We may obtain your personal data directly from you (e.g. in a Curriculum Vitae, application or registration form, via our website, or in correspondence, a meeting or telephone call), a hirer, the third party company we engage to provide payroll and administration services on our behalf.

5. How and why we use your personal data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where it is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

6. Sensitive personal data

We do not intend to collect any “special categories of personal data” (such as information which reveals your political, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, race or ethnic origin or information relating to your health). However, to the extent that you do provide us with any special categories of data, we will only use that data for the purposes of our relationship with you and providing our recruitment services to you. This may be for one or more of the following reasons:

  • with your explicit consent (in limited circumstances);
  • where we need to carry out our legal obligations or exercise rights in connection with employment;
  • where the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine or for assessing your working capacity;
  • where it is needed in the public interest, such as for equal opportunities monitoring or in relation to our occupational pension scheme.

7. If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law or in order to perform a contract to which you are a party, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract. In this case, we may have to cancel the contract, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

8. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share personal data with hirers or other third parties in connection with the provision of our recruitment services.

We may also disclose personal data to:

  • third party service providers who process data on our behalf, such as:
    • outsourced payroll services;
    • IT support
    • Carrying out referencing for Airport passes
  • professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers for the purpose of providing consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services to us;
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances;
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all our data processors to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our data processors to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

9. International transfers

We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

10. Data security

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

11. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

12. Your rights in respect of your personal data

You have certain rights in respect of the personal data that we process about you (where we determine the purpose and means for which that personal data shall be processed):

  • the right to request access to the personal data that we hold about you and how we process it;
  • you may have the right in accordance with applicable data protection law to have personal data we hold about you rectified or restricted;
  • you may, in some circumstances, have the right to have personal data we hold about you deleted (although note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request);
  • in some circumstances, you may have the right to receive or ask for your personal data to be transferred to a third party;
  • you have the right to object to how we process your personal data where that processing is based upon legitimate interests and there are no compelling grounds for the continued processing of that data;
  • where we are processing personal data relating to you on the basis that we have your consent to do so, you may withdraw your consent at any time (this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent). If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above in respect of your personal data, please contact us at 1st Floor Richmond House, 105 High Street, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 1DD

We may ask you to verify your identity if you make a request to us to exercise any of the rights set out above. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

13. Your duty to inform us of changes

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

14. Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy policy when we make any substantial changes. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal data.

ANNEX

Personal data

Under Article 6 of the GDPR, the processing of personal data (excluding special categories of personal data, in which case see below, and data relating to criminal convictions and offences) shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

  • the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (this may be a legal obligation under EU law or Member State law);
  • processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (as set out in EU law or Member State law);
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child (although this lawful basis is not available to processing carried out by public authorities in the performance of their tasks).

Special categories of personal data

Under Article 9 of the GDPR, the processing of special categories of personal data is prohibited unless one of the following applies:

(a) the data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of those personal data for one or more specified purposes, except where EU or Member State law provide that the prohibition on the processing of such personal data may not be lifted by the data subject;

(b) processing is necessary for the purposes of carrying out the obligations and exercising specific rights of the controller or of the data subject in the field of employment and social security and social protection law in so far as it is authorised by EU or Member State law or a collective agreement pursuant to Member State law providing for appropriate safeguards for the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject;

(c) processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person where the data subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent;

(d) processing is carried out in the course of its legitimate activities with appropriate safeguards by a foundation, association or any other not-for-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade union aim and on condition that the processing relates solely to the members or to former members of the body or to persons who have regular contact with it in connection with its purposes and that the personal data are not disclosed outside that body without the consent of the data subjects;

(e) processing relates to personal data which are manifestly made public by the data subject;

(f) processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity;

(g) processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, on the basis of EU or Member State law which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, respect the essence of the right to data protection and provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject;

(h) processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services on the basis of EU or Member State law or pursuant to contract with a health professional and subject to the conditions and safeguards set out below. Special categories of personal data may be processed for these purposes only when that data is processed by or under the responsibility of a professional subject to the obligation of professional secrecy under EU or Member State law or rules established by national competent bodies or by another person also subject to an obligation of secrecy under EU or Member State law or rules established by national competent bodies;

(i) processing is necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care and of medicinal products or medical devices, on the basis of Union or Member State law which provides for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular professional secrecy;

(j) processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR based on EU or Member State law which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, respect the essence of the right to data protection and provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject.

In order for the processing to meet the requirement in paragraph (b), (g), (h), (i) or (j) above, that it be authorised or have a basis in the law of the UK, it has to meet a requirement in the Data Protection Bill. The Data Protection Bill has not yet been finalised and these sections of the Data Protection Bill may therefore be subject to change before the final text of the Data Protection Bill is agreed. Legal advice on this point should therefore be sought.
