InAutomotive is part of Friday Media Group Ltd and is a global online job portal established to accurately match work seeking candidates with recruiting companies.

When you submit information to InAutomotive, your information will also be shared with other relevant jobs boards that form part of the Friday Media Group portfolio. Any such sites will also use your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. InAutomotive will remain responsible for the management and security of jointly used Personal Information that you submit to InAutomotive.

We take data protection very seriously and understand the importance of protecting your privacy and Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that identifies you as an individual such as your name, date of birth, email address, IP address and CV.

How can you manage or delete Personal Information?

Below are the ways in which you can take control of how we use your Personal Information:

General Information:

When you register or apply for a job through InAutomotive, you will create an account on the site, against which we will store your basic details such as name, sex, location, CV (if supplied). On future visits, when logging in to your 'My Account' area, it is protected by your password and may only be accessed by you. You can manage the content and information in your Account at any time, by logging in to your "My Account". As part of the account creation process, you will also agree to our Terms and Conditions and can choose how we keep in contact with you. If you want to update your communication preferences, you can do so at any time by logging into your account and updating your preferences within Settings.

CV Visibility:

Provided you have consented to do so, your CV can be viewed by InAutomotive customers, as well as customers of our other applicable Friday Media Group Ltd network of sites. To make your CV visible on CV Search is the default setting, as it helps to fulfil the purpose of the business. You may however choose to remove your CV from being visible to customers of InAutomotive within your Account Settings, meaning that your CV and profile will not appear in any CV Searches conducted across the Friday Media Group network. In this instance, you are still able to apply for vacancies with your CV.

Communications and Promotions:

You can decide to update your preferences or unsubscribe from any employment or promotional information that we may send to you by using the below methods:

Using the preferences or unsubscribe functions at the bottom of any email we send
Amending your preferences by logging in to your account, accessing your Settings and opting-in/out of the available communication options
Contacting us on the Contact Us page of InAutomotive
Emailing our Data Protection Officer using the details found below

Analytics:

When you access our website, we store some information about you. This is generally anonymous and used for statistical purposes. However, InAutomotive uses a specific cookie to work with Google Universal Analytics and help us to understand how logged-in users interact with our site. We do this by utilising a User ID we store against every user and combining this with the Google Analytics stored information. The information we collect helps us to provide a better experience and allows us to understand how you use InAutomotive to fulfil your goals.

You can learn more about privacy at Google or choose to opt-out of this feature entirely by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Deleting your Personal Information:

You can remove any of the information that InAutomotive stores about you, at any time, by logging in to your account and choosing the ‘Delete Account’ option within your Account Settings.

If you would like to permanently delete your account and all information held on you (that isn’t legally required to be kept for legitimate business purposes), you can send an email to our Data Protection Officer (DPO) using the contact email listed below, with the subject line "Permanently delete my information and account". Make sure to let us know who you are so we can identify the information to be permanently deleted.

For more information on your rights regarding the deletion of personal data, see here.

Security:

InAutomotive is committed to keeping your personal data safe and secure from unauthorised access to or unauthorised alterations, disclosure or destruction of information that we hold. We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect you to our fullest capability. To minimise any potential breach or misuse, only cleared employees have access to the Personal Information that you provide us.

InAutomotive uses third-party cloud service providers that provide hosting, data storage and other services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable. These providers have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures. However, we will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any damages that may result from the misuse of any information, including Personal Data, by these companies.

Location based services:

In some instances, InAutomotive will help tailor your experience by providing content based on your location. This can be set using your device’s IP address or by utilising GPS data that your mobile device, such as an iPhone, stores and shares.

For IP Address LookUp, InAutomotive uses a service from IPStack. You can find out more about IPStack and view the IPStack Privacy Policy for more details of their service.

For GPS services, we use ‘W3 Geolocation API’. As its use is a subject of privacy, we will only use this if you agree to it. Once opted-in, we will use this information to provide you with job offers close to you and to improve our Products and Services. In no case will we merge such information with any personally identifiable information. We will at no time be able to connect you personally in connection with the respective location. You may at any stage opt out of location tracking by updating your device settings.

The right to ask what personal data we hold about you at any time (Friday Media Group retain the right to charge an administrative fee, fixed at £10, in cases where the request for information can be deemed excessive)
