creativepool.co.uk's privacy policy
overview
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, efficient, and
personalised experience. We only collect personal information about you that we consider necessary
for this purpose.
creativepool.co.uk is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We want to provide a safe,
secure user experience.
We will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private, and is
used only for the purposes as set forth herein. The following reflects our commitment to you.
information about creativepool.co.uk visitors
In general, we gather information about all of our users collectively, such as what areas users visit,
what services users access etc. We only use such data in the aggregate, ie. no personal information
specific to a user will be included. This information helps us determine what is most beneficial for our
users, and how we can continually create a better overall experience for our users. If we share this
information it will only be in the aggregate, so that they too may understand how creativepool.co.uk
users, collectively, use our Site, so they may create a better overall experience for you, as well.
information about you specifically
We will not ever pass on your personal information to any other party without your consent.
You are under no obligation to agree to have any of your details shared. In some instances,
such as when you sign up to use a service, enter into a contest, or purchase a product,
we may need more specific information about you, such as name, address, e-mail address,
telephone number, bank account details etc. We may use that information to make you aware of
additional products and services which may be of interest to you, or to contact you regarding site
changes. You will always be given the opportunity to opt out of such activity. Any additional information
we collect is purely to help us to make the Site a better user experience for our users, you will be
informed at every stage why we are collecting data.
general information disclosure
We do not disclose information about your individual visits to creativepool.co.uk, or any personal
information that you provide, to any outside parties, except when we believe the law requires it.
We may record and share depersonalised aggregated information with our partners. If you input
your information on a co-branded registration page creativepool.co.uk is not responsible for the
information that the partner company receives, you should check their privacy policy to ensure your
data is safe.
cv's
By signing up with creativepool.co.uk you are required to put your CV online. This means that any
registered employer will have access to your CV. You have control over how much of your personal
contact information is available for viewing. A valid email address is the minimum contact information
you must display. We use our best efforts to grant access to this database only to hiring employers.
We are not responsible if some other third party evades security measures and gains access to the
database, and, subsequently, your CV. You may remove your CV from our searchable database at any
time. However, recruiters who have paid for access to the database may have retained a copy of your
CV in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy of CV in
these instances.

submitted through this area is greatly appreciated and an important way for you to help us make
creativepool.co.uk a better site. Any review becomes the property of creativepool.co.uk and we reserve
the right to use the information as we see fit, including using it for marketing of the Site. We also

any stage just by logging on to the Site using your username and password. We offer you the ability
to automatically review and change the information you submit to us by logging into the Site and
entering in the new information yourself. Generally, we will not modify your personal information
based on your request because it is very difficult for us to authenticate your account manually.
You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once posted,
you may not be able to change or remove any public postings made on the Site including our
review and forum areas.
cookies
We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of the Site. "Cookies" are small
files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing customised services. We also offer certain
features that are only available through the use of a cookie. We also use cookies to allow you to enter
your password less frequently while you are using the Site. Cookies can also help us provide
information which we tailor to your interests. Most cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they
are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session using the Site. You are always
free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use
certain features on the Site and you may be required to re-enter your password more frequently while
you are using the Site.
security
creativepool.co.uk uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal
identifiable information, including encryption, and where applicable Secure Socket Layers. We treat
data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorised access. We employ many
different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by users inside and
outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist in any business or on the Internet.
The internet is an open system and as such we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties
will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
You should also be aware that there is a chance that your current employer may also have access to
creativepool and therefore be aware of you being on the site. A final note that while every precaution
has been by us to ensure the security of your information. Certain information that you provide may
become publicly available - this is not our intention - and if highlighted to us we will do our uptmost to
ensure that the situation is rectified as quickly and efficiently as possible. Any situation arising from
such a scenario - which would only occur due to missuse of the site or a genuine error on our part
will incur an aggregate liability for the Company to you for all claims arising from this situation is
limited to £0.01.
children
Our services are not available to children and we ask that persons under the age of 18 do not submit
any personal information to us. If you are under 18 years old, you cannot use this Site. This is less to
do with content that is sensitive to younger viewers and more to do with the fact that anyone under 18
is highly unlikely to have the skill set required to join creativepool.co.uk.

outlining any changes. We will also update the changes here so that you will always know what
