Terms of Use and Privacy
Policy
This document (“TERMS”)
declares the undertakings by EnergyJobSites.com (“COMPANY”)
in relation to its handling of data collected (“YOUR DATA”) from the client
(“YOU”).
By accessing and using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Data Collection
The COMPANY undertakes to collect Your Data
by means that are:
- fair;
- legal; and
- transparent.
If you visit the COMPANY’s
web site,
your web browser automatically discloses, and the COMPANY’s
web server automatically logs, the following information: the date and time,
the IP address from which you issued the request, the type of browser and operating
system you are using, the URL of any page that referred you to the page, the
URL you requested, and whether your request was successful. This data may or
may not be sufficient to identify you.
Any additional data that you provide, e.g.
in a web form,
may also be logged. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.
Any additional data that your web browser automatically
provides may
also be logged. This will be the case, for example, if your browser has
previously been requested to store data on your computer in 'cookies' and submits them each time
you request a web page within a particular domain (such as EnergyJobSites.com).
This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.
If you disclose personal data to the COMPANY
in conjunction with an identifier such as your name or your credit card details, the COMPANY will collect Your Data. Moreover,
any data that becomes available to the COMPANY through any of the means described
in the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated with that identifier,
and hence become Your Data.
Subject to the qualifications immediately below,
the COMPANY undertakes to collect Your Data from you and not from other parties.
This undertaking is qualified as follows:
- where the COMPANY reasonably considers that the protection
of its financial interests requires that it gather Your Data from other sources,
or from additional sources. This applies in particular where the COMPANY has
a lending exposure to you, and seeks information about your creditworthiness;
- where the COMPANY reasonably considers that its capability
to deliver quality services to you will be materially enhanced by gathering
Your Data from other sources. This applies in particular to consumer profile
data.
Where the COMPANY collects Your Data from sources
other than you,
it undertakes:
- to do so only by legal means;
- to do so only with your Consent;
and
- to declare to you what sources it uses, and under what
circumstances.
- the COMPANY undertakes to declare the purpose of collection in a manner
which is clear and meaningful, and to avoid vague, highly inclusive statements
such as 'to support our operations'.
Data Security
The COMPANY undertakes to store Your Data in a manner that ensures
security against unauthorized access, alteration or deletion, at a level commensurate
with its sensitivity.
The COMPANY undertakes to store Your Data only
in jurisdictions where
data protections are at least equivalent to those required under the OECD Guidelines.
The COMPANY undertakes to transmit Your Data in a manner that
ensures security against unauthorized access, alteration or deletion, at a level
commensurate with its sensitivity.
The COMPANY undertakes to implement appropriate
measures to ensure security of Your
Data against inappropriate behavior by the COMPANY’S staff members and contractors.
These include:
- training for staff in relation
to privacy;
- access control, to limit access
to Your Data to those staff and contractors who have legitimate reasons to
access it;
- particularly in the case of
sensitive data, audit trails of accesses, including the identities of staff
and contractors accessing the data;
- reminders to staff and contractors
from time to time about the importance of data privacy, and the consequences
of inappropriate behavior;
- declaration of appropriately
strong sanctions that are to be applied in the event of inappropriate behavior
- clear communication of policies
and sanctions; and
- processes to audit, to investigate and to impose sanctions.
Data Use
Use refers to the application of Your Data
by any part of the COMPANY, or any staff member or contractor of the COMPANY
in the course of their work.
The COMPANY undertakes to use Your Data only
for:
- the purposes
for which it was collected;
- such other purposes as are subsequently agreed between the
COMPANY and You;
- such additional purposes as may be required by law. In these circumstances,
the COMPANY will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate
to You that the use has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by
law; and
- such additional purposes as are authorized by law (in particular
to protect the COMPANY’S interests, e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds
that You have failed to fulfill your undertakings to the COMPANY or have committed
a breach of the criminal law).
- the COMPANY undertakes to use Your Data only if it has
demonstrable relevance to the
particular use to which it is being put.
The COMPANY undertakes to use Your Data in
such a manner as to take into account the possibility that it is not of sufficient quality for the purpose,
e.g. because it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, or out-of-context.
Data Disclosure
Disclosure refers to making Your Data available
to any party other than the COMPANY and You. The term disclosure may include
many different conditions of data transfer, including selling, renting, trading,
sharing and giving.
The COMPANY undertakes to disclose Your Data
only under the following circumstances:
- in the course of business being conducted between
You and the COMPANY, where disclosure
is necessary to a contractor, such as a transport company. Where Your Data
is disclosed in this way, the COMPANY undertakes to exercise control over
the COMPANY’S contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with
these Terms;
- in other circumstances that are directly implied
by the purpose agreed between You and the COMPANY at the time of data collection or subsequently. Where
Your Data is disclosed in this way, the COMPANY undertakes to exercise control
