Privacy Policy

We may collect the following information:

• Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and any details you include when you fill in a contact form, send us an email, submit a CV, or sign up to our mailing list.
• Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you use the site. We collect this through cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies" below).

We use your personal data to:

• respond to your enquiries and provide the services you've requested
• consider you for roles or projects, where you have submitted a CV or expressed interest
• send you news, insights and updates, where you have opted in to receive them
• improve our website and understand how visitors use it
• meet our legal and regulatory obligations

We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:

• Consent – for marketing emails and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Contract – where we need your data to provide services you've asked for or to take steps before entering into an agreement with you.
• Legitimate interests – to respond to business enquiries, manage client and candidate relationships, and improve our website, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation – where we must keep or share information to comply with the law.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third parties who help us run our business, such as:

• website hosting and IT service providers
• email marketing platforms [e.g. Mailchimp]
• analytics providers [e.g. Google Analytics]
• professional advisers such as accountants and legal advisers

With your consent, we may also share candidate details with prospective clients in connection with a role. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above. As a general guide:

• enquiries: up to [2] years after our last contact
• client records: [6] years after the end of our relationship, for legal and accounting purposes
• candidate/CV information: up to [2] years, unless you ask us to delete it sooner
• marketing data: until you unsubscribe

Our website uses cookies to make it work properly and to help us understand how it is used. Essential cookies are needed for the site to function. We will only set analytics or marketing cookies with your consent, which you can manage through our cookie banner or your browser settings. [Link to cookie policy, if separate.]

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you
• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
