Contact and other details you supply as part of the registration process are stored by us and used to provide you with the information you have requested.

Profile and CV information
When you complete your People In Procurement profile, including your CV, it will be made available for searching, viewing over the Internet and downloading by People In Procurement customers. Customers who request CVs matching your profile to be sent to them will receive your CV and profile via email. These may be direct recruiters, employment consultants or other organizations.

You can choose to prevent our customers from accessing your personal details, CV and profile.

You can also choose to make your personal details and your CV anonymous, while having your profile available to be searched on by recruiters. In this instance, People In Procurement identifies you to recruiters with an ID number. You can then choose to reveal yourself when you reply.

IMPORTANT: Your current employer may be a customer of People In Procurement , or a client of one of our customers. People In Procurement cannot restrict the customers who access profiles on our database and cannot be held responsible for any eventuality. As part of the registration process People In Procurement offers you the option of remaining anonymous.

People In Procurement will also use the aggregate data to identify employment trends across different sectors (Procurement, Supply Chain and Purchasing), such as salary averages. This information will not be capable of being linked to any personally identifying information about users.

Some of our customers may be located globally.

If you choose to create a profile and upload a CV to our database, we rely on you to ensure that your details are kept up to date. You should update your CV at least every six months, particularly if your contact details have changed. Once your profile and CV are on our database we will contact you every six months using your most recent contact details to ask whether you want it to remain there. If we do not hear from you, your profile and CV will be removed from our database.

Please note that People In Procurement reserves the right to remove from our database CVs which include any content that we consider to be illegal or offensive. We will also remove a CV if a complaint is upheld, which has been made against it.
