A privacy policy change comes into effect today
Earlier this month we gave you a heads up about a few changes to our privacy policy which will allow us to build some cool new features in Trade Me Jobs. These changes come into effect today, and will further explain how we use some of the data you upload when applying for jobs.
When uploading your CV during a job application or adding it to CVs and documents we will run scanning software over it and use that data to create a Trade Jobs member profile. Don’t worry – none of our staff will read your CVs. And we won’t share any of the information with any third parties without your explicit permission. The software will not scan any of your existing CVs, or any of the documents or cover letters you save. It will only scan the CVs you save after 23 December 2016.
We’re really excited about this change as it will enhance your experience on Trade Me Jobs, by providing you with job vacancies that closely match your skills and experience.
Next year when Trade Me Jobs member profiles go live, you’ll be able to highlight all your skills and manage all the information you’d like recruiters and advertisers to know and use to find you. We won’t let them access any of that information without your permission so all your data will be secure and private and you’ll be in complete control of it.
You can remove your CVs from Trade Me at any time, via CVs and documents in My Trade Me.
If you have any feedback or questions about this, please drop us a line.
