We will only use your personal information where we have a lawful basis for doing so under applicable data protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, we may process your personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent
Where you have given us permission to use your personal information for a particular purpose.

Contract
Where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Legal obligation
Where we need to process your information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we will consider the impact of the processing on your rights and interests.

As a recruitment business, we may process information relating to candidates for the purposes of identifying and presenting suitable employment opportunities.

This may include information contained in your CV, employment history, qualifications, professional experience, salary expectations and other information relevant to recruitment.

We may share appropriate candidate information with prospective employers where this is necessary for recruitment purposes and permitted by applicable law.

We will not knowingly provide candidate information to a prospective employer for a purpose unrelated to recruitment without an appropriate lawful basis.

In certain circumstances, we may process special categories of personal data where this is relevant to recruitment or required by law.

This may include information relating to health, disability or other protected characteristics where necessary to support recruitment, workplace adjustments, equality monitoring or legal compliance.

We will only process such information where an appropriate legal condition applies under applicable data protection law.

We may share personal information with:

• Prospective employers and clients where relevant to recruitment
• Service providers who help us operate our business and Website
• Technology and recruitment platforms
• Website analytics and tracking providers
• IT, hosting and security providers
• Professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants and insurers
• Regulators, government bodies or law-enforcement authorities where required
• Other parties where necessary to protect our legal rights or comply with our legal obligations

We require appropriate third parties that process personal information on our behalf to protect that information and to process it only in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

We use technologies that help us understand how visitors use our Website and improve the services we provide.

Our Website currently uses Leadoo technology to help us understand visitor behaviour and interactions, including interactions with website functionality such as chat.

This may involve the use of tracking technologies that recognise a returning visitor or associate activity across sessions.

Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.

You can find further information about the technologies used on our Website in our Cookie Policy.

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are essential for the Website to function. Other cookies may be used for analytics, functionality or other purposes.

Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie controls provided on our Website.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

Because Taylor Hawkes operates internationally and uses technology and service providers that may operate in different countries, your personal information may be transferred to and processed outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your information receives an appropriate level of protection.

This may include the use of adequacy regulations, approved contractual safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period will depend on the type of information and the reason we hold it.

For example, candidate information may be retained while we are actively working with a candidate and for a reasonable period afterwards where there is a legitimate recruitment or legal reason to do so.

We regularly review the information we hold and securely delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

However, no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore take appropriate care when submitting information online.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Request the transfer of certain information to you or another organisation
• Withdraw consent where we rely on consent as our lawful basis
• Object to direct marketing

These rights are subject to certain legal exceptions and limitations.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details below.

We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before responding to a request.

Where permitted by law, we may contact you with information about recruitment opportunities, services or other communications that may be relevant to you.

Where consent is required, we will only send marketing communications where you have provided the necessary consent.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication or by contacting us.

Our Website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

Our Website and services are not directed towards children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children unless there is a lawful reason to do so.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our business, Website, technology or legal obligations.

The latest version will always be made available on this page, together with the date it was last updated.

If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue.
