Shortlisting feature

Throughout our websites we offer users the opportunity to:

  • shortlist jobs, indicated by a heart icon; and
  • favourite reviews, indicated by a star icon.

When you first use any of these features for a company we ask for your consent to share your data with the employer you want to follow, shortlist or favourite. For example, if you shortlist a job for Company A, you see a question asking whether you would like to share your data directly with Company A.

If you make no choice we will not share your data with Company A.

If you say no, we will not share your data and we save in that preference and won’t ask you again for that company.  You can change this preference at a later date.

If you agree to share your data with employers, we will pass the following information to them.

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Course
  • University
  • Graduation year
  • Gender
  • The action you carried out, such as shortlisting a job

If at a later date you would like to stop sharing your data with employers, you can change your preference in the ‘Account’ section of our website.

Once we pass the information to an employer, they have obligations and responsibilities to you regarding how they process your data. If you would like the employer to remove or amend the data we have shared with them, please contact the employer directly.

If you are a user or contact working for one of our clients, we will keep information we process about you for as long as necessary to provide you with our services, or contact you about our services.

  • Legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law. We would use this basis, for example, if the police or another similar body issued us with a court order to provide personal data of our users.
  • Legitimate interests: where our use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate business interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (unless your rights or interests override our legitimate interests). We use this basis tto create aggregated, anonymised data as referred to above, to investigate and act against fraudulent or unlawful activity, to administer and protect our business, to resolve disputes or troubleshoot problems, to provide research services for our clients who ask us to promote jobs and other opportunities they offer, and to gain insights into how students view and interact with information promoting those jobs.

Transfer of your information out of the UK and EEA

Some of the processing of your information by our service providers referred to above happens in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK.

Such countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. But we require each of our providers to make sure they apply ‘appropriate safeguards’ designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information. 

If you would like more information about the appropriate safeguards we use, please contact us.
