Data Protection and Privacy Policy Multotec’s online service is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We want to provide a safe and secure user experience. We will ensure that the information you submit to us via our webpage at Multotec.com ("The Multotec site") remains private, and is only used for the purposes set out in this policy.

The information we collect and how we use it

Your personal details, including your name, e-mail address and CV, are held and used by us for the following purposes:

• For matching your coded details with opportunities in the Multotec Group, should such an opportunity arise
• For compiling salary and other surveys of our potential candidates

 
Disclosures of your information: We will share your information within the Multotec group of companies where necessary, in order to provide you with our recruitment services.

It is possible that Multotec could merge or be acquired by another business. If this happens, we may share the information that relates to you with the new owners of the business and their advisers.

Your CV and related information will be sent to prospective employers but only where you give your consent. Such employers may be located both inside and outside the Republic of South Africa.

We may also release information relating you to regulatory or law enforcement authorities, if required to do so. We also reserve the right to disclose the information we have collected about you to our professional advisors and to other persons to the extent that Multotec contracts out any aspect of the operation of its recruitment agency services. These third parties will be acting under similar undertakings of confidentiality as Multotec.

Curriculum vitae ("CV"): We give you the option of submitting your CV via this website. You can do this either to apply for a specific advertised job or for consideration by our recruitment consultants for positions as they come up. Although your CV will be stored online, it will only be accessible by Multotec group recruitment consultants, working both inside and outside the Republic of South Africa. Your CV will also be e-mailed directly to our recruitment consultants who review your details and enter them onto our central in-house database. This database, including the information relating to you, can be accessed by any of our recruitment consultants working in other offices of the Multotec group, both inside and outside the Republic of South Africa.

You can update your CV at any time, simply by following the same procedure to submit a new CV. Your old CV will automatically be replaced.

Aggregate (Information about Multotec online visitors): We gather information and statistics collectively about all visitors to this website and all of the Multotec websites worldwide. For example, areas that users access most frequently and which services users access the most. We only use such data in the aggregate form. This information helps us to determine what is most beneficial for our users and how we can continually improve our online services to create a better overall experience for our users. We may also publish some of this information on the Multotec websites around the world.

Use of Cookies: A cookie is a small data file which is sent from a web server to a web browser when that browser visits the server's site. Cookies may be used on the Multotec website to remember your login, to track web traffic on an aggregate basis so that no individuals are identified and to keep session information such as your last search (this information is disposed of every time you close your web browser). Most browsers allow you to turn-off cookies. If you want to know how to do this, please look at the help menu on your browser. However, switching off cookies will restrict your use of our website.

Access: You have the right at any time to ask us for a copy of the information supplied by you that we hold. We may have the right to charge an administrative fee for this service. If you would like to make a request for information, please contact Multotec in writing. You also have the right to ask Multotec to stop using your information.

Other websites: Please note that clicking on to links and banner advertisements may result in your transferral to another website, where data privacy practices may be different to that of Multotec. Visitors should consult other websites' privacy policies as we are not responsible for, and have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by these third parties.

Internet-based transfers: Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by browsing this website and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.

Changes to our Privacy Policy: This privacy policy may be changed by Multotec at any time. If we change our privacy policy in the future, we will set out those changes here, so that you will always know what personal information we gather, the purposes we might use it for, and to whom we might disclose it.

If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about Multotec's online privacy commitment, please feel free to e-mail us at marketing@Multotec.com or call your local office to speak to one of our representatives.

Equal Opportunities: Multotec is an equal opportunities employer and is a company committed to diversity. This means that all job applicants and members of staff will receive equal treatment and that we will not discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age.

As part of our commitment to equal opportunities, we may from time to time use information provided by you for the purposes of diversity monitoring. Any such information will be used on an anonymous basis in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.
