Candidate privacy
Candidate privacy notice
This notice explains how StaffSourceUK handles the information you provide when you register as a candidate. It sits alongside our general privacy policy.
What we collect
When you register as a candidate we collect your name, contact details, town and postcode, your work preferences and availability, your work experience and skills, and the documents you upload (CV, cover letter and certificates). We do not ask for passport numbers, National Insurance numbers or bank details during registration.
Why we use it
We use your information to review your profile, to consider you for suitable vacancies, to contact you about opportunities you may be interested in, and to keep records of any introductions we make. We do not charge candidates, and we never use your data for any other purpose without telling you.
Who we share it with
Your details and CV are shared only with a specific recruitment agency or employer for a vacancy you have agreed to be considered for. Each introduction is recorded separately, including the date your consent was obtained. We never share CVs or personal information automatically, and nothing is ever published on a public page.
How long we keep it
We keep active candidate profiles while you are looking for work and for up to 12 months after your last activity, after which we review or delete them. Consent and introduction records are retained for up to 24 months so we can demonstrate compliance. Documents you ask us to delete are removed from our systems.
Your rights
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, withdraw consent for future introductions, or ask us to delete your profile and documents. You can request deletion from your candidate account or by contacting our team, and we will action the request without charge.
Security
Documents are held in private storage with access restricted to authorised administrators. They are never given a public web address and are only opened through time-limited secure links. Access to the candidate database is limited to administrators of this platform.
Job alerts
Agreeing to job alerts is optional and never a condition of registering. You can withdraw that consent at any time and still remain registered as a candidate.
Access and deletion requests
Registered candidates can request deletion from their account. You can also contact our team on 07778 780823 or through the contact page, and we will confirm what we hold and action your request.
