Engagement can include submitting a job application or CV, or registering a vacancy to be filled, providing us with your telephone number or email address in order to receive details of vacancies. Under ‘soft opt-in’ consent, we will take your consent as given unless or until you opt out. For most people, this is beneficial as it allows us to suggest other jobs to them alongside the specific one they applied for, significantly increasing the likelihood of us finding them a new position. For other types of e-marketing, we are required to obtain your explicit consent.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time and can find out more about how to do in the Consent area below.

Where consent is the lawful basis for our processing your personal information you have the right to withdraw your consent to this particular processing at any time. However, please note that we may continue to retain, or otherwise use your personal information thereafter where we have a legitImate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so. Our processing in that respect will be limited to what is necessary in furtherance of those interests or obligations. Withdrawal of consent will not have any effect on the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Depending on exactly what we are doing with your information, this consent will be opt-in consent or soft opt-in consent.

We will keep records of the opt-in consents that you give to us.

As described previously, we also will be able to rely on soft opt-in consent. We are allowed to market products or services to you which are related to the recruitment services and activities we provide as long as you do not actively opt-out from these communications.

You have the right to withdraw your consent for either type of opt-in at any time by sending an email to: datarep@cameronkennedy.com with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email you receive from us.

However, if this is not the case, it is our policy to take steps to identify risks and in so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy notice.

All information you provide to us or you enter on our website is actually stored on our third party providers highly secure servers within the EAA.

Data security and confidentiality

It is our policy to ensure, in so far as is reasonably practicable, that our systems and records are secure and not accessible to unauthorised third parties in line with contemporary practice. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the Personal Information stored within our systems or website.

As regards you using the internet, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website or to Cameron Kennedy itself; any transmission is at your own risk. However, once we have received your information, we  use strict procedures and security features to prevent as far as reasonably practicable unauthorised access.

If you do not wish to provide us with necessary data

There may be circumstances where we require you to provide data which is necessary in order for us to meet statutory or contractual obligations, or perform our Recruitment Services. If you do not wish to provide us with information we request then please notify us. However, please be aware that as a result we may be unable to provide you or the party who you represent with a Recruitment Service, and in some cases may result in a breach of the contract we have with you or a third party you represent.

Retention of your data

In most circumstances your data will not be retained for more than 6 years from the last point at which we provided any services or otherwise engaged with you and it is our policy to only store your personal  data for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations and for our legitimate business interests.  However, we may retain data for longer than a 6 year period where we have a legal or contractual obligation to do so, or we form the view that there is otherwise a continued basis to do so, for example where your personal information identifies specialist skill sets which may remain in demand, or we are subject to a legal obligation which applies for a longer period.  We understand our legal duty to retain accurate data and only retain personal data for as long as we need it for our legitimate business interests and that you are happy for us to do so. Accordingly, we have a data retention policy and run data routines to remove data that we no longer have a legitimate business interest in maintaining.

If however you believe that we should delete your personal data at an earlier date, please inform us of your reasons in writing or via email to our data representative: datarep@cameronkennedy.com.  Please see Section 4 ‘Your Rights’ below.

Changes to our privacy notice

Any changes we make to our privacy notice in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy notice.

SECTION 4: Your rights

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and it is important that you know your rights within that context.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you if we intend to use your data for such purposes. We do not disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. We will collect express consent from you if legally required prior to using your personal data for marketing purposes. However, if you are a candidate, normally we will rely on a soft opt-in as previously described where we are providing recruitment services but you still have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes.

You can exercise your right to accept or prevent such certain types of communication from us by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data on our website if you are registering through our website. You can also exercise the right to withdraw or provide consent at any time by contacting Sheldon Paule at: datarep@cameronkennedy.com or by clicking unsubscribe on any email communication you receive from us.

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

The GDPR provides you with the following rights

- Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
- Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). We will respond to your request within 28 days (although we may be allowed to extend this period in certain cases) and will only disagree with you if certain limited conditions apply. If we do agree to your request, we will delete your data.
- Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Request the transfer of your personal information to another party in certain formats, if practicable. We will  either directly transfer your data for you, or provide you with a copy in a commonly used machine-readable format.
- Make a complaint to a supervisory body which in the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO can be contacted through this link: https://ico.org.uk/concerns/.

Please note that should you exercise your right to request that we erase data or cease any processing activity, we may retain a record of this request and the action taken in order to both evidence our compliance, and to take steps to minimise the prospect of any data being processed in the future should it be received again from a third party source. If you would prefer us not to do this, you are free to say so.

You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data for a particular purpose at any stage. However, please note that we may continue to retain, or otherwise use your personal information thereafter where we have a legitimate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so. Our processing in that respect will be limited to what is necessary in furtherance of those interests or obligations

Please note that we are required to retain records In order to demonstrate compliance with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 which require the retention of work-seeker records for at least one year after their creation and at least one year from the date we provided our services.

We are also required to comply with statutory and regulatory obligations relating to business generally and may be required to retain your personal data, for example required by tax, bribery and fraud/crime prevention legislation, and retention of personal data to comply with regulatory authorities such as HMRC.

Access to information

The Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR give you the right to access information held about you. We also encourage you to contact us to ensure your data is accurate and complete.
You have the right to ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and you may ask us to modify, update or delete such information. Once having made contact with us, we may comply with your request or, additionally we may ask you to verify your identity, or ask for more information about your request.
Where we comply with your request we will respond without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request.
If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is "manifestly unfounded or excessive". If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
If we determine that responding to your request is likely to be complex and will involve looking extensively at a high volume of data, we will be at liberty to charge you a fee. In these circumstances, once you have paid a fee then, we may require a further 2 months to respond to your request.

A subject access request (SAR) should be submitted to Sheldon Paule using the following email address: datarep@cameronkennedy.com.
