The lawful basis for the third-party processing will include:

• Their own legitimate business interests in processing your personal data, in most cases to fulfil their internal resourcing needs;
• satisfaction of their contractual obligations to us as our data processor;
• for the purpose of a contract in place or in contemplation;

We understand our legal duty to retain accurate data and only retain personal data for as long as We need it for our legitimate business interests and that you are happy for us to do so. Accordingly, We have a data retention notice and run data routines to remove data that We no longer have a legitimate business interest in maintaining.

We do the following to try to ensure our data is accurate:

• Our website enables you to manage your data and to review whether the details We hold about you are accurate
• prior to making an introduction, We check that We have accurate information about you
• We keep in touch with you so you can let Us know of changes to your personal data

We segregate Our data so that We keep different types of data for different time periods. The criteria We use to determine whether We should retain your personal data include:

• the nature of the personal data;
• its perceived accuracy;
• our legal obligations;
• whether an interview or placement has been arranged; and
• our recruitment expertise and knowledge of the industry by country, sector and job role.

We may archive part or all of your personal data or retain it on our financial systems only, deleting all or part of it from our main Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) system.

Our current retention notice is available upon request.

Your local Data Protection legislation gives you the right to access information held about you. We also encourage you to contact Us to ensure your data is accurate and complete.

Our legitimate interests in collecting and retaining your personal data are described below:

• As a recruitment business, recruitment agency or consultancy We introduce candidates to clients for permanent employment, temporary worker placements or independent professional contracts. The exchange of personal data of our candidates and our client contacts is a fundamental, essential part of this process.
• In order to support our candidates’ career aspirations and our clients’ resourcing needs We require a database of candidate and client personal data containing historical information as well as current resourcing requirements.
• To maintain, expand and develop our business we need to record the personal data of prospective candidates and client contacts.

Should We want or need to rely on consent to lawfully process your data We will request your consent orally, by email or by an online process for the specific activity We require consent for and We will record your response on our system. Where consent is the lawful basis for our processing you have the right to withdraw your consent to this particular processing at any time.
