Your CV and personal information will be kept in our database and will only be accessible by Finders Recruitment Consultants or third parties, provided you have expressly given your authorisation to submit your data in application for a position with a Client. The only other person having access to your data is yourself (see above), should you wish to modify or delete any data.
Finders SA will advise you on a regular basis of any potential job openings that could be of interest to you. You have the right to opt-out of receiving such information at all times.
Finders SA will advise you via mailing of any relevant or interesting events they may be participating in or think you may be interested in participating. You may at any time request to opt-out from these mailings.

In securing a reference about one of our Candidates, we may process your contact details (such as name, e-mail address and telephone number).
