Why we process your data

The Company will collect your personal data and will process your personal data for the following purposes:

• Emergency Contacts – to contact you in the event of an accident or emergency affecting the individual who provided your details
• Referees – if you were put down as a referee by a candidate or prospective employee. We will contact you to take up a reference

The law on data protection allows us to process your data for certain reasons only:

• where something is done in the public interest.

All of the processing carried out by us falls into one of the permitted reasons.

We collect data so that we can carry out activities which are necessary for our legitimate business interests and the interests of our candidates. These include:

• If you have been put down by a Candidate or a prospective member of Staff as one of their referees, we use your personal data in order to contact you for a reference. This is a part of our quality assurance procedure and so we deem this to be necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation offering recruitment services and employing people ourselves.
• If a Candidate or Staff member has given us your details as an emergency contact, we will use these details to contact you in the case of an accident or emergency. This is also in the legitimate interests of both the candidates and the emergency contact.

We believe that processing your data in this manner is a necessary, proportionate and reasonably expected outcome of the legitimate interests and activities of the Company and benefits all parties involved whilst having a minimal impact on your privacy and rights.

Where one of these reasons applies we may process your data without your consent.
