Privacy Policy
Introduction
YER is committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors to our
website and users of the other services available through our site.
We believe one of the most unique and valuable aspects of YER's
services is our ability to provide a secure environment where our
users can efficiently exchange information and transact business
without fear of non permitted disclosure or use of their
proprietary information. We will use our best efforts to ensure
that the information you provide us remains private and is used
only for the purposes set forth herein.
This privacy policy details our commitment to protect your
information and the limited manner in which we will use that
information to provide and improve our provision of services.
The Information We Collect and How We Use It
Your personal details, including your name, email address and
resume, are held and used by us for the following purposes:
- for matching your coded details with job vacancies, to
assist us in finding you the position that most suits you;
- for keeping you informed of YER's services, news and
wider developments in your chosen field;
- for tailoring the version of our website you see when you
log on to make it relevant to you; and/or
- for compiling salary and other surveys of our
candidates.
Disclosures of your information
We will share your information within the YER International
group of companies where necessary in order to provide you with our
recruitment services.
It is possible that YER 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. You will be sent notice of such an event.
Your resume 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 USA.
We may also release information relating to 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 YER International contracts out any aspect of the operation of
its recruitment agency services. These third parties will be acting
under similar undertakings of confidentiality as YER.
Vacancy Alerts
To subscribe to vacancy alerts emails, you will be required to
provide your email address, which will be used for the purpose of
keeping you informed, by email, of the latest jobs in your
nominated industry and/or industry news via vacancy alerts.
Should you decide that you no longer wish to
receive this information, unsubscribe links are provided in every
vacancy alert email that you receive.
Resume
We give you the option of submitting your resume 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 resume will be stored
online, it will only be accessible by YER recruitment consultants,
working both inside and outside the USA. Your resume will also be
emailed 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 YER International, both inside and outside the USA.
You can update your resume at any time. Your old resume will
automatically be replaced.
Aggregate Information about YER International online
visitors
We gather information and statistics collectively about all
visitors to this website and all of the YER websites worldwide, for
example, which area users' access most frequently and which
services users' access the most. We only use such data in the
aggregate form. This information helps us 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 also publish some of this information on the YER websites
worldwide.

Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves
the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by

Security
YER has implemented technical and organizational measures designed
to secure your personal information, including firewalls, secured
servers and database security, from accidental loss and from
unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. We continually
update our network to protect the confidentiality of our data. Due
to constantly changing environments; however, we cannot guarantee
that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those
measures or use your personal information for improper
purposes.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
This privacy policy may be changed by YER 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 YER's online privacy commitment, please feel
free to e-mail us at
