2. Data protection principles

We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

Personal information must be:

• processed lawfully, fairly and transparently;

• collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes;

• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary;

• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;

• retained for no longer than necessary; and

• kept appropriately secure.

3. The information we may collect

The information we collect will depend on your relationship with Eazycrest Recruitment and the services we provide.

• your name, address and contact details;

• your CV and cover letter;

• employment and career history;

• education, training and professional qualifications;

• skills, experience and professional memberships;

• current and previous job titles;

• current or previous remuneration;

• salary or rate expectations;

• career preferences and aspirations;

• preferred location and working arrangements;

• availability and notice period;

• right-to-work information;

• identity documentation where required;

• references and referee details;

• information provided during applications, interviews or other communications;

• information relating to your suitability for particular opportunities; and

• any other information you choose to provide to us.

Clients and prospective clients

We may collect:

• your name;

• job title;

• organisation;

• business contact details;

• recruitment requirements;

• information concerning vacancies, assignments or potential appointments;

• correspondence and communications with us; and

• information relating to our existing or prospective business relationship.

Referees and other professional contacts

We may process information including your name, job title, organisation, contact details and information you provide in connection with a candidate or recruitment process.

Website visitors

When you visit our website, we may collect technical information relating to your visit, which may include:

• IP address;

• browser and device information;

• pages visited;

• referring and exit pages; and

• dates and times of visits.

Further information about cookies and similar technologies is contained in our separate Cookie Policy.

4. Special category and criminal offence information

In some circumstances, we may need to process more sensitive personal information.

This may include information relating to:

• health or disability, including information necessary to make reasonable adjustments;

• racial or ethnic origin, where lawfully collected for equality monitoring;

• religious or philosophical beliefs, where relevant and lawfully processed; or

• other special category information voluntarily provided to us.

We will only process special category information where we have both a lawful basis for processing and an additional condition permitting the processing under applicable data protection legislation.

We may also process information relating to criminal convictions or offences where this is appropriate for a particular role and where we are legally permitted to do so.

Criminal-offence information needs particular care. Current ICO recruitment guidance says a recruiter or employer processing it requires a lawful basis plus the appropriate legal authority or DPA 2018 Schedule 1 condition. Information Commissioner's Office

5. How we collect personal information

We may obtain personal information:

• directly from you;

• when you submit your CV or apply for a vacancy;

• when you register or communicate with us;

• through our website;

• from job boards and recruitment platforms;

• from professional networking platforms such as LinkedIn;

• from publicly available professional sources;

• from clients and prospective employers;

• from referees;

• through referrals or recommendations;

• from recruitment-related service providers; and

• from other legitimate sources relevant to our recruitment activities.

As part of our recruitment and executive search activities, we may identify and contact individuals whom we reasonably believe could be suitable for a particular opportunity, even where they have not previously registered with Eazycrest Recruitment.

Where we obtain your information from somewhere other than directly from you, we will provide the required privacy information within the period required by applicable data protection law.

Current ICO guidance generally requires this information within a reasonable period and no later than one month, or earlier where the organisation first communicates with the individual or first discloses their information. The fact that information is publicly available does not automatically remove that obligation. Information Commissioner's Office

6. How we use personal information

Depending on our relationship with you, we may use personal information to:

• provide recruitment and executive search services;

• identify and approach potentially suitable candidates;

• understand candidates' experience, skills and career preferences;

• assess suitability for vacancies and assignments;

• match candidates with permanent, contract, interim, specialist or executive opportunities;

• communicate with candidates about relevant opportunities;

• manage applications and recruitment processes;

• introduce suitable candidates to clients and prospective employers;

• arrange interviews;

• facilitate communication between candidates and clients;

• obtain references where appropriate;

• undertake appropriate verification or screening where necessary;

• verify eligibility to work where applicable;

• maintain relationships with candidates;

• understand clients' recruitment requirements;

• provide recruitment services to clients;

• develop relationships with existing and prospective clients;

• respond to enquiries;

• administer and improve our website and services;

• maintain appropriate business and recruitment records;

• protect our systems and services;

• prevent and investigate fraud or misuse;

• comply with legal and regulatory obligations;

• establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and

• communicate information about relevant opportunities or services where permitted by law.

7. Our lawful bases for processing

We will only process personal information where we have a lawful basis for doing so.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Legitimate interests

We may process personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Our legitimate interests may include:

• providing and developing our recruitment services;

• identifying candidates who may be suitable for opportunities;

• approaching prospective candidates;

• matching candidates with appropriate roles;

• maintaining professional relationships with candidates and clients;

• understanding and responding to clients' recruitment requirements;

• developing relationships with prospective clients;

• operating and improving our business and services; and

• protecting the security and integrity of our business.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and balance our interests against the potential impact on the individual.

