We only collect the information that you choose to send us or inform us of by telephone, electronic communications or hard copy. Usually this is an electronic copy of your CV/Curriculum vitae/resume. We may also have access to your profile on social media sites such as “Linkedin”, or “job boards” such as efinancial careers if you have added your details to such networks or websites.
Your curriculum vitae may contain information such as career history, date of birth, references, postal and or email address, phone number and salary information.
