Eternity Consultants (HK) Ltd (“Eternity”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our candidates, clients and other users of our websites and services.

Where you provide us with your personal data, in person, by email or through this website, we will endeavor to ensure that such data remains private and is only used in accordance with this policy. By providing us with your personal data, you also consent for us to collect, hold, use and disclose your personal data in accordance with this policy. Eternity must comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance in Hong Kong.

1. Collection of Personal Data

Eternity may collect your personal data from you, including (without limitation) your name, contact details, qualifications, work history, your right to work in a particular country, languages spoken, professional memberships and accreditations, your work objectives and other data from your CV. If you are to be considered for a particular position, we may also collect references from your nominated referees. All the personal data we collect is held, used and disclosed for the purposes set out below.

3. Privacy on Our Websites

(a) Submitting Your Curriculum Vitae (“CV”) and Applying for Jobs
You may submit your CV to Eternity via this website, either for general consideration by our recruitment consultants for positions as they arise or to apply for a specific advertised job. This database, including your personal data, can be accessed by any of our recruitment consultants. You can update your CV at any time, simply by following the same procedure to submit a new CV via our websites.

(b) Aggregate Information About Website Visitors
We gather information and statistics about all visitors to our websites, including the most frequently accessed pages and most frequently used services. We only use such data in aggregate form (that is, the information does not identify any one individual). This information helps us determine the most beneficial parts of our websites and ways in which we can continually improve our online services to create a better overall experience for our users.

4. Access to Personal data

You may request that Eternity stops using your information and contacting you and we will comply with your request. However, if this involves a request for deletion of your file, please be aware that we may not be required or able to do so, particularly where your file also holds information about our clients. Where permitted to do so, we may charge an administrative fee for access and updating requests.

5. Security

Eternity takes reasonable steps to keep personal data secure, accurate and up to date. The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, while we seek to protect your personal data by implementing digital security systems in various parts of our website, Eternity cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access or use of that information. Where we have links to websites outside the Eternity, we cannot ensure that your privacy will be protected in accordance with this policy. You should consult these other websites’ privacy policies as we have no control over them and are not responsible for any information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.

6. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Eternity may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. We suggest that you visit our website regularly to keep up to date with any changes.
