If you as a visitor choose to submit information you agree to the use of such data in accordance with this privacy statement. We ensure generally accepted standards of technological security for the purpose of protecting information provided by visitors from misuse, loss or corruption.

What information do we collect from you?
The recruitment software collects only personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors. As part of the registration process, we may collect the following (but not limited to):
- Name, address, email, telephone number
- CV (where applicable)
- Answers to questions around your recruitment preferences
- Any other information you wish to provide in support of building up your candidate account
Why do we collect this information (purpose)?
As required by the GDPR we must only request information if we have a legal basis for doing so. You are agreeing to provide this information in order for us to form a contract that will allow us to use your details and information presented so that we may provide recruitment services to you and carry out statistical analysis.
We use some automated screening tools as part of this application process. The answers you provide to one or more of the questions (excluding any special categories / equal opportunities questions) may result in your application being automatically declined. This technology is used to help us manage the high volume of applications we receive and can assure applicants the same outcome would occur if we manually reviewed your application. We do not solely rely on automated decision making.
