Third parties to whom we disclose personal data are required by law and contractual undertakings to keep personal data confidential and secure, and to use and disclose it for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, in compliance with all applicable legislation.

It may sometimes be necessary to transfer personal information overseas. When this is needed information is only shared within the European Economic Area. Any transfers made will be in full compliance with all aspects of applicable Data Protection Laws.

 

Lawful basis of using personal data

Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR says that we can use your data if it "is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (us) or by third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subject (you) which require protection of personal data." You do have the right to object to us processing your personal data on this basis, and if so, please contact us.

 

We process personal information to enable us to provide advice and professional services as an employment agency, to maintain our own records and accounts and to support and manage our employees. We have a legitimate interest to hold personal data.

 

We believe it is reasonable to expect that if you are looking for employment or have posted your professional CV information on a job board or professional networking site, you are happy for us to collect and otherwise use your personal data to offer or provide our recruitment services to you, share that information with prospective employers and assess your skills against our bank of vacancies. We reasonably and legitimately need to do these things to help you and others get the jobs you deserve and also so that we can function as a profit-making business.
