The benefits of data sharing
Why do you need my data anyway?
Data sharing improves our services to you, it also allows our sites to provide personalised and improved content, performance, features and services.
For example, our sites may use and share your previous search or browsing history (e.g. the opportunities you click on) and your resume or profile information to determine relevant search results and job alerts. Data sharing may also help provide career insights such as company reviews, opportunity listing salary data, interview tips and more.
This sharing also helps improve data analysis, testing, research and service improvement across our sites.
Data sharing facilitates better security
Sharing data allows our site to better protect our users. In particular it allows affiliated sites to improve user security and internal operations. It also facilitates troubleshooting and detection and prevention of fraud and spam.
