Introduction

This Website Privacy Statement covers the cookies, tracking and analytical services offered by Harris Federation through the Harris Federation website and any associated domains.

Cookies are bits of data that are stored on your device and sections of our website would not work without these cookies, so cookies are always switched on when you visit the Harris Federation website.

Harris Federation use cookies and tracking to make things easier for you, like remembering which jobs you viewed and which jobs you have started an application for. You can switch off some cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Purpose

This privacy statement tells you:

  • What analytical information we might collect about you, both identifiable and personally non-identifiable, during a visit to our website, or when making an application;
  • How we might use that information as part of our recruitment marketing, job alerts and highly personalised remarketing;
  • When we might use your details to contact you about employment opportunities;
  • What information of yours we might share with others for legitimate and legal reasons to promote our employment opportunities;
  • Your choices about the personal information you give us;
     

What this policy does not cover

Our services sometimes link to services run by other companies, like Gov.UK, the Home Office, DfE etc. but these companies will have their own privacy and cookies policies, so remember that the information you give them will follow their rules and not ours.
 

Protecting this information

We are committed to keeping your information safe and to do this we use third party software to capture, transfer and store your information with the highest levels of security and privacy.

At the same time, no service can be completely secure so if you have any concerns that your account or personal information has been put at risk, for example if someone could have found out your password, please contact us immediately.
