- Necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests– either we, or a third party, will need to process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests, providing we have established that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms, including your right to have your personal data protected. Our legitimate interests include responding to requests and enquiries from you or a third party, optimising our website and customer experience, informing you about our products and services and ensuring that our operations are conducted in an appropriate and efficient manner;
- Consent – in some circumstances, we may ask for your consent to process your personal data in a particular way.

We conduct regular data-cleansing and updating exercises with our candidates to ensure that (a) the data we hold is accurate and (b) we are not holding data for too long.
Our standard terms of business state that our clients should retain candidate data (such as CVs) for the purposes of the specific role you apply for and that, as controllers of your data, they should inform you if they plan to retain your CV on file for the purpose of notifying you about potential future opportunities, or to otherwise hold or use your data for other purposes.
