Graduly Privacy Policy

We recognise and respect the importance of protecting the privacy of visitors to our website. This privacy policy explains what information we collect about you through our website, how we use that information and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

We reserve the right to amend or modify this privacy statement at any time and in response to changes in applicable law. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of our website, so that you are aware of any amendments.

Candidate profiles

If you are a job candidate, by creating and posting a profile on the website, you are authorising Graduly to make available the profile for download to employers and recruiters who are registered with Graduly. You can delete your profile from the website at any time. Graduly has no control over, and shall not be responsible for, the manner in which employers and recruiters deal with any personal information contained in profiles downloaded by them (although employers and recruiters are themselves subject to the Data Protection Act 1988).

Collection of Personal Information

We need to collect certain personal details when you register with us and use the services available through our website in order to facilitate the provision of these services and to maintain our quality standards. These details will include your name, address, contact details and other basic information. You can amend or update the information you have entered into the website at any time.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data whilst it is being transmitted to or from our website; any transmission is at your own risk.

Personal data will be held by Graduly using appropriate safeguards to maintain its privacy and security.

Use of Personal Information

By registering your details on the website, you consent to us contacting you via email, telephone or post, for the purposes of:

  1. monitoring and improving the provision of the services through the website;
  2. providing you with relevant information regarding the services on our website; and
  3. conducting market research.

Provided that you have "opted in" to receiving such communications:

  2. we may pass your contact details to selected third parties (such as universities) who may contact you directly for marketing purposes or in order to conduct their own research.

Graduly may use personal information provided by you, including information contained within candidate profiles, in order to compile statistics and reports which we may then make available to universities, employers or others. Graduly shall ensure that such statistics or reports do not contain any personal data or other information which would enable the recipients to identify individuals.

We will not share, trade or sell your information to any company or parties not directly associated with its proper use in accordance with the terms of our service or as described above, except when you give us explicit permission or we are under a legal obligation to do so.
