Privacy

As a recruitment business, TMM Recruitment provides work-finding services to our clients and work-seekers, therefore we must process personal data (including sensitive personal data) in order to provide these services – in doing so, we are acting in the capacity of a data controller.

TMM Recruitment is committed to protecting the privacy of our candidates, clients and users of our website. We want to provide a safe and secure user experience. We will ensure that the information you submit to us via our website or through our office is only used for the purposes set out in this policy.

You may give your personal details to us directly, such as on an application or registration form or via our website, or we may collect them from another source such as a job board. We 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 the terms of the following statement.

1. Collection And Use Of Personal Data

a. Purpose of processing and legal basis

We will collect your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. Depending on the circumstances more than one legal basis may apply. The legal bases we rely upon to offer this service to you in full are:

• Consent
• Legitimate Interest
• Legal Obligations
• Contractual Obligations

TMM Recruitment undertakes to use all information responsibly. Any information collected and stored will be of the following kind:

• Activity on our website, including visits from third party sites. For more information please read our cookie statement.
• Information provided for the use of registering as a work-seeker and / or subscribing to our Job Alert service.
• Information provided for business purposes, industry analysis or internal statistics.
• Information provided for contacting you directly.
• Information provided for TMM Recruitment marketing activities and keeping you informed about TMM Recruitment services.
• In connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.
• In order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

b. Legitimate Interest

Our legitimate interest in order to process your data is as follows:

We provide work finding services to both candidates and clients and therefore process personal data in order to be able to provide these services. We need to check the identity of candidates, their right to work and qualifications as well as process pay and manage entitlement to certain statutory rights. We therefore feel it is reasonable to conclude that processing personal data in order to provide work finding services is in the legitimate interests of all parties involved – the recruiter, the work-seeker and the client.

c. Recipient/s of data

TMM Recruitment will process your personal data and/or sensitive personal data only with our clients that we provide work finding services too. TMM Recruitment will not provide any personal information to a client and/or third party (except as provided in this policy and our cookie policy) unless you have given your consent.

d. Statutory/contractual requirement

Your personal data could be required by law and/or a contractual requirement (e.g. our client may require this personal data), and/or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract. You are obliged to provide the personal data and if you do not the consequences of failure to provide the data are that we will be unable to provide work finding services to you.

2. Job Alerts

To subscribe to Job Alerts emails, you will be required to provide your first name, surname and e-mail address, which will be used for the purpose of keeping you informed, by e-mail, of the latest jobs in your nominated specialism. Should you decide that you no longer wish to receive this information, unsubscribe links are provided in every job alert email that you receive. If you do not verify your job alert subscription your data record will be deleted 30 days after the verification email was sent to you. If you cancel your job alert subscription your data record will be deleted 30 days after you took action to cancel your subscription.

3. Overseas Transfers

TMM Recruitment may transfer only 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 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.

4. Data Retention

TMM Recruitment will retain your personal data for as long as you maintain a record with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you our services. We will also retain your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

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 your payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay and pensions auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC and associated national minimum wage, social security and tax legislation.

Where we no longer need to process your personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or we have had no meaningful contact with you over the past 5 years we will delete your personal data from our systems.

Where permissible, we will also delete your personal data upon your request. Information on how to make a deletion request can be found in section 5 below.

Website records for Send Your CV and Submit A Vacancy calls to action and website records for Job Basket submissions will be deleted from our web hosting secure servers 30 days after the records were uploaded. Online Registration Form records will also be deleted from our web hosting secure servers 30 days after the completed registration form is submitted.
