Registration details
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 Network Hospitality profile, including your CV, it can be made available for searching, viewing over the Internet and downloading by Network Hospitalitys' customers. Customers who request CVs matching your profile to be sent to them, will receive your CV and profile via email or CD Rom. These may be direct recruiters, employment consultants or other organisations.
IMPORTANT: Your current employer may be a customer of Network Hospitality, or a client of one of our customers. Network Hospitality cannot restrict the customers who access profiles on our database and cannot be held responsible for any eventuality. As part of the registration process Network Hospitality offers you the option of remaining anonymous. Network Hospitality will also use the aggregate data to identify employment trends across different industries, 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 in countries outside the European Economic Area.
When you ‘apply online’, we store some information about you in your 'My Caterer' area, but it is protected by your password and may only be accessed by you. It does not form part of our Network Hospitality candidate database and cannot be searched or accessed by Network Hospitality customers. You can delete your 'My Caterer' account at any time. Your CV can only be viewed by a Network Hospitality customer if you have consented to this within the profile section.
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.
Please note that Network Hospitality reserves the right to remove from our database, CVs which include any content that we consider to be illegal or offensive.
