We may use your personal information:
We use AI-based tools, including our assistant Edith, to help process your CV and profile information. This may include analysing your skills and experience to suggest relevant jobs, or helping you understand how your background matches a role you're interested in.
These tools process your information on our behalf and under our instructions.
We do not use AI to make solely automated decisions about your job applications that have a legal or similarly significant effect on you without human involvement.
The law only allows us to use your personal information in certain limited circumstances. We have listed these below and what information they allow us to process.
With your agreement we may:
We may use your information to comply with a contract that we have entered into with you:
We may provide you with marketing information about our own products and services similar to those that you have purchased or enquired about (unless you tell us to stop).
Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
Under this legal basis, we may provide you with marketing information about our own products and services similar to those that you have signed up for or enquired about (unless you tell us to stop).
We do this when we have to comply with legislation such as tax laws.
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.
We may provide you with information about products, services, special offers, and other news where we feel these may interest you.
Depending on what contact information you have given to us, we may contact you by email or post. We will only do this where you have consented to receiving such information from us, unless it is information about products and services which are similar to those you have signed up for or enquired about in which case we will send you that information under our legitimate interests as a business described above (unless you tell us to stop).
You can opt out of such marketing at any time and if you wish to do so, please contact us.
With your consent we will make your 'CV Profile' available to hiring employers and recruitment agencies. If you want to see the current list of employers and recruitment agencies, please see here.
When you submit your information you are given a choice as to whether you want your details to be visible to companies advertising on our website, our options are:
In providing our website services, we are not a recruitment agency and we provide our website and services to you free of charge to allow a simple and easy way to access your future job. As such in relation to applications made and CV Profiles created on our website, we do not have any control over how an employer or recruitment agency deals with your information once they have downloaded it from our database and they make their own decisions as to what to do with your personal information. We do ensure that any organisation who accesses your information has signed up to our website terms and conditions for employers and recruitment agencies requiring that they deal with your information safely and securely and that they comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and any subsequent UK legislation.
If you have indicated to us that you wish to apply for jobs overseas, then we may provide your information to organisations who are not subject to the same data protection legislation that we have in force in the UK. In these cases, we only deal with organisations who have agreed to deal with your information in line with GDPR and UK legislation.
In order to provide your account, our services and our website we may have to allow our trusted partners to have access to your personal information. These organisations include:
We work with the following organisations:
Some of our external third parties listed above are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the UK.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.
We may have to disclose your personal information to third parties:
Our site may contain links to websites owned by other organisations. If you follow a link to another website, these websites they will have their own privacy policy. We suggest that you check the policies of any other websites before giving them your personal information as we cannot accept responsibility for any other website.
We are committed to ensuring that our suppliers have appropriate technical, administrative and physical procedures in place to ensure that your information is protected against loss or misuse. Where we have the option to store your personal data in the EEA, all personal information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or on secure servers operated by a third party located in the EEA. The only exception to this is where we work with third party service providers listed above that are based in the USA.
All third parties who provide services or software to us are required to sign a contract requiring them to have appropriate technical, administrative and physical procedures in place to ensure that your information is protected against loss or misuse.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
We will store your CV Profile (which includes your name, email address, employment history and any other information you have provided in your CV Profile) for as long as you wish us to.
At any time you can login to add to it, edit it or remove it completely.
If you chose to send us information via email, we cannot guarantee the security of this information until it is delivered to us.
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 who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
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.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us or write to us at the address above.
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 could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
If you make a request to us under this Privacy Policy and you are unhappy with the response, you can ask for the request to be reviewed under our internal complaints procedure. Our internal complaints procedure allows your request to be reviewed by Managing Director who will do their best to try and resolve the issue.
If you have been through the internal complaints procedure and are still not happy with the result, then you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. They can be contacted as follows:
