We may anonymise the information you provide to us and aggregate it with other anonymous user data we hold. We may use this anonymous information to better understand our users, develop and improve our services, create and publish reports, provide products and services for our clients and other third parties, and as we otherwise determine. We do not use this anonymous information in a way that you can be identified.

We may also use your information on an anonymised basis to monitor compliance with our equal opportunities policy.

Who might we share your personal information with?

We may share your personal information with various third parties in connection with the purposes identified above. These third parties include the following:

• Client organisations in connection with recruitment for vacancies at those organisations;
• Third parties where we have retained them to provide services that you (or our client) have requested, such as references, qualifications and criminal reference checking services, verification of the details you have provided from third party sources, psychometric evaluation or skill testing;
• Third parties with whom we have a business relationship; and
• Regulatory or law enforcement agencies or other third parties if we believe that we are required by law to disclose it in connection with the detection of crime, the collection of taxes or duties, in order to comply with any applicable law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with legal proceedings.

Where we have your permission to do so, we may also share your information with third parties who provide products and services which we think may be of interest to you.

Yes.  We sometimes delegate the personal information processing activities we undertake to third parties.  For instance, we use third parties to send marketing emails and process payments on our behalf.

We are required by data protection law to ensure that, where we use third party data processors, we use suitable third parties and have a contract in place with those third parties committing them to protect the personal information they receive and process on our behalf.

Timescales that we keep your data for

The timescale for this will vary depending on the requirement. The criteria for this include:

• The reason we are using your data. We will keep the minimum amount of data required for that reason and for the timescale that that reason requires (E.G. contractual membership periods)
• Legal requirements and where a minimum timescale is set (E.G. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC))

We will keep your data for the term you have consented to, the contracted term between us or where there is a legitimate interest for us to remain in contact with you in case of any queries that you may have (E.G. copy of the original agreement) or for legally required reasons (E.G. HMRC), whichever is the longest period.

How do we keep your data secure?

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Do we monitor your communications with us?

To help us review, develop and improve the products and services we offer and to ensure that we meet the standards we set ourselves, we may monitor your communications with us.
