This information includes CV’s, identification documents, educational records, work history, employment and references.

We may also collect sensitive personal data about you. We only collect sensitive personal data from you, and further process this data, where you have provided it and given your explicit consent for us to do so.

 

Where do we collect personal data about you from?

We are a recruitment and executive search business. We continuously expand our talent network and our focus is on building close, long-term relationships with clients and candidates through delivering a high quality, professional, value-adding service. To do our job well, we need to understand the client’s needs and we need to know our candidates well.
To achieve the above, we create detailed profiles about our candidates so as to understand exactly who they are and where they are at in their professional careers. So how do we do this?

The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:

  • Directly from you

This is information you provide while searching for a new opportunity and/or during the different recruitment stages.

  • From an agent/third party acting on your behalf

e.g. Contractors Limited Company.

  • Through publicly available sources

We use the following public sources: LinkedIn, Job Boards

  • By reference or word of mouth

For example, you may be recommended by a friend, a former employer, a former colleague or even a present employer.

 

How and why we use your personal data?

We use your personal data to match your skills, experience and education with potential employers. We will initially collect basic information on you such as contact details, job role and experience, and then pass this on to the client in search of personnel. If you are chosen by the client and go through to the next stage we will then be collecting more information from you at the interview (or equivalent) stage and onwards in that manner.

 

How long do we keep your personal data for?

We keep your information in accordance as follows:

  • Candidate data

6 years from the last contact.

  • Client contact details

6 years from the last contact.

 

Who do we share your personal data with?

Your personal data is shared with the client who initiates a search for personnel. The search for which you are considered, to ascertain if you are a good fit for the available position. We may also conduct checks on you to verify the information you have provided and where we do this, we will seek you consent in advance of sharing your information with third parties who conduct said checks.

We may also share your personal data in the following circumstances:

 

If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.

 

If Lovework or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its candidates will be one of the transferred assets.

To protect the rights, property or safety of our candidates, clients or anyone else. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection, the checking of criminal records and other references.

 

What legal basis do we have for using your information?

For prospective candidates, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in that we need the information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees.

If you are interviewed and submitted as a candidate, then this may involve the processing of more detailed personal data including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you. In that case we always ask for your consent before undertaking such processing.

 

What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?

If you do not provide the personal data necessary, or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, we may not be able to match you with available job opportunities.

 

Do we make automated decisions concerning you?

No, we do not carry out automated profiling.

 

Do we use Cookies to collect personal data on you?

No, we do not use Cookies.

 

Do we transfer your data outside the EEA?

To better match your employee profile with current opportunities, we may transfer your personal data to clients and partners in countries outside the EEA. These countries privacy laws may be different from those in your home country. Where we transfer data to a country which has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards we always have security measures and approved model clauses in place to protect your personal data. To find out more about how we safeguard your information as related to transfers contact us at [email protected]

 

What rights do you have in relation to the data we hold on you?

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

  • The right to be informed

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this policy.

  • The right of access

You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy). This is so you’re aware and can check that we’re using your information in accordance with data protection law.

  • The right to rectification

You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.

  • The right to erasure

This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

  • The right to restrict processing

You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

  • The right to data portability

You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.

  • The right to object to processing

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities).

  • The right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal data with your national data protection regulator.

  • The right to withdraw consent

If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes.

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:

  • Baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or
  • Further copies of the same information.

 

Alternatively, we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.

Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.

 

How will we contact you?

We may contact you by phone, email or social media. If you prefer a particular contact means over another please just let us know.
