Marketing Communications
In general we do not rely on consent on a legal basis for processing Personal Information with the exception of sending direct marketing messages via email or text or the collection of data by cookies. If you have sent us your details previously or have engaged with us in the past you may still receive marketing communications from us even if you haven’t provided consent as we apply the ‘soft opt-in’ consent. Soft opt-in consent is a specific type of consent which applies where you have previously engaged with us (such as submitting a job application or CV, or registering via the website), and we are marketing other recruitment-related services. Under ‘soft opt-in’ consent, we will take your consent as given unless or until you opt out. This allows us to suggest other jobs to you in addition to the job you applied for, increasing the possibility of us finding you a new position. For other types of e-marketing, we are required to obtain your explicit consent.
You have the right to withdraw consent at anytime. Please email unsubscribe@
We will never sell your data to third parties for use for marketing
Data Retention

We will delete your personal data if we have not had any meaningful contact with you (or, where appropriate, the company you are working for or with) for two years (or for such longer period as we believe in good faith that the law or relevant regulators require us to preserve your data). After this period, it is likely your data will no longer be relevant for the purposes for which it was collected.
