In some cases, you will have previously provided your personal information to PROInd (if, for example, you are a former employee). If you choose to register or login to a PROInd web site using a third-party single sign-in service that authenticates your identity, and connects your social media login information (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, WhatsApp, Instagram (Facebook INC.) with PROInd, we will collect any information or content needed for the registration or log-in that you have permitted the social media provider to share with us, such as your name and email address.

When you register or submit personal information to PROInd, we will use collected information in the manner outlined in this privacy statement. Your personal information is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain your permission, or unless otherwise required or permitted by law or professional standards. For example, if you register to PROInd web site and provide information about your preferences, we will use this information to personalize your user experience. Where you register or login using a third-party single user sign-in, we may also recognize you as the same user across any different devices you use and personalize your user experience across other PROInd sites, you visit. If you send us a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) to apply online for a position with PROInd, we will use the information that you provide to match you with available PROInd job opportunities.
In few cases where you have registered for certain services, we will store your email address temporarily until, we receive confirmation of the information you provided via an email (i.e., where we send an email to the email address provided as part of your registration to confirm a subscription request).
PROInd generally collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill your request. Where additional, optional information is sought, you will be notified of this at the point of collection.
