We may highlight applications evaluated as a significant match. All Applications, regardless of this evaluation, are delivered to the recruiter for them to review;
Allow you to participate in contests, prize draws and similar promotions, and to administer these activities. Some of these activities have additional terms and conditions, which could contain additional information about how we use and disclose your Personal Information, so we suggest that you read these carefully;

International Transfers of Personal Information

Personal Information which you supply to us is generally stored and kept inside the European Economic Area.

However, due to the nature of our global business and the technologies required, your Personal Information may be transferred to third party service providers outside the EEA, in countries where there may be a lower legal level of data protection. Therefore, as far as you make your profile searchable to recruiters, a recruiter could also be located outside of the EU/EEA. That means that as part of the contract between you and us, it might be necessary that your profile is accessed from a country that does not have the same level of data protection as the EU or EEA. In such situations, we transfer the minimum amount of data necessary, anonymise it where possible and enter legal contracts to aim to ensure these third parties handle your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the European levels of data protection.

How can you manage or delete Personal Information?

When you access our website online, we store some information about you. This is anonymous and used for statistical purposes.

When you create an account and log-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”.

Your CV can be viewed by US Tax Jobs & Blackden Consulting's customers. This is the default setting. Further, when your profile is searchable your application activity (e.g. number of applications, job titles, locations & salaries) will be visible to these customers. Such visibility can also be provided through browser plugins or other software that we or our group companies offer if our customers visit certain social media websites about you. This is also the default setting.

As a registered candidate, if you decide to exercise your right to erasure under Article 17 of General Data Protection Regulation, we will remove your data stored and processed by us, including any applications made or saved for recruiters to view. This would mean there is a chance that the application(s) or any supporting material(s) provided by you for a particular job advert will not be viewed by the recruiter.

Please note that US Tax Jobs reserves the right to remove from our database, CVs which include any content that we consider to be illegal or offensive. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your “My Account”.

You can de-activate or delete your account at any time, make your profile anonymous or choose to not make your profile searchable. To de-activate, please go to your “My Account”.

However, if you would like to permanently delete your account, you can send an email to our Data Protection Officer (DPO) (see below) with the subject line “Permanently delete my information and account”. Please do not forget to tell us who you are.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computers, devices, and applications. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

Security

US Tax Jobs 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.

Our security measures include:

encryption of our services and data;
review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures;

Our website uses cookies and other similar technologies, which may include pixels, plugins, scripts, tags and device fingerprinting (which we collectively refer to as “cookies” in this Cookie Policy).

We use cookies for many reasons, for example to distinguish you from other users of our website or to see how you interact with our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website, it also allows us to improve our website and it allows us to re-engage with our audience through advertisements on other websites.

This Cookie Policy describes:

Our use of cookies;
How you can manage cookies used on our website;
Privacy;
Further information; and
Changes to this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

A cookie is usually a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer, smart phone, tablet or other electronic device. However, they can take a number of different forms, such as pixels, plugins, tags scripts and combinations of these technologies to allow ‘device fingerprinting’. Cookies use information that is transferred to or read from your device’s hard drive. Some cookies may collect personal data about you. You can find out more information about cookies and pixels on the Information Commissioner’s Officer (ICO) website (www.ico.org.uk).

First Party and Third Party Cookies and Pixels

Some cookies and pixels are referred to as “first party” which means they are placed by the website you are visiting – so in our case first party cookies and pixels are placed by US Tax Jobs’ own website. “Third party” cookies and pixels are placed by other organisations (with our permission) via the US Tax Jobs website, such as advertisers and social media platforms. They work by collecting information from your device and passing it directly back to the third party.

Our use of cookies

We want you to understand the different types of cookies that are used on our website. These may be set by us, or by third parties who provide functionality embedded in or connected to our website. We use a variety of types of cookies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary (essential) cookies: these are cookies strictly necessary for the provision of our website to you, for example, cookies that enable website content to be delivered securely and efficiently. Without these cookies, the website may fail to operate properly.
Functionality cookies: these cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region, search preferences, or your login details, if you choose this). Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work as we intend them to.
Performance cookies: these cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Typically, these cookies do not seek to identify a particular visitor and the analysis is done at an aggregate and therefore anonymous level. However, in some cases you may remain identifiable because of the inclusion of one or more pieces of information. For instance, a member ID is assigned to you and we may use this to associate you with your use of the website where we need to resolve a complaint. For more information on how we process any personal data collected on the site, please read our privacy policy.
Targeting & advertising cookies (including ad measurement): these cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests, both on and off our website. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. These cookies are usually placed by trusted third parties (such as advertising networks) who we have a relationship with. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. These third parties combine data that we share with them with data from other sources, such as their own websites. This combined data can then be used to ensure that we can better target our visitors with advertisements for roles on our website that are more relevant to you and others. For more information, visit www.youradchoices.com. Please note that by opting out of receiving targeted advertisements on one browser, device or app will not necessarily opt you out of all such adverts from all browsers, devices or apps.
