Privacy Policy

At Reed Elsevier, we make every effort to comply with our obligations relating to the collection and storage of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). In particular, we understand the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your CV and other information collected from you while using the site.

As part of this application process, Reed Elsevier will collect information about your skills and interests, which will be matched against our current job requirements. If a match is found in the online preliminary screening, you may be invited to complete an online assessment that measures your experiences and accomplishments as well as your attitudes and preferences on various work-related subjects.

The profile created from this assessment will be stored in the Reed Elsevier candidate database, which is hosted in the United States of America. You will be able to access, correct, update, modify and delete your data on the Reed Elsevier candidate database. You may withdraw from active candidacy for employment by Reed Elsevier at any time by advising us at careerqueries@reedelsevier.com. Reed Elsevier will retain your data for up to two years from the date it is last actively used, as required by applicable laws.

While your record remains active we will use the data you provide to assess potential matches to vacancies in our organisation, and to send you announcements relating to employment opportunities available in Reed Elsevier for which we believe you may be suitable.

For these purposes Reed Elsevier may share your candidate record and Personal Information with other Reed Elsevier companies and employees located in our offices around the world. In the event that any Reed Elsevier company ceases to be part of the Reed Elsevier Group plc group of companies that company will continue to have access to your data and will continue to comply with this statement. By entering the application process you consent to this and recognise that such other countries may not provide an equivalent level of protection as the data protection laws in your home country.

If you are considered for employment by any Reed Elsevier company that company may share your Personal Information with other companies acting on Reed Elsevier’s behalf to provide employment verification services, such as background checking organisations or assessment test providers. Reed Elsevier may also share your Personal Information upon request from a law enforcement agency or as appropriate in connection with a legal requirement, such as a court order or regulatory obligation.

Reed Elsevier will not trade, rent or sell or share your Personal Information to other third parties and will not, except as specifically provided in this statement, share your data with any third party. Reed Elsevier may contact you at any time during your candidacy for employment. If you no longer wish to be contacted you are able to unsubscribe to mailings via the database at any time.

Candidates should be aware that providing false information during any of the steps of the application process may lead to rejection of the application or termination of any subsequent employment. Additionally, candidates may be required to produce original documents to verify employment eligibility & identification.
