WHO CONTROLS THE DATA THAT YOU SUPPLY?

Altus Partners Ltd is registered as a data controller in the United Kingdom for the purposes of any relevant data protection laws. The data you provide is processed fairly and lawfully and used only for the purposes set out in this policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Altus Partners Ltd will collect data about you in accordance with our legitimate interests as a data controller. We collect both
non-personal information and personal information. Non-personal information includes any data that cannot be used to identify you, including generic demographics (inclusive of data that demonstrates equal opportunity compliance), referral pages and URLs and how users navigate through the website. Personal information includes your name and contact details and if necessary, sensitive personal data.

Altus Partners will also obtain explicit consent from you before processing any sensitive personal data. Personal data will be stored,
processed, used and disclosed by us in these ways:

·         To provide and undertake recruitment services

·         To assess data against vacancies we judge may be suitable for you

·          To send your information to clients so they can receive your application or assess your eligibility for jobs

·         To enable you to submit your CV or apply for jobs

·         To improve our service and to make our services more relevant to you (including updating our website to enhance your digital experience)

·         Where you have consented to being contacted, send you promotions, offers, networking events and market information

·         To answer your queries

·         To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and the Company, or any contracts the Company enters into with third parties in relation to providing you recruitment services

·         To facilitate the Company’s payroll and invoicing processes

·         To third parties that undertake references, qualifications and criminal reference checking services, the verification of the details you have provided from a third-party source, psychometric or skills evaluation

·         To third parties, regulatory or law enforcement bodies if we believe that we are required to disclose it in connection with a crime, the collection of taxes/duties, or in order to observe an applicable law or legal proceedings.

Every now and then, we may seek your permission to process, use or disclose your data for any other purpose not already listed.

WHERE INFORMATION IS HELD

The personal information that you provide to us (including sensitive personal information) may be passed on to our clients and the third parties specified above. Some of these are located outside of the European Economic Area. When we transfer your personal information outside this area, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION

You may request an overview on the information we hold about you at any time and can request to modify, update or delete it. When we receive this, we may require an identification verification or need to clarify your request. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request and will give you reasons for doing so.

You can request to unsubscribe from marketing material at any time. If you wish to contact us about any of this, please email
elizabeth.nicholson@altus-partners.com.

INFORMATION RETENTION

We will hold your information for as long as is necessary to adhere to our statutory and contractual obligations and in line with our
legitimate interests as a data controller.

We will endeavour to ensure all your personal data is kept up to date but you are responsible for informing us of any changes, which we will update or delete accordingly.

The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, require us to keep work-seeker records for at least one year from (a) the date of their creation or (b) after the date on which we last provide you with work-finding services.

We must also keep all payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay and pensions auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC and associated national minimum wage, social security and tax legislation.

Where we have obtained your consent to process your sensitive personal data, we will do so in line with our obligations under the
relevant data protection laws. Your sensitive personal date will be processed for a period of two years. Upon expiry of that period the Company will seek further consent from you. Where consent is not granted the Company will cease to process your sensitive personal data.

In addition to our obligations under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, the Company will delete your personal data after three years if we have not had any meaningful contact with you or if we do not hold any records on you that are in our legitimate interests to keep.

“Meaningful contact” means, for example, any form of contact between us in relation to the Company assisting/providing recruitment services to you.

TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION ACROSS THE INTERNET

Your information is held on servers hosted by us or our Internet Services Provider. Sending information over the internet is not
totally secure. While we endeavour to protect your personal data, we cannot always safeguard the security of your data transmitted to our site.
