For us to provide our employment business, employment agency or consultancy services, we may enter into a contract with you and/or a third party (i.e. a limited company). For us to do this, we will need your details, e.g. name and address. Such contracts have obligations on both parties (you, and us) and we will process your data as is necessary for the purpose of meeting such obligations, e.g. we may need certain information such as bank details, so we can process our payroll and make payments to you.

 

B.    Compliance with legal obligations (to meet relevant regulatory and statutory obligations):

In the provision of our employment business, employment agency or consultancy services, we are obliged to meet certain obligations, for example, those in the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, which amongst other things requires us to process your personal data by:

We also need to comply with our statutory obligations which may include:

Keeping your personal data secure

We take the safety and protection of your personal data very seriously and take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is protected. However, the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure, and therefore we cannot give an absolute guarantee as to the safety of data transmitted to our site or any third party. While any transmission of data is taken at your own risk, we work with our IT and storage providers to ensure they can provide ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services, to make breaches far less likely.

Your data will only be accessed by our staff and third parties where authorised to do so. This will be in circumstances where access is required for us to effectively provide our employment business, employment agency, or consultancy services.

We will work with our IT and storage providers and own internal staff to ensure appropriate organisational and technical measures are taken against any unauthorised or illegal processing of your personal data, including the accidental loss of or damage to it.

We have worked to ensure we have the technology, procedures and appropriate training of relevant individuals to keep your personal data secure and safe from when we collect it until it is no longer processed or required or removed at your request.

Where we share your personal data with a third party, we will only make transfers where they too have appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data secure.

Data Removal

If we believe your data is no longer of use to us, for example, if your skills are not appropriate to the services we offer, or where we feel your data is out of date we will take steps to remove or update your information to ensure it is relevant and accurate in our third-party database.

You may request we remove or update your information as necessary. If your data has not be accessed in three years either through use of our services or where we have not contacted each other, relevant records will be archived as appropriate.

We do not hold personal data for longer than we are required to do so. Generally, we hold information for six years from the last point of engagement. Where we are contractually obliged to do so, where the law requires us, or where your personal data highlights a specialist or niche skillset which is likely lead to engagement or opportunity with one of our clients, we may hold information for longer.

 

Where you do not wish to share your personal data with us

In order for us to meet our legal or contractual obligations, there may be occasions where we request personal data from you in order to provide our employment business, employment agency or consultancy services.

In the event you do not wish to provide us with such personal data, please let us know. In such circumstances it may mean that we are unable to continue to provide you with our employment business, employment agency or consultancy services as the non-provision of such data may lead to a breach of contract we have with you or the party we are engaged with, and you represent.

 

Transferring data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA)

While our business is predominantly based in the UK, we may need to transfer your personal data outside of the EEA should one of our clients, candidates or suppliers require it to do so, as we may be contractually obliged to do so in such circumstances. Where such information is to be transferred, we will do so where there is an adequacy decision from the EU commission, or where there is appropriate data protection legislation in place (e.g. US Privacy Shield). Where there is no such adequacy decision we will take appropriate steps as far as reasonably practicable to understand how the data will be processed, and where we identify any risks, we will try to ensure your data is protected in line with any applicable data protection legislation.
