Sensitive personal data

We acknowledge the sensitivity of special categories of data such as information about health and criminal convictions, and will normally only ever process it when necessary to provide you with a safe place of work, to safeguard children or other vulnerable people, or to comply with legal or industry-specific requirements. We will only process sensitive data with your express consent, unless the processing of your sensitive personal data is necessary for other reasons permitted by law. Please do not disclose any sensitive personal data about yourself to us unless we request it or it is essential to do so. Unsolicited personal data will be deleted.

We may also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

Where we collect or process any other categories of personal data (including sensitive personal data) about you that are not listed above, we will send you a separate Privacy Notice regarding the processing of such data by us.

If you fail to provide personal data

If you fail to provide with personal data when requested, we may not be able to provide you with work-finding or recruitment services.

4. 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 we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
  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.

In certain circumstances we are required to process certain categories of personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations under relevant legislation, including the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 and other relevant tax, social security or other legislation.

Where no contractual or legal obligation exists, we may still need to process your personal data in order to pursue our legitimate business interests. Our business involves providing work-finding and recruitment and related services and so we may need to process your personal data in order to pursue our legitimate interests in achieving this. We may also need to retain personal data in case we need to establish or defend a legal claim. We will balance our legitimate interests against your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests and expectations.

We may rely on your consent in certain circumstances, for example to process your data for the purposes of sending you direct marketing by email or SMS (text message), to use cookies when you visit our website, or to process sensitive personal data.

In exceptional circumstances, we may rely on vital interests as the lawful basis for processing your personal data, in life or death situations.

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.

5.  Disclosures of your personal data

We may have to share candidates’ personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

Your personal information will be processed by our staff and our subcontractors (including IT providers) and will be provided to appropriate third parties such as potential hirers and intermediaries in order to provide you with work-finding services or to potential candidates in order to provide you with recruitment services. Please let us know if you do not want your personal information to be disclosed to a particular third party or category of third parties.

We may also share your personal details with your previous or current employers or other third parties identified by you to us as potential referees.

We may be required by law to share certain categories of candidates’ personal data with tax authorities and other government agencies.

We may use a third party organisation to check candidates’ references, criminal records, employment history and qualifications or to operate our payroll. We will need to provide them with certain categories of your personal data and they will be under an obligation to process it as instructed by us and in accordance with relevant data protection legislation. We may also need to provide certain categories of personal data to your pension provider, if appropriate.

We may also need to share your data with our professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants.

We may also share your personal data with 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 notice.

We will not share your personal data with any other organisation unless it is necessary and in connection with providing our work-finding and recruitment services.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers 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.

6.  International transfers

Your personal data will be stored within the European Economic Area (EEA) on either local or cloud-based servers and will be subject to technical and organisation safeguarding protection measures. The EEA comprises the EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Some categories of data may be transferred to organisations outside the EEA, including Interactive Manpower Solutions Private Limited in India. If it is necessary to transfer your data to a country outside the EEA to assist us in providing work-finding and recruitment services, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is subject to the same protection as that provided by the EU and that it is subject to technical and organisational safeguarding protection measures, as follows:

We will only transfer your personal data to organisations located in countries outside the EEA, if the organisation:

is based in a country which has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission, or

has entered into an agreement with us which contains specific contract clauses approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection that it has in Europe.
For further details, please see the following:

European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries

European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

7.  Data security    

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties on a ‘need to know’ basis. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

 We will only transfer personal data to a third party if they agree to comply with those procedures and policies, or put in place adequate measures prior to receiving it. Maintaining data security means guaranteeing the confidentiality, integrity and availability (for authorised purposes) of the personal data.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8.  Data retention

For how long will you use or retain my personal data?

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

By law we have to keep certain information about candidates for between 1 and 7 years. Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may also need to retain data for up to 7 years in order to ensure that we can meet our contractual obligations to you.

As we place candidates in domestic settings, where candidates may work with children or vulnerable people, we may need to keep records about placements, candidates and clients for up to 21 years, in case of a later legal claim by a minor. In most cases, however, we will not need to keep personal data for this length of time.

As a general rule, if you have been placed by us, we will not retain data of your data for more than 21 years from the date of registration or the date of last placement (whichever is later) unless we have continued to have meaningful contact with you over the preceding 2 years.

If you have not been placed by us, we will not keep your data for more than 2 years from the date of registration or the date when we last had meaningful contact with you (whichever is later).

 In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to: 

• request access to personal data we hold about you;
• object to the processing of your personal data;
• ask to have inaccurate data held about you removed or restricted;
• ask to have inaccurate data held about you or corrected;
• if processing of your personal data is based only on consent, to withdraw that consent;
