Privacy Policy With Respect To Use Of CVs

As part of the services DRC Locums provides, you are able to post your CV on our website. This section of DRC Locums' general Privacy Policy applies to the use of your CV by DRC Locums.

CVs are accessed by our consultants who seek to find you employment with third parties ("Third Parties"). Consultants are not permitted to disclose information outside our organization or beyond the Third Party, as applicable. Recruiters are also required to have entered into an agreement with Third Parties that requires such Third Parties to use your CV solely for the purpose of filling a job within the Third Party for which the information was provided and not disclosing your CV outside the organization. However, although DRC Locums deals only with reputable organizations, we cannot guarantee that all Employers and Third Parties will adhere to the limitations we impose on them. If at any time you would like your CV removed from our Website, you may do so by using the "delete CV" function.

Some job postings which are posted on the DRC Locums Site allow you to follow links to where you can apply, and provide your CV, for a specific job posting. In some cases, such applications are still within the DRC Locums Site and its control. If you are not asked to login using your DRC Locums Registration User ID and password, however, then both the application process, and your CV are outside the DRC Locums Site and DRC Locums' control. In such cases you will be providing your CV directly to the Employer or Recruiter and your CV will be subject to their privacy policy. DRC Locums is not responsible for the privacy practices of such Employer or Recruiter. In such cases, we encourage you to review the Employer or Recruiter's privacy policy.
