it will be necessary for our web server to receive the
personal information Candidates send to us and to automatically
pass it on to Recruiters and vice versa and this may involve
the passing or access of your personal information to

3. PAYING FOR THE SERVICES ACCESSIBLE
FROM OUR WEB SITE
3.1 Making sure you can buy safely on
line is a priority for us and we have made strenuous efforts
to ensure that security is one of our highest priorities
and we have devoted a great deal of effort to ensure that
our on-line security measures help to safeguard your information.
The Web Site will use industry-standard Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) technology provided by a third party payment
provider to allow for the encryption of:
3.1.1 potentially sensitive information
such as your name and address; and
3.1.2 critically-sensitive information
like your credit card number and other payment details
when the on-line payment procedure is functioning.
3.2 If concerned about the privacy of
your credit card information, we encourage you to use
an alternative payment method such as paying by the BACS
system or by cheque as indicated on the payment section
of the Web Site.
3.3 We hope that once you understand
the measures we take to help ensure secure transactions
and privacy, and the steps you can take yourself, you
will be as happy about the safety of your online transaction
and information as we are.
