How long we hold your Personal Data for:

We retain your personal data for as long as we require to accomplish the purpose for which we collected it in the first place. This may be for an ongoing purpose. To clarify, if you are a candidate or a prospective candidate, we may retain your personal data for a prolonged period as it is, given the nature of our business, our intention to build longer term relationships with candidates/potential candidates in order to support longer term career opportunities that may arise.

We retain some personal data for a longer duration than for others. When deciding on the appropriate period of retention we consider a number of factors such as for the reason for processing your personal data, including any legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements, the type of personal data we are holding, and the potential risk of harm to you from the unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data.

Your rights regarding the personal data we hold about you:

You have a number of rights under GDPR law. These include asking us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data.

Additionally, you can object to us processing your personal data in certain circumstances (particularly where we don’t need to process your personal data to meet a contractual or legal requirement).

These rights may be limited if, as an example, complying with your request would reveal personal data about another person and thereby infringe their rights, or if you requested us to delete information which we are required by law to keep.

In non-ideal circumstances, if you have previously written to us requesting that your data is removed or clicked on an opt out link (to which we would have complied with your request), it is possible that your personal data may be recaptured from an unconnected source, or third-party public source such as LinkedIn or job boards. Whilst we endeavour to ensure this does not happen there may be instances, should this occur, we would appreciate your understanding.
