Information we may collect

• Your name, business contact details and job title.
• Information you provide in emails, calls, meetings or enquiries.
• Client briefs, search requirements, interview feedback and commercial correspondence.
• Technical information needed to keep our website secure and available, such as IP address, browser information and security logs.
• Any information you choose to provide when requesting reports, insights or other resources.

How and why we use information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and provide our search services;
• manage client, supplier and professional relationships;
• prepare proposals, contracts, invoices and business records;
• provide requested reports, updates or market information;
• protect our website, systems, confidential information and business;
• meet legal, regulatory, tax and accounting obligations; and
• establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases are taking steps before entering into a contract, performing a contract, complying with legal obligations and our legitimate interests in operating and protecting a specialist search business. Where consent is the appropriate basis, you may withdraw it at any time.

Sharing information

We may share information with trusted providers that support our business, including recruitment software, email, document storage, IT, website hosting, professional advisers and payment or accounting providers. They may only use information for the agreed purpose and must protect it appropriately.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect legal rights or as part of a business reorganisation. We do not sell personal information.

International transfers

Our work and service providers may involve countries outside the UK. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards required by data protection law, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose collected, our professional relationship and applicable legal, tax, accounting or dispute requirements. Retention periods are reviewed and information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict your information, object to processing, receive portable information and withdraw consent. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
