Dawn Ellmore Employment Agency Ltd is an Employment Agency and Employment Business (as defined in the Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003) which provides work finding services to its clients and work seekers. The Company must process personal data so that it can provide these services – in doing so, the Company acts as a data controller.

You may give or have given your personal details to the Company directly, such as on an application or registration form or via our website, or we may collect them from another source such as a jobs board. The Company must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you we will only use your personal data in accordance with this privacy statement. At all times we will comply with current data protection laws.

Collection and use of personal data

(a) Purpose of processing and legal basis

The Company will collect your personal data and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. This includes for example, contacting you about job opportunities, assessing your suitability for those opportunities, updating our databases, putting you forward for job opportunities, arranging payments to you and developing and managing our services and relationship with you and our clients.

We may use your email address to send you details of new vacancies in sectors relevant to your skills. If you do not wish to receive such job alert emails, you may unsubscribe using the link provided in any such email, or by contacting us using the contact details given below.

If you have opted–in we may also send you marketing information and news via email. You can opt-out from receiving these at any time using the link provided when you receive these communications from us.

In cases where you have not given your personal data to the Company directly, we may indirectly collect your personal data from a third party jobs board. This personal data may include your name and contact details, and other personal data as provided on your CV or otherwise to the third party.

In some cases we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.

We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. The legal bases we rely upon to offer our work-finding services to you are:

  • Where we have a legitimate interest
  • Your consent
  • To comply with a legal obligation that we have
  • To fulfil a contractual obligation that we have with you

(b) Legitimate interest

This is where the Company has a legitimate reason to process your data provided it is reasonable and does not go against what you would reasonably expect from us. Where the Company has relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data our legitimate interests is/are as follows:

  • Managing our database and keeping work-seeker records up to date
  • Providing work-finding services to you and our clients
  • Contacting you to seek your consent where we need it
  • Giving you information about similar products or services

(c) Statutory/contractual requirement

The Company has certain legal and contractual requirements to collect personal data (e.g. to comply with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, immigration and tax legislation, and in some circumstances safeguarding requirements.)  Our clients may also require this personal data, and/or we may need your data to enter into a contract with you. If you do not give us personal data we need to collect we may not be able to continue to provide work-finding services to you.

(d) Recipient/s of data

The Company will process your personal data with the following recipients:

  • Clients of the Company, for the purposes of providing work seeking services
  • Former employers whom we may seek references from (with your permission)
  • Other recruitment agencies in the supply chain.

Overseas Transfers

The Company may transfer the information you provide to us to countries outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. We will only do this with your explicit permission to do so, and will take steps to ensure adequate protections are in place to ensure the security of your information. The EEA comprises the EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Data retention

The Company will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose we collect it. Different laws may also require us to keep different data for different periods of time. For example, 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 any payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay, and pensions auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC.

In addition to the above, our interest in retaining personal data is often ongoing, meaning that in some circumstances we may retain such data for long periods of time. We maintain contact with work seekers whose personal data we hold, and we perform periodic data reviews to ensure that we are not holding on to data unnecessarily.
