Information Collection and Use
First Choice ITHR is responsible for the personal information collected through this website. We will not sell or rent this information to others. First Choice ITHR collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
First Choice ITHR will only process personal data in ways that are compatible with the purpose for which it was collected, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Security
One of our top goals is to make sure that your personal information is kept confidential. This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit personal information via the website, the information is protected both online and offline. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption where appropriate, to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Access to personal information is limited to employees and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes. Access to all of our users' information, not just the information mentioned above, is restricted in our office. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our recruiters, HR administrators or assistants) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.