over the COMPANY’S contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant
with these Terms;
- with your consent, or at your
request;
- where required by law, such as a provision of a statute, or a court order
such as a search warrant or sub poena. In these
circumstances, the COMPANY will take any reasonable steps available to it
to communicate to You that the disclosure has occurred, unless it is precluded
from doing so by law;
- where permitted
by law (e.g. the
reporting of suspected breach of the criminal law to a law enforcement agency;
and in an emergency, where the COMPANY believes on reasonable grounds that
the disclosure of Your Data will materially assist in the protection of the
life of health of some person), provided that the COMPANY will apply due diligence
to ensure that the exercise of the permission is justifiable.
- In all cases, the COMPANY undertakes to disclose only
such of Your Data as is necessary in the particular circumstances.
Data Retention and
Destruction
Subject to the qualifications immediately below,
the COMPANY undertakes:
- to retain Your Data only as long
as is consistent with its purpose; and
- to destroy
Your Data when its purpose has expired, and to do so in such a manner that
Your Data is not subsequently capable of being recovered.
This
undertaking is qualified as follows:
- Your Data may
be retained in the COMPANY’S logs,
backups and audit trails within short-term retention cycles
that are devised to protect the COMPANY’S operations. In such cases, Your
Data will be destroyed in accordance with those cycles;
- Your Data may
be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if that is required by law, such as a provision
of a statute, or a court order such as a search warrant or sub poena, or a warning by a law enforcement agency that
delivery of a court order is imminent. In these circumstances, the COMPANY:
- will take
any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that Your Data
is being retained, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and
- will only
retain Your Data while that provision is current, and will then destroy
Your Data;
- Your Data may
be retained beyond the expiry of its purpose if it is authorized by law (in particular
to protect the COMPANY’S interests, e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds
that You have failed to fulfill your undertakings
to the COMPANY or have committed a breach of the criminal law). In these circumstances,
the COMPANY will only retain Your Data while that situation is current, and
will then destroy Your Data.
Access by You to Your
Personal Data
The COMPANY undertakes to provide you with
access to Your Data, subject to only
such conditions and processes as are reasonable in the circumstances. In particular,
the COMPANY undertakes to enable access:
- conveniently;
- without unreasonable
delay; and
- without cost.
The COMPANY undertakes to establish and operate
identity authentication protections
for access to Your Data that are appropriate to its sensitivity,
but practical. This may involve some inconvenience; for example, relatively
straightforward procedures may be involved in order to provide you with access
through a channel that you have previously registered with the COMPANY (such
as a particular email address), but may impose more onerous procedures if you
wish to use some other channel.
In the event that you dispute some aspect of
Your Data, the COMPANY undertakes to take reasonable steps in relation to the
amendment, supplementation or deletion
of Your Data.
You undertake:
- not to seek
access for frivolous purposes, or unreasonably frequently;
- to accept that deletion of some data may not be consistent
with the provision of particular services by the COMPANY to you.
Information about Data
Handling Practices
The COMPANY undertakes to make information
available to you about the manner in which the COMPANY handles your data:
- in general
terms, in a readily accessible manner; and
- in more specific terms, on request.
Where Your Data is disclosed to a contractor,
the COMPANY undertakes to make information available to you on request about
the manner in which the COMPANY’S contractors handle your data.
The COMPANY undertakes to ensure that the information
provided is meaningful, and addresses your concerns.
You undertake:
- not to seek
such information for frivolous purposes, or unreasonably frequently; and
- to accept that the disclosure of excessive detail may
harm the security of Your Data and the COMPANY’S business processes, and may
harm the COMPANY’S commercial interests.
Handling of Inquiries,
General Concerns and Complaints
If you have inquiries, general concerns, or
complaints about these Terms, or about the COMPANY’S behavior in relation to
these Terms, you undertake:
·
to communicate
them in the first instance:
o

·
to promptly provide a response to the communication, in
an appropriate and meaningful manner.
You
further undertake to not pursue the COMPANY through any Regulator or the media:
·
until and unless the COMPANY has had a reasonable
opportunity to respond to the initial communication; and
·
while the COMPANY and you remain are conducting
a meaningful dialogue about the matter.
Enforcement
The COMPANY declares that its undertakings
in these Terms are intended to create legal
obligations, and that those obligations are intended to be enforceable under appropriate laws
in appropriate jurisdictions. These include laws relating to data protection,
privacy, fair trading, corporations and criminal laws.
You undertake to seek enforcement only in a
jurisdiction that is relevant to the
transactions that have taken place between You and
the COMPANY, in particular the jurisdiction in which you live or in which you
performed the relevant acts, and the jurisdiction in which the COMPANY is domiciled
or performed the relevant act
Changes to These Privacy
Undertakings
The COMPANY undertakes:
- not to materially
change these Terms in a manner that reduces the protections for Your Data;
- to take all
possible steps to prevent any company that acquires this company or any of

Data in a manner that reduces the protections for Your Data;

considering making changes to these Terms, or creating more specific Terms
relating to specific services, to consult with appropriate representative
and advocacy organizations;
