Our GDPR & Privacy Policy
Introduction
During the course of our activities we, Seven Resourcing Ltd, will process personal data (which may be held on paper, electronically, or otherwise) about the people who use our services and website (you). We recognise that we have obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR) to ensure transparency, security and proper retention of the personal data we collect about you. The purpose of this policy is to make you aware of how we will handle and protect your personal data.
Data protection principles
We will comply with the six data protection principles of the Data Protection Act 2018, which say that personal data must be:
- (a) processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject;
- (b) collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes;
- (c) adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
- (d) accurate, and where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are incorrect, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay;
- (e) retained only as long as necessary;
- (f) processed in an appropriate way to ensure its security;
“Personal data” means any information we hold about you from which you can be identified. It may include contact details such as name, telephone number, email address, home address plus information about your work history, record of qualification and training or expressions of opinion about you. “Processing” means using the data – such as accessing, disclosing, destroying or storing the data in any way.
Fair and lawful processing
We will usually only process your personal data where you have provided it to us directly, or where you have submitted your data to an online portal that allows for the sharing of your data with us for the purpose of seeking new employment. We use this data to match you to suitable employment positions as advertised by our clients and will use this data to contact you when a match is found. We may also send you emails that advertise available positions in order to invite you to apply. We will not use your data for anything other than these purposes.
Accurate data
We will keep the personal data we store about you accurate and up to date. Data that is inaccurate or out of date will be destroyed. Please notify us if your personal details change or if you become aware of any inaccuracies in the personal data we hold about you.
Live chat
Our live chat system is for the convenience of our website visitors and we will not disclose information about candidates and clients there. To protect our staff, we do not disclose personal or business information about our employees on live chat. If you wish to acquire business information, including Seven’s employee contact information, you can email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help from there with permission from the employee in question.
Data retention
We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose. This means that data will be destroyed or erased from our systems when it is no longer required and no longer than five years.
