This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of our Site, which may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over how other websites collect, store, or use your data, and we advise you to check their privacy policies before providing any data to them.
Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (the Data Protection Legislation) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information, including your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information, such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
a) The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 14.
b) The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
c) The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.
d) The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we hold.
e) The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
f) The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
g) The right to withdraw consent. This means that if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
h) The right to data portability. This means that, if data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business. We do not use your personal data in this way.
i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 14.
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.
Further information about your rights can be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, so please contact us first, using the details in Part 14.

a) Identity and contact information: Including your title, name, date of birth, and gender, as well as your address, email address and telephone number.
b) Profile data: If you create an account on our website, we will process information about your account, including your username, your preferences, and other information you share with us, for example your employment status, career history, education history, industry sector(s), and other details about your professional life you choose to share with us.
c) Technical data: Some information is automatically collected by our website, and includes your internet protocol (IP) address, login information, information about your internet browser, date and time information, location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technical information about the devices you use to access this website.

Certain categories of personal information are more sensitive than others. Known as ‘special category personal data’, this relates to information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, details of sexual life, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, political opinions or any genetic or biometric data that is used to identify you.
We do not routinely process special category personal data, however if we need to do so we will explain what information we need and why. Providing special category data will be optional.
The personal data that we collect and process is primarily used to enable us to provide you with the information you require from our Site. For example, we may use your personal data for the following purposes:
Data protection law requires us to have a valid legal reason to use your personal data. These are:
If you sign up to our mailing list, you will receive marketing emails from us. You can opt out of receiving marketing at any time by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the end of any email or by contacting us.
We collect personal data about you from the following sources:
We will store some of your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the EU GDPR and/or to equivalent standards by law. Transfers of personal data to the EEA from the UK are permitted without additional safeguards.
We may store some of your personal data in countries outside the EEA, which are known as “third countries.” We will take additional steps to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation.
We take reasonable precautions to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data and to ensure that it will be processed in accordance with this Notice. Unfortunately, the transmission of data via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically. You acknowledge and accept that, despite our efforts to protect your personal data, there is a risk that others may try to intercept the information you provide to us. Transmission of your personal data is entirely at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
In certain circumstances we may share your personal data with third parties. We will never share your personal data unless we are allowed or required to do so by law. Examples of how we may share your personal data:
We will only store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and, where required for us to assert or defend against legal claims, until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.
When you subscribe to our newsletter list we will process your data until you unsubscribe from the list. Your data will then be included in the data cleansing processes we employ to keep our data up to date and will be archived/deleted.
