Introduction

The Big Choice values the importance of our users and we respect our users confidentiality and privacy, to maintain the advantage that the Internet provides to the user. We provide this notice to explain the type of information we collect on the www.thebigchoice.com website (known as 'The Big Choice') and how we use this information. The more individual information that you provide for us enables The Big Choice to serve you better. The 'Individual Information' you provide to us is initially in the form of 'Personal Details' (see below Information Collected) The individual information that you give us, then allows us to personalise your experience on our website and to also to allow us to be able to selectively send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise.

You as the user

We will not pass on your personal information to third parties for use in marketing third party activities. Your information will be used solely by The Big Choice for the provision of our services. This Privacy Policy Statement explains the data processing practices of The Big Choice. If you have any requests concerning your personal information or any queries with regard to these practices please email us privacystatementquery@thebigchoice.com

Information Collected

We collect personal information from you through the use of profiling your 'Personal Details'. As a recruitment website, we give you the option of putting your personal details into our database. There are two ways of doing this. You may store your Personal Details in our database and hide them by 'Holding your information'. 'Holding' your Personal Details means that recruiters will not have access to search it. Alternatively, you can store your Personal Details in our database and allow it to be searchable. If you allow your Personal Details to be searchable, then all recruitment agencies that pay for access to our Headhunting services will have access to your Personal Details.

We also collect information automatically about your visit to our site. The information obtained in this way, which includes demographic data and browsing patterns, is only used to determine who is visiting our site.

We use information that you provide (individual and aggregate) to better design our website and to improve our marketing strategy and our products. One method through which this website collects aggregate information is the collection of IP addresses. The Big Choice also uses Cookies for information collected about the user on the site (see 'Cookies' below). An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from this website, our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. To the extent such information is shared with third parties, please see " Third Parties Privacy Practices " below.

Third Parties Privacy Practices

We share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. We do not provide any identifiable personal information to any third party for any purpose whatsoever. For example, we provide equal opportunity information as regards our users, but we do not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Our intention is never to use or share personally identifiable information provided to us in ways that are different than the ways described above without also providing you with an opportunity to "unsubscribe" or prohibit such unrelated uses.
