The personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself when completing an online form and when you send us email we will record your email address for future correspondence.
We use the information we collect for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Statement. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, unless authorised or required by law. Generally we will only use your personal information: • To maintain your relationship as a customer of The Veterinary Map • To direct Enquiries from Job Seekers to the relevant employer • To provide the services you have requested from The Veterinary Map • To administer and manage those services. • To answer your enquiries.
All supplied credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s (Stripe’s) database. After a transaction, your credit card or bank account details are not stored on our servers.
If you post your Employer or Educator details on The Veterinary Map, please note that although The Veterinary Map expressly prohibits the scraping of its Site, any profile you post publicly is public information and the content may be copied by a third party in violation of these terms.
When an Employer unsubscribes an account, the Veterinary Map may leave the profile visible unless expressly requested to remove the profile. If the profile is removed, the Employer will no longer have access to any of the data which previously provided under that account name. If the Employer uses the same email address to set up a new account, new data will have to be entered. The Veterinary Map reserves the right to keep any materials in a closed account as necessary to preserve and protect its rights as allowed by law (for example, to preserve records of a dispute) or to comply with its obligations under local law (for example, to keep an email address). A closed account does not mean that all of the data is removed from our systems, although it will not be readily available under the Candidate’s original account name.
Employers or Educators may disable their account, however The Veterinary Map must preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with its obligations under law. When a Candidate creates or uploads a resume on The Veterinary Map, the resume is intended to be kept private, and are only made available by the Candidate once the Candidate has initiated an Enquiry. For job Enquiries which the Candidate submits through or as a result of The Veterinary Map, please note: 1) that job applications and materials may be controlled by an employer, and The Veterinary Map depends on the Employer or the Employer’s agent to provide The Veterinary Map with the correct destination for all applications. The Veterinary Map has no liability for such Enquiries or other contact, or dealings that result from such Enquiries or other contact. If you do not wish to send your application materials in this manner, you should send them directly to the employer.

Security
The Veterinary Map aims to use reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the Personal Information under our control.

In addition, please note that emails, messages sent via your web browser, and other similar means of communication with other users, are not encrypted.

Please also be aware that we may use 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 service 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 Information, by these companies.
