You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us at frank.tasker@dcmoperations.com
We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you ask us to provide further services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.
We will always treat your personal data with the utmost respect and never sell it with other organisations for marketing purposes.
For more information on your right to object at any time to your personal data being used for marketing purposes, see ‘Your rights’ below.
Who we share your personal data with
As a recruitment agency our role is to share candidate information with prospective employers with your consent. Outside of this, we will only share personal information with others when we are legally permitted to do so. We do not sell your data to any third parties.
Collection of data alone does not permit us to send information third parties. In order to perform our recruitment services, we will ask for your permission in order to share information to third parties as part of the recruitment process, including passing candidate details to prospective employers. We may also share your details with our accounts, governmental bodies and HMRC and any other professional body if so required.
We routinely share personal data with:
-
third parties we use to help deliver our services to you, eg payment service providers; and
-
other third parties we use to help us run our business, eg website hosts and website analytics providers.
We or the third parties mentioned above may occasionally also need to share personal data with:
-
external auditors, eg in relation to the audit of our accounts, in which case the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations
-
professional advisors (such as lawyers and other advisors), in which case the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations
-
law enforcement agencies, courts, tribunals and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
-
other parties in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency—usually, information will be anonymised but this may not always be possible, however, the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations
If you would like more information about who we share our data with and why, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).
How long your personal data will be kept
We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it is used.
We have a legitimate business interest to keep your personal information securely stored for as long as we need it to provide you with the services you want from us.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our standard retention period for potential candidate data is 7 years.
When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data, we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements.
For tax purposes the law requires us to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Transferring your personal data out of the UK
The EEA, UK and other countries outside the EEA and the UK have differing data protection laws, some of which may provide lower levels of protection of privacy.
It is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal data to countries outside the UK and EEA. In those cases we will comply with applicable UK and EEA laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data.
Under data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK/EEA where:
-
in the case of transfers subject to UK data protection law, the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR
-
in the case of transfers subject to EEA data protection laws, the European Commission has decided that the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy decision’) further to Article 45 of the EU GDPR
-
there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you, or
-
a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law
Where we transfer your personal data outside the UK we do so on the basis of an adequacy regulation or (where such is not available). In the event we cannot or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time we will not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we can do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law.
Any changes to the destinations to which we send personal data or in the transfer mechanisms we use to transfer personal data internationally will be notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Change to this privacy policy’ below.
