HOW WILL YOUR DATA BE USED

Candidates:

To match your skills and experience with a potential employer. This may involve us collecting basic information about you such as contact details, the role you are looking for and experience.

We will then pass this on to the Client. If you are chosen by the Client and go through to the next stage, we may then need to collect more information from you. We may also use your Data to send you information that you may find interesting and/or useful such as industry news, initiatives, or suitable similar roles.

Clients:

To ensure that we can find the right Candidate for the role or a production that requires a talented person, as part of our contractual arrangements.   

Suppliers:

To ensure that we can contact you and for contractual obligations.

 

 

If you fail to provide information when requested: which is necessary for us to find you a role or find you a Candidate, we will not be able to place Candidates with Clients successfully or vice versa.

 

Do we obtain consent before processing: All Data must be processed legally. If we look for consent, we will always ensure that you know what you are consenting to. We may also process Data without consent but only if that is compliant with the GDPR and/or is in line with your reasonable expectations.

 

The GDPR states we must have a lawful basis for processing all Data. The GDPR sets out the grounds where processing of Data can be undertaken legally. Our lawful basis for processing will be as follows:

 

  • Legitimate business interest: For prospective candidates, contractors, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests – we need this information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients, referees, and suppliers.
  • Before we go ahead with any processing, we will carry out a ‘balancing test’ to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental privacy rights are not outweighed by our legitimate business interests.
  • If you are interviewed and submitted as a Candidate, then this may involve the processing of more detailed Data including sensitive Data such as health information that you or others provide about you. In that case we always ask for your consent before undertaking such processing of any sensitive Data.
  • Where we need consent for some activities such as contacting candidates about other recruitment-related services we will ask for it. We rely on soft opt-in consent for these activities where you have previously engaged with us by submitting a CV, applying for a job, or registering on our Site. This means we take your consent as given unless or until you opt-out. For other types of e-marketing we require your explicit consent.

 

HOW YOUR DATA MIGHT BE SHARED

Candidates:

With the Client who has a role to fill, in order to assess suitability and the eventually placing the suitable Candidate into the vacant role.

We may also conduct background checks to verify the information you have provided which means we may need to share your information with a company appointed by us to run background checks.

Clients:

With Candidates during the course of providing services to you and with third parties as part of our contractual relationship.

Suppliers:

As part of our contractual relationship.

 

We require all third parties to respect the security of your Data and to treat it in accordance with the GDPR and other laws. As part of the recruitment process we will have to share your Data with a third party, but we only permit them to process your Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

 

Please note that any contract of employment or work will be direct with the Client and any new processing of your personal data as collected, processed and used by the Client will be in accordance with their data and privacy practices.

 

Data Security

 

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who need-to-know for the purpose of our business. They will only process your Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

Data Retention

 

We will only retain your Data as long is necessary for us to use your Data as set out in this Policy or to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations or requirements.

 

Some Data may need to be retained after we have found you a role or found you a Candidate if it is necessary to meet our legal obligations which may include information needed for tax and accounting purposes or for legal disputes and proceedings. 

 

If we determine that we no longer need the Data, we will securely destroy it in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

If we wish to retain your personal information on file, on the basis that a further opportunity may arise in future and we may wish to consider you for that, we will write to you separately, seeking your explicit consent to retain your personal information for a fixed period on that basis.

 

Transfers outside of Europe

 

We operate in both the UK and Australia as such we use and share Data both inside and outside the EEA. We will ensure that any transfer of Data outside the EEA is undertaken using legally compliant transfer mechanisms and in accordance with the GDPR.

 

Your rights: Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

 

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • 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).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate business 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.
  • Right to withdraw consent, only if you have given your consent to anything we do with your Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent for processing for that purpose at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your application and, subject to our retention policy, we will dispose of your Data securely.

 

How to exercise your rights

 

  • If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Data, object to the processing of your Data, or request that we transfer a copy of your Data to another party, please contact by emailing hello@talentedpeople.tv.
  • We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but we may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs of providing information for baseless or excessive/repeated requests or further copies of the same information. Alternatively, we could refuse to act on the request.
  • Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.
