Automated decision-making
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
Data sharing
Why might you share my personal information with third parties?
We will only share your personal information for the purposes of processing your application or in case of personal safety being at risk. All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
We will only share your personal information with trusted third parties, where we have retained them to provide services that you or our clients have requested, such as those listed in the section above “how is your personal information collected”. We may also share your personal information with third parties who perform duties on our behalf such as professional advisors; specialist IT support, supplier and sub-contractors; providers of event management and ticketing services such as eventbrite; outsourced service providers of accounting and banking services and HR and marketing services and any regulatory or legal body that we are obliged to report to.
Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Should our website include links to third party websites, clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control such third party websites and have no responsibility for their privacy statements. We encourage all website users to read the privacy notice of every website he or she visits.
Data retention
How long will you use my information for?
We will usually retain your personal information for a period of five to 7 years. As we support clients over many years, the purpose for which we retain candidate data is often an ongoing purpose. We also retain your personal information for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
We conduct regular data cleansing audits with our clients to ensure that we do not hold data for longer than is necessary. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of personal data and the purposes for which we process such personal data. We also take into account, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. Anybody who wishes to obtain an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, he or she should not hesitate to contact Carmen Maynes.
Rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction
Your rights in connection with personal information
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
· Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. You will not be charged a fee to access such personal data. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request was clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
· Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
· Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
· Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
· Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
