1. The information we collect
Jivaro may collect information about you, such as your name, contact details, skills, qualifications, nationality, languages spoken, professional association memberships or accreditations, interests and your employment history and past responsibilities. We may also collect this and other types of personal information, such as references and employment objectives during the course of dealing with you, for example if you are considered for a particular position.
Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information and the consequences of not providing it will be made clear at the time of collection.

to assist us to make Jivaro's services more valuable to our clients and candidates;
