An update to our privacy policy
We wanted to let you know about some changes we’re making to our privacy policy on 1 August.
Trade Me Job Profiles
In December last year we announced a change we’d made to our privacy policy to enable us to begin work on Trade Me Job Profiles, which enables job hunters to display relevant skills and experience to recruiters and prospective employers. Job Profiles is now out in beta with a small group of enthusiastic job hunters.
We’re continuing to roll out functionality, and we’re updating our privacy policy to enable this. Early next month, we’ll be using a third party to scan CVs that you submit to us, to automatically populate your Job Profile with your CV information. When you submit a CV and activate your Job Profile, your CV information will be ready for you to use, saving you time.
We require any third parties to undertake strict precautions to protect your information against unauthorised use or disclosure.
Krux is now Salesforce DMP
In 2015, we introduced a new type of customised advertising, delivered via a data management platform (DMP) operated by a company called Krux. Last year, US-based Salesforce acquired Krux, and they’ve updated the DMP’s name to ‘Salesforce DMP.’ We’ll be updating our privacy policy and help pages to reflect this name change.
The way we use your information hasn’t changed. To learn more about customised advertising on Trade Me, or to opt out, you can check out our ‘Ad Options & your info’ help page.
If you have any questions about these changes, please let us know.
