At New Scientist Study we make every effort to comply with our obligations under the 1998 Data Protection Act. Additionally, we understand the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your profile information stored about you while using the site.

REGISTRATION DETAILS
Contact and other details you supply as part of the registration process are stored by us and used to provide you with the information you have requested.
PROFILE INFORMATION
When you complete your New Scientist Study Profile, it can be made available for searching, viewing over the internet and downloading by organisation who requests your profile to be sent to them. New Scientist Study does not verify the identity or the nature of the business of such organisations.
You can choose to prevent our customers from accessing your personal details, CV and profile.
You can also choose to make your personal details anonymous, while having your profile available to be searched on by organisations. In this instance, New Scientist Study identifies you to organisations with an ID number. You can then choose to reveal yourself when you reply to the organisation.
IMPORTANT: Your current employer may be a customer of New Scientist Study, or a client of one of our customers. New Scientist Study cannot restrict the customers who access profiles on our database and cannot be held responsible for any eventuality. As part of the registration process New Scientist Study offers you the option of remaining anonymous.
New Scientist Study will also use the aggregate data to identify employment trends across different industries, such as salary averages. This information will not be capable of being linked to any personally identifying information about users.
Some of our customers may be located in countries outside the European Economic Area.
When you 'apply online', we store some information about you in your 'My Account' area, but it is protected by your password and may only be accessed by you. It does not form part of our New Scientist Study candidate database and cannot be searched or accessed by New Scientist Study customers. You can delete your 'My Account' at any time. Your profile can only be viewed by a New Scientist Study customer if you have consented to this within the profile section.
If you choose to create a profile, we rely on you to ensure that your details are kept up to date. You should update your profile at least every six months, particularly if your contact details have changed. You will still be able to log in at any time and update your profile.
Please note that New Scientist Study reserves the right to remove from our database, profiles which include any content that we consider to be illegal or offensive.
