We are fully committed to upholding the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the processing of all personal data received from clients, candidates, and visitors to our website. Your privacy and security are our top priorities, and we ensure that all data is processed lawfully, transparently, and fairly.
We collect and process personal data from both clients and candidates to provide our recruitment services effectively. This includes information directly relevant to job placements, client needs, and the recruitment process. We only collect data that is necessary to meet these needs and do not retain any unnecessary information. All data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of GDPR, which allows processing for the performance of a contract or provision of services.
We are registered with the Data Protection Register and handle all personal data strictly in line with the purposes outlined in our registration. This ensures that your data is processed in a compliant and secure manner.
We retain personal data from both clients and candidates only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing ongoing recruitment services. Once the data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted in accordance with our data retention policy.
For any payment-related transactions, we use Stripe, a secure third-party payment processor. We do not store or access any payment details. In line with GDPR Article 6(1)(b), we process payment data solely for the purpose of completing transactions. To comply with tax and VAT regulations, transaction data is retained as per Article 6(1)(c).
To ensure data availability and security, personal data from both candidates and clients may be transferred and stored with third-party providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that any data transferred is protected and backed up in compliance with GDPR standards, to maintain the continuous provision of our services.
As a client or candidate, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you at any time, free of charge. You can also request to have your data corrected or deleted. Please note that deleting your data may impact our ability to provide ongoing recruitment support.
We regularly send email updates to clients and candidates about new job opportunities, recruitment news, and other relevant information. These communications are sent only with your prior consent, as required by GDPR Article 6(1)(a). You can unsubscribe from these emails at any time, but please be aware that opting out may limit the updates you receive about job roles or our services.
We never sell, rent, or trade personal data or mailing lists. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to safeguarding your information.
We may share your personal data with carefully selected and trusted partners who are GDPR-compliant. These include recruitment platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed, payment processors like Stripe, and other services directly related to recruitment, web hosting, and marketing. For a full list of our data processors, please contact us.
In compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, we do not send unsolicited bulk emails (spam). Our communications are targeted and relevant to your interests.
We may send email notifications to registered candidates and clients about job openings, recruitment services, and agency updates. These emails are sent with your consent and are intended to keep you informed about opportunities that may be of interest to you.
