Our lawful bases

- Legitimate interests: running a recruitment business, matching candidates with roles and managing client relationships, where this does not override your rights and interests.
- Consent, where you have given it, for example when you upload your CV through this website or sign up for job alerts. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, for example when you ask us to put you forward for a role or a client asks us to fill a vacancy.
Who we share it with
- Prospective employers: we share your details with an employer only in connection with a specific role.
- Service providers who process data on our behalf, such as our email, website hosting and database providers. They may only use it to provide their service to us.
We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as it is useful for recruitment purposes and review the records we hold regularly. We delete your information when it is no longer needed, or when you ask us to.
