Who We Are

This Privacy Policy is for this website – https://www.ecologyjobs.co.uk – operated by Conservation Careers Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”). It governs the privacy of its users (“you”, “your”) who choose to use it.

At Ecology Jobs, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors. We want you to know that we are not in the business of selling, renting, or trading email lists with other companies and organisations for marketing purposes.

In this Privacy Policy, we explain when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited circumstances in which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

Types of Data We Collect

When someone visits www.ecologyjobs.co.uk, we use a third-party service – Google Analytics – to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to understand things such as the number of visitors to different parts of the site.

This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone personally. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
