potential employees.
