We will only share your personal information with third parties (our agents) in the ways that are described in our client agreements and this Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may email information regarding updates to the Service or additional service offerings to our clients in accordance with the terms and conditions of each client’s agreements with us. Other third parties, such as content or third-party service providers, may provide content or services through the Service and may need access to your personal information to provide their services to you. Clients will be using a Service to host data and information.

NRL Ltd will not use or disclose your personal information, except (i) to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you or as requested by you, or (ii) pursuant to law, or (iii) by a court order. Individual client or client candidate records may, at times, be viewed or accessed by NRL Ltd’s authorised employees or agents only for the purpose(s) of (i) providing the Service and related professional services to client or client candidates, (ii) resolving a support issue affecting any of them, (iii) to inspect and resolve a suspected violation of client agreements with a client, or (iv) as may be required by law, as determined by NRL Ltd in its sole discretion, judicial proceeding, legal process or binding court order. We also reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe, in our sole discretion, that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a legal proceeding, binding court order, or legal process.

Personal information may be disclosed or distributed to another party with which NRL Ltd enters, or may enter, into a corporation transaction. If NRL Ltd is acquired in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all its assets, you will be notified via email, on our Site and/or by a prominent notice on our Service of any change in the uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

NRL Ltd may disclose personal information to companies that assist us in providing our Services or that partner with us to provide you their services or content. In this context, any such transfers to third parties are governed by our vendor agreements with them, which provide standards of care for the protection for personal and confidential information that are not less stringent than the standards contained in our client agreements, and in no event, less than a reasonable standard of care. Such third-party companies are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us and/or you and for the purposes for which the personal information was collected. In the case of partners with whom you contract directly, their policies regarding personal information will govern your relationship with them as stated in the applicable agreement between you and the partner and we will not be responsible for any actions or omission of these partners.

Candidates are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user registration and password.

Other things to be aware of

  • The use of cookies - When you use our website, we collect information about your visit and record and store this for future use. Please read our Cookies Policy for further details.

  • ​Data Retention by Us - We may retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services, comply with our contractual and/or legal obligations, resolve disputes and/or enforce our agreements. When the purpose for which NRL Ltd is processing, the personal information is fulfilled, expires or is terminated, NRL Ltd will, upon request, provide our clients with a copy of their personal information stored by us, and NRL Ltd will then either delete or pseudonymise any remaining personal information in accordance with our client agreements.

  • ​Data Security - NRL Ltd employs reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the personal information it processes. When the Service is accessed using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 8.0 or higher, Transport Layer Security (TSL) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption to help provide that personal information is safe, and secure while in transit. NRL Ltd also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the Service in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to protect against interference or access from outside intruders. Finally, NRL Ltd provides individual usernames and passwords that must be entered each time a client logs on. These safeguards help protect against unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and provide for the appropriate use of personal information. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is one hundred percent (100%) secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • ​Links to Third Party Sites - Our Service includes links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those at NRL Group websites. If you submit personal information to any of these sites, your information is governed by the applicable third-party’s privacy policies and we are not responsible for it. We therefore encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any Web site you visit and raise questions directly with these other providers.

  • ​No Services for Children - We do not knowingly collect information from children. To use the Site, you must be the age of legal majority in your place of residence. By using the Site, you hereby represent that you are at least the age of legal majority in your place of residence. We do not use an application or other mechanism to determine the age of users of the Site. All information provided to us will be treated as if it was provided by an adult. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete information associated with a child as soon as practicable if we learn that a child has submitted information about himself/herself to us.

  • ​Severability - The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Privacy Policy in any country shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Privacy Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.

  • ​Security - NRL Ltd will take all reasonable precautions in its protection of data and any misuse, loss, destruction, alteration, and unauthorised access or disclosure.

  • Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation - NRL Ltd will take all reasonable steps to provide that any personal information it processes is limited by the purpose(s) for which such personal information has been collected
