Pearson Employment (“Pearson Employment”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of individuals who access our website and engage with our recruitment services. This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and disclosed when employers, job seekers, or other visitors interact with our website.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

​

Information Collection

Pearson Employment collects information solely for legitimate recruitment and business purposes. Information may be collected directly from individuals through enquiry forms, application forms, and direct communications, as well as automatically through website usage.

Personal information refers to information that can be used to identify an individual. This may include, but is not limited to, an individual’s name, email address, telephone number, city or region of residence, employment preferences, availability, professional background, and other information voluntarily provided when submitting an enquiry or application through the website.

Providing personal information is voluntary. However, failure to provide certain information may limit our ability to respond to enquiries, assess suitability for employment opportunities, or provide recruitment-related services.

In addition to personal information, non-personal information may be collected automatically when visitors access the website. This information does not identify an individual and may include browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and time spent on the website. This information is used to monitor website performance and improve functionality.

​

Use of Personal Information

Personal information collected by Pearson Employment is used for recruitment-related and operational purposes only. This includes responding to enquiries from employers and job seekers, assessing candidate suitability for employment opportunities, communicating regarding recruitment services, and requesting additional information or documentation where necessary to support recruitment processes.

Information may also be used to improve internal recruitment practices, enhance website functionality, and ensure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Pearson Employment does not use personal information for unrelated purposes without consent, nor does it sell or rent personal information to third parties.

​

Disclosure of Information

Pearson Employment limits the disclosure of personal information to circumstances where it is necessary and appropriate. Personal information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers who assist with website hosting, data storage, communication systems, or other operational services, provided that such parties are required to maintain confidentiality and data protection standards.

Personal information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by law, including in response to lawful requests by regulatory or governmental authorities. In the event of a business restructuring, merger, or transfer of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continued protection consistent with this Privacy Policy.

 

Cookies and Website Analytics

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to collect non-personal information related to website usage. Cookies are small data files stored on a user’s device that assist in analyzing website traffic and improving user experience.

Visitors may choose to disable cookies through their browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain website features or functionality.

 

Data Security

Pearson Employment takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or misuse. Access to personal information is restricted to individuals who require such access for recruitment or operational purposes.

While reasonable safeguards are in place, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Pearson Employment cannot guarantee absolute security but is committed to maintaining appropriate protection measures.

 

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required under applicable laws and regulations. Information may be retained for legitimate business purposes, including record keeping, compliance obligations, and internal analysis, after which it is securely disposed of or anonymized.

 

Access, Accuracy, and Updates

Individuals have the right to request access to the personal information held about them by Pearson Employment and to request corrections where information is inaccurate or incomplete. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and within reasonable timeframes.

Pearson Employment relies on individuals to ensure that the personal information they provide is accurate and up to date.

 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Pearson Employment reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Any updates or changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the website following such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