The ICO describes legitimate interests as potentially appropriate where use of information is reasonably expected and has limited privacy impact, but requires organisations to consider and protect individuals' rights and interests. Information Commissioner's Office

Contract

We may process personal information where this is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legal obligation

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Consent

In circumstances where consent is the appropriate lawful basis, we will ask for your consent.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

8. Sharing candidate information with clients

A core part of our recruitment service involves introducing suitable candidates to organisations seeking talent.

Where appropriate, information shared with a client or prospective employer may include:

• your CV;

• employment history;

• qualifications;

• skills and experience;

• remuneration or rate expectations;

• availability; and

• other information relevant to the particular opportunity.

We will only share personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis and will not disclose more information than is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

9. Other organisations we may share information with

Where necessary and appropriate, personal information may also be shared with:

• clients and prospective employers;

• technology and IT service providers;

• website and hosting providers;

• recruitment technology providers;

• reference, screening or verification providers where appropriate;

• professional advisers, including legal and accounting advisers;

• government bodies, regulators, courts or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law;

• parties involved in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; and

• organisations involved in a potential restructuring, merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of our business.

We do not sell your personal information.

Where a service provider processes personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is protected.

10. If you do not provide information

You are not generally required to provide personal information to us.

However, where particular information is necessary for us to provide a recruitment service, progress an application, verify eligibility or comply with a legal requirement, we may be unable to proceed without it.

For example, we may be unable to introduce you for a particular opportunity if we do not have sufficient information to assess and present your suitability for the role.

11. Accuracy of your information

We want the personal information we hold to remain accurate and up to date.

Please let us know if your contact details, employment circumstances, career preferences or other relevant information change.

You can contact us at contact@eazycrest.com to update your information.

12. Data retention

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying relevant legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

When deciding how long information should be retained, we may consider:

• the nature and amount of the information;

• its sensitivity;

• the purposes for which it is processed;

• whether those purposes can be achieved by other means;

• whether you remain an active candidate, client or professional contact;

• whether the information remains relevant to potential recruitment opportunities;

• the potential risks associated with retaining the information; and

• applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Where personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it as appropriate.

13. International transfers

Some organisations that provide technology or other services to us may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will ensure that the transfer complies with applicable UK data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

Where applicable, you may contact us for further information about the safeguards used.

14. Data security

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

Access to personal information will be limited, where appropriate, to people and service providers who need access for legitimate business purposes.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we will require them to handle that information appropriately and securely.

We also maintain procedures for responding to suspected personal data breaches and will notify affected individuals and/or the Information Commissioner's Office where we are legally required to do so.

15. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

For information about the cookies we use, their purposes and how you can manage your preferences, please see our separate Cookie Policy.

16. Marketing and recruitment communications

We may contact candidates about recruitment opportunities that we reasonably believe may be relevant to their experience or professional interests.

We may also communicate with existing and prospective business contacts about Eazycrest Recruitment's services where permitted by applicable law.

Where applicable, you can unsubscribe using the option provided in our communications or contact us at:

contact@eazycrest.com

You have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

The right to object should be brought clearly and separately to people's attention where applicable. Information Commissioner's Office

17. Automated decision-making

We do not currently make decisions about candidates based solely on automated processing where those decisions would have legal or similarly significant effects.

Technology may be used to support our recruitment processes, but significant recruitment decisions are not made solely by automated means.

If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional information required by law.

18. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and the way we process your information, you may have the right to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you.

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

Request erasure of your personal information in certain circumstances.

Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.

Object to processing where applicable, including processing based on legitimate interests and processing for direct marketing purposes.

Request data portability in circumstances where this right applies.

Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent to process your information.

These rights are not absolute and some apply only in particular circumstances.

To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact:

contact@eazycrest.com

We may ask you for information reasonably necessary to confirm your identity before responding to a request.

You will not normally have to pay a fee to exercise your data protection rights.

19. Complaints

If you have concerns about the way Eazycrest Recruitment handles your personal information, please contact us in the first instance so that we have an opportunity to address your concerns.

Email: contact@eazycrest.com

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.

20. Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the relevant organisation's privacy information before providing personal information to it.

21. Children

Eazycrest Recruitment's website and recruitment services are not directed at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through our website. If we become aware that information relating to a child has been collected inappropriately, we will take appropriate steps to address this.

22. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our business, services, technology or legal and regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be published on our website and the “Last updated” date will be amended accordingly.
