1. Data we collect

We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, contact details, CV, employment history and the contents of your enquiries — as well as limited technical data (such as IP address and browser type) when you use this website. For clients, we process business contact details and information relevant to a search.

2. How and why we use it

We use personal data to provide recruitment and search services, respond to enquiries, match candidates to roles, and meet our legal obligations. Our lawful bases are:

• Legitimate interests — to operate our recruitment business and contact relevant candidates and clients.
• Consent — where you have asked us to represent you or contact you about opportunities.
• Legal obligation — to comply with employment, tax and regulatory requirements.

3. Sharing your data

We share candidate information with client organisations only with your knowledge in the context of a relevant role. We may also use trusted service providers (such as IT and email providers) who process data on our behalf under appropriate contracts. We do not sell personal data.

4. International transfers

As we operate across the US, EMEA and APAC, your data may be transferred outside the UK. Where it is, we put appropriate safeguards in place (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent) to protect it.

5. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above — typically for the duration of our relationship and a reasonable period afterwards — unless a longer period is required by law. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

6. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

7. Cookies

This website uses only essential cookies required for it to function. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in future, we will ask for your consent first.
