- CANDIDATE
DATA: The

we have about you, your skillset and your ambitions, the more bespoke we
can make our service. Where appropriate, we may also store your personal

contact you when we have future roles that might be of potential interest
to you or to ask for your help with connecting other Candidates with jobs;
and send you information that we think you may find interesting, for
example helping you to sell your client bank.

may collect other "sensitive" personal data about you under our
role as specialist recruiters in the financial services sector, where
"Fitness and Proprietary" tests are required under the Financial

convictions are required by our client companies as part of their

0208 0044 154. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and
in accordance with the requirements of any applicable laws. Please note that we

we are using your data because we deem it necessary for our legitimate
interests to do so, and you do not agree, you have the right to object. We
will respond to your request within 30 days (although we may be allowed to
extend this period in certain cases). Generally, we will only disagree
with you if certain limited conditions apply.
- Right
to withdraw consent: Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal
data for certain activities (for example, for profiling your suitability
for certain roles), or consent to market to you, you may withdraw your
consent at any time.
- Data
Subject Access Requests (DSAR): You have the right to ask us to confirm
what information we hold about you at any time, and you may ask us to

certain situations, you have the right to request us to "erase"
your personal data. Normally, these include:

data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which we originally
collected and/or processed it
- Where
previously given, you have withdrawn your consent to us processing your
data, and there is no valid reason for us to continue processing

is necessary for the data to be erased for us to comply with our legal
obligations as a data controller

legitimate grounds for our continued processing
We will respond to
your request within 30 days (although we may be allowed to extend this
period in certain cases) and will only disagree with you if certain limited
conditions apply. Examples would be:
- under
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations
2003 which stipulates under Regulation 29 that records of Applicants must
be kept for 1 year after creation where Candidates have been submitted to
Clients

future where your data are collected in unconnected circumstances. If you
would prefer us not to do this, you are free to say so.

notes of our interview are our property, so we are entitled to store these

for erasure.

carry out any further processing activities with it until (a) your reasons for
your objection is resolved; (b) you consent or (c) further processing is
necessary for the protection of our contractual or legal obligations or (d) to
exercise or defend a legal claim.
If we have shared
your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted
processing.
- Right

to another data controller. We will help with this ï?? either by directly

request within 30 days. You may find it is quicker for urgent requests for
you to supply information directly to another data controller.
- Right
to rectification: You have the right to request that we rectify
any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we
have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them
about the rectification unless this is not possible, or this data is no
longer being used by them. Where appropriate, we will tell you which third
parties we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete data to. Where we
think it reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will
explain our reasons for this decision.

where your data are collected in unconnected circumstances. If you would
prefer us not to do this, you are free to say so.
