  • To meet legal or regulatory requirements.

We will never sell your data to third parties.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity – when we need to process data to perform a contract or pre-contractual steps.

  • Legitimate interests – when processing is necessary for our business operations and does not override your rights.

  • Consent – where you have given explicit consent (for example, to receive marketing).

  • Legal obligation – where we are required to comply with UK law.

5. Sharing your information

We may share data with trusted third-party providers who help us deliver our services (for example, IT, email hosting, or analytics partners). All such providers are bound by data protection agreements to keep your information secure and confidential.

We will never share personal data outside the UK unless adequate protections are in place in line with UK GDPR requirements.

6. How long we keep your information

We keep personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Typically:

  • Client and project records are retained for up to 7 years.

  • Candidate information is retained for up to 2 years or until you ask us to delete it.

You can request deletion of your data at any time (see section 9).

7. Security of your information

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including password-protected systems, restricted access, and secure cloud storage. However, no transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed as fully secure, so you share information at your own risk.

8. Cookies and website analytics
