• Our use of Your Personal Data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for Our performance of a contract with You, because You have consented to Our use of Your Personal Data, or because it is in Our legitimate interests. Specifically, We may use and You consent to Us using Your data for the following purposes (though this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Personalising and tailoring Your experience on Our Site;
  • Supplying Our services to You or on Your behalf;

  • Communicating with You periodically in the future, to update Our records and to enquire about Your job situation or requirements;
  • Analysing Your use of Our Site to enable Us to improve Our Site and Your user experience.
• We may also use Your data for marketing purposes which may include contacting You by email, telephone, social media and/or post with information about Our business and Our services.

  • Names, contact details and data relevant to future suitable vacancies will be retained indefinitely for marketing and monitoring purposes and to allow us to contact You periodically (unless You ask us to delete such data);
  • Other data collected or accessed in the course of providing services to You or on Your behalf, whether or not under a contract, will typically be retained for at least 12 months following the conclusion of the last of that contract or project and of any other dealings or communications with You, for which such data may be relevant or useful;

The retention periods in this section are a guide and We reserve the right to assess the appropriate period for retention on an individual basis, provided that We will always comply with our legal obligations.

6. Data storage and sharing

• We only keep Your Personal Data for as long as We need to do so, in order to use it as described above in section 5, and/or for as long as We have Your permission to keep it.
• Electronic data may be stored on secure third party servers which may be based overseas and outside the EEA, and accordingly Your data may be processed on and transferred to and from such servers.
• Data security is very important to Us, and to protect Your data We have taken suitable technical and organisational measures to safeguard and secure data collected through Our Site and otherwise. For example, where We hold electronic data, We store Your Personal Data on secure servers. Whilst We will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard Your Personal Data, You acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason We cannot guarantee the security or integrity of Personal Data that is transferred from You or to You via the internet.
• To the extent necessary for Us to provide any services to You or on Your behalf, or in connection with any contract or order we may enter into with You, We may share Your Personal Data with group companies and/or certain carefully chosen third parties with whom we engage from time to time for such purposes alone. For example, these may include access to and provision of third party software, data storage and backup facilities, payment processing and marketing. In some cases, such third parties may require access to some or all of Your data.
• We may also share Your Personal Data with our third party IT contractors, for the purpose of them managing and improving our IT systems and Our Site.
• Where We share Your Personal Data with such third parties, We will take reasonable steps to ensure that Your data will be handled safely, securely, and in accordance with Your rights, Our obligations, and the obligations of the third party under the law.
• Subject to the remainder of section 6, We will not share any of Your data with any other third parties for any purposes.
• In certain circumstances, We may be legally required to share certain data held by Us, which may include Your Personal Data, for example, where We are involved in legal proceedings, where We are complying with legal obligations, a court order, or a governmental or regulatory authority.
• We may compile statistics about the use of Our Site including data on traffic, usage patterns, user numbers, sales, and other information. All such data will be anonymised and will not include any personally identifying data, or any anonymised data that can be combined with other data and used to identify You. We may from time to time share such data with third parties.
• In the event of the transfer of all or any part of Our business, any Personal Data that You have provided will, where applicable, be transferred along with that business and the new owner or controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by Us.
