Other Ways We Use Your Personal Data
We will only use your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with that or those original purpose(s) and need to use your personal data for that additional purpose. If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain why.
If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party.
In some circumstances we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority. We may process this without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.
Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis
We will collect your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with our services. This includes for example, contacting you about job opportunities, assessing your suitability for those opportunities, updating our databases, putting you forward for job opportunities, arranging payments to you and developing and managing our services and relationship with you and our clients.
In some cases we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.
We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. The legal bases we rely upon to offer our services to you are:
Your consent
Where we have a legitimate interest
To comply with a legal obligation that we have
To fulfil a contractual obligation that we have with you
Consent
Where you have expressly provided your consent to receive communications from us, for example, emails and updates on new job opportunities or assignments. You can opt-out from receiving these at any time by selecting “unsubscribe” when you receive these communications from us.
In addition, consenting to the use of non-essential cookies on our site is used to make your experience on our site more seamless by, for example but not limited to, remembering pages you have previously visited and automatically generated forms. Cookies are small pieces of text that are stored by your browser. Each cookie has a name and is associated with a particular site. When your browser sends a request to a site (for example, to download a page, image, or video), the computer that responds (known as a server) may tell your browser to set one or more cookies. When your browser makes further requests to the same site it sends the cookies back to the server. This allows the server to remember you as you browse the site, and provide features such as shopping baskets or password-protected areas. For more information on the cookies we use, see our cookie policy.
Legitimate interest
This is where we have a legitimate reason to process your data, provided it is reasonable and does not go against what you would reasonably expect from us. Where we have relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data our legitimate interests are as follows:
Managing our database and keeping records up to date;
Providing our service to you and our clients;
Contacting you to seek your consent where we need it;
Responding to requests and enquiries;
Giving you information about our service, similar products or services that you have used from us recently; and
Ensuring our service runs smoothly and that we are continuing to improve our services e.g. through surveys.
Legal Obligation
We have certain legal and contractual requirements to collect personal data (e.g. to comply with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, immigration and tax legislation, and in some circumstances safeguarding requirements.) Certain personal data you provide us with, is necessary for us to fulfil our legal obligations as a business. For example (i) verifying your legal and tax status; (ii) appropriate use of Our Site and services; (iii) preventing fraud and security breaches; and (iv) complying with our tax and accounting obligations where needed. Our clients may also require this personal data, and/or we may need your data to enter into a contract with you.
If you do not give us the personal data we need to collect we may not be able to continue to provide work-finding services to you.
Contractual Obligation
Your personal data is necessary for us to manage the contractual relationship with you. It enables us to communicate and process any Assignments, Projects or Roles, and keep you updated with any changes to our terms and policies.
How Long Do We Hold Your Personal Data For?
We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose we collect it. Different laws may also require us to keep different data for different periods of time. For example, the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, require us to keep records for at least one year from (a) the date of their creation or (b) after the date on which we last provide you with services.
If you are a freelancer or an agency worker we must also keep your records for as long as is legally required by HMRC and in case of legal claims. This is currently 6 years unless there is a requirement to extend this period.
Where we have obtained your consent to process your data, we will do so in line with our retention policy. Upon expiry of that period the Company will seek further consent from you. Where your consent is not granted or it is withdrawn we will cease to process your data.
What are your rights?
You have the following data protection rights:
The right to be informed about the personal data we process on you;
The right of access to the personal data we process on you;
The right to rectification of your personal data;
The right to erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances;
The right to restrict processing of your personal data;
The right to data portability in certain circumstances;
The right to object to the processing of your personal data that was based on a public or legitimate interest;
The right not to be subjected to automated decision making and profiling; and
The right to withdraw consent at any time.
Where you have consented to us processing your personal data you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us through the contact details at the end of this policy. Please note that if you withdraw your consent to further processing that does not affect any processing done prior to the withdrawal of that consent, or which is done according to another legal basis.
There may be circumstances where we will still need to process your data for legal or official reasons. Where this is the case, we will tell you and we will restrict the data to only what is necessary for those specific reasons.
If you believe that any of your data that we process is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and correct it where necessary.
Securing your Data
The security of your personal data is essential to us and to protect your data, we take a number of important technical and organisational measures, including the following:
We verify the identity of any individual who requests access to data before granting access. We use Transport Layer Security (TLS, also known as SSL) to encrypt any data you supply to us through our website. Additional technical measures are described at the relevant points in this privacy policy.
Limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, consultants, freelancers, clients and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality and aware of any obligations relating to the use of your personal data by them; and
Procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.
We use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal information. However, you should be aware that the use of email and the Internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information which is transferred from you or to you via email and the Internet.
If you share a device with others we recommend that you do not select the “remember my details” function when that option is offered.
How Can You Access Your Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown below.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We’ll respond to your subject access request within 14 calendar days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You’ll be kept fully informed of our progress.
