How we handle personal data from candidates, clients and website visitors.
Draft wording — review before launch
This page is a plain-English starting point written to be easy to edit. It is not legal advice and the presence of this page does not make the website compliant. Please have the wording reviewed and approved by a suitably qualified adviser, and replace it before the site goes live.
Who we are
Berkley Clark is a recruitment business specialising in precision engineering, manufacturing and skilled technical roles. We act as a data controller for the personal data we hold about candidates, client contacts and website visitors.
What we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Your name, email address, telephone number and location.
- Your CV and the employment information it contains, including work history, qualifications and skills.
- Details of the roles you are interested in and your salary or rate expectations.
- Company contact details and role requirements where you enquire as an employer.
- Basic technical information about your visit, such as pages viewed, collected through essential and (with your agreement) analytics cookies.
Why we use it and our lawful basis
We use candidate data to assess suitability for roles, to discuss opportunities with you and, with your agreement, to introduce you to prospective employers. We use client data to respond to enquiries and to provide recruitment services.
Our lawful bases are typically your consent (for example when you submit a CV), our legitimate interests in operating a recruitment business, and the performance of a contract where we are engaged to provide services.
Sharing your data
We do not send your CV to an employer without first discussing the opportunity with you. We use trusted service providers to host this website and store data securely on our behalf. We may disclose information where we are legally required to do so.
How long we keep it
We keep candidate records for as long as necessary to provide recruitment services and for a reasonable period afterwards, subject to review. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access your data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have your data erased, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Security
Applications and CVs submitted through this website are stored in a private, access-controlled location and are only available to authorised members of our team.
