contain obligations on both your part and our part and we shall process your data as is necessary for the purpose
of those obligations. For example, in order to process payroll, a national insurance number and bank details will

2. Compliance with legal obligations (regulatory and statutory obligations):

necessitate the processing of personal data. These include the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment
Businesses Regulations 2003, which amongst other things requires us to:

Where we engage a person to work for us (whether directly or as supplied to a Client), there are other statutory
obligations that must be complied with including payroll, tax, social security, HMRC reporting requirements, and
any other law or regulation.
We are also required to comply with statutory and regulatory obligations relating to business generally, for
example complying with tax, bribery, fraud/crime prevention, health and safety and data protection legislation,
and co-operating with regulatory authorities such as HMRC or the Information Commissioner’s Office.
3. Our legitimate interests (carrying on the commercial activity of Recruitment Services):

the purpose of our legitimate interests, which include:
- Retaining records of our dealings and transactions and where applicable, use such records for the purposes
of: - Using your personal data to:

cases you may have provided your written or verbal consent to the use of your data for a specific reason.
You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information for a particular purpose at any
stage. However, please note that we may continue to retain, or otherwise use your personal information
thereafter where we have a legitimate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so. Our processing in that
respect will be limited to what is necessary in furtherance of those interests or obligations. Withdrawal of consent
will not have any effect on the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
In addition to the reasons given above, we may also process personal data where otherwise required by law,

the vital interests of you or others.
What if we obtain your personal data from a third party?
Part of our business activity involves researching information relating to individuals for the purposes of filling job
roles. This may include obtaining personal data from online sources, for example we may obtain information from
social media sites such as LinkedIn and job boards, some information being publicly available but others being
from sites or providers to which we subscribe. From time to time we may also receive personal information about
you from hiring organisations, colleagues and former employers, or from persons for whom you have provided
services or been otherwise engaged.
In the course of providing our recruitment service, we may from time to time receive personal data from
regulatory or government authorities such as HMRC, professional bodies or, where applicable, safeguarding
authorities, which we are required to process.
Where information from third party sources is of no use to us, or where you have notified us that you do not want
us to provide you with services, we shall discard it, however we may maintain a limited record in order to avoid
the duplication of process. Where we consider that information may be of use to us in pursuance of the provision
of our Recruitment Services, any processing will be in accordance with this Privacy Notice. You do have the right
to object to processing, please see Section 4 ‘Your rights’.

role, and/or may identify and select individual personal information according to the stored characteristics. For
example, the software may enable us to quickly identify individuals from our database who have specific skills,
e.g. an engineer and exclude individuals whose characteristics do not match particular requirements of a job role.
Where we use software to assist us with our assessment of your suitability for a particular job role and you
consider that any such assessment has been made wrongly or incorrectly, you may ask for an explanation.

that appropriate safeguards are in place. Details relating to specific countries or organisations are available on
