Some of this information is collected and processed so we can perform a contract with you, some for the purpose of legal compliance and some for the purposes of our legitimate business interests (namely to carry out and improve our business, analyse the use of our Website and services and support our customers/users).

Information we receive from third-parties:

We may receive information from other sources who collect Personal Information from you and pass it on to us (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, social networks and credit reference agencies). Where this is the case the third-party is responsible for obtaining the relevant consents from you to ensure you are happy with the ways in which your Personal Information will be used.

How this information is used:

We will only use Personal Information we hold about you (including information we receive from other sources) in the following ways, depending on the types of information:

a) to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered between you and us and to provide you with the information, products and services that you request from us, as well as support in respect of those services;

b) to improve our Website (e.g. to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer) and services;

c) to allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so;

d) as part of our efforts to keep our site safe and secure;

e) for our internal business processes; and

f) where you have explicitly consented at the time we collected your Personal Information or where we otherwise have a right to do so, we may also use your Personal Information to let you know about other goods and services we offer that are like those that you have already enquired about, and to inform you about important changes or developments to our services, via email or phone. From time to time, we may also use your Personal Information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email or phone. This will only happen where you have opted-in to receive such communications.

If you do not want us to use your Personal Information in the ways described in this Policy, please let us know by contacting us. You may also opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the instructions outlined in any marketing email.

How we may share personal information:

Where it is necessary for the performance of our contract with you or for our internal business processes, we may share your Personal Information with our suppliers, contractors, third-party partners (including any investors we may work with), prospective candidates, clients, and any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company, and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

In addition, it may be necessary to disclose your Personal Information if we are under a legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Rupert King Recruitment, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

If Rupert King Recruitment enters a joint venture with, purchases or is sold to or merges with another business entity, or if we sell or buy any business or assets, or substantially all our assets are acquired by a third-party, your Personal Information may be disclosed or transferred to the purchaser, our new business partners or owners or their advisors. We will also share your contact details with selected third-parties if you have consented to receive marketing from such third-parties. If you change your mind about being contacted by these third-parties for marketing purposes, let us know by contacting us using the details set out below, or contact the third-party directly.

We may also share aggregated, anonymised information with advertisers and advertising networks (for example, we may inform them that 500 women aged under 40 have clicked on their advertisements on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the Personal Information we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

Security and data retention measures including transfers outside of the EEA:

All Personal Information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers in the European Economic Area, and we take steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require and, in any event, only for as long as Data Protection Legislation provides for. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.

In processing your Personal Information, it may be necessary for us to transfer your Personal Information outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“). It may also be accessed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and the Data Protection Legislation when it is processed in, or other accessed from, a location outside the EEA. This means that we will only transfer your Personal Information to third-parties outside the EEA if that third-party (a) is situated in a country that has been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate protection to Personal Information, or (b) has agreed (by way of written contract) to provide all protections to your Personal Information as required by the Data Protection Legislation.

Accessing and updating personal information:

You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing or research purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your Personal Information) if we intend to use your Personal Information for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third-party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us.

You have the right to see the Personal Information we hold about you and to ask us to: (a) make any changes to ensure that any Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and up to date; (b) erase or stop processing any Personal Information we hold about you where there is no longer a legal ground for us to hold it; or (c) transfer any information we hold about you to a specified third-party. If you wish to do this, please contact us.

Complaints:

Should you have any queries or complaints in relation to how we use your Personal Information, please contact us. Should you wish to take any complaints or queries further, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office regarding such issues.
