Personal Data from third-party websites
Adzuna may also be provided with information when you sign up or apply for jobs with third-party websites. This information may relate to activity measurement (for example through the use of a tracking pixel) or where the third-party has obtained your consent to send you job email alerts and contracts Adzuna to do this on their behalf. Your relationship with any third-party website is governed purely by your agreement with them.

Legitimate Interest
Adzuna will process your Personal Data where there is a legitimate interest. This may include, for example, emailing you about changes to our products or Terms & Conditions.

Recipients of Personal Data

Third party service providers
Adzuna may use third-party service providers for operations and to help us protect our users. Examples of such providers are MailChimp and Amazon Web Services. In these case we may need to share your Personal Data with them. These third parties act as Data Processors for Adzuna and can only process Personal Data for the purpose stated in our contract with them. They must also comply with all applicable data protection laws.

Advertisers
If you apply for a job directly through Adzuna then we may send your Personal Data to the Advertiser (for example an end employer or a Post an Ad Advertiser). Advertisers agree to comply with our Terms & Conditions and all of their responsibilities under applicable data protection laws.

International transfer of Personal Data

Some Personal Data we hold is transferred internationally to third parties to jurisdictions including the United Kingdom and the United States.
