We process personal data (including sensitive personal data) so that it can provide these services – in doing so, we act as a data controller. We have appointed a Data Protection Officer to ensure that we process your data in an accurate, legal manner.
Data Collection and Processing
You may give your personal details to us directly, such as on an application or registration form or via our website, or we may collect them from another source such as a jobs board. We have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you we will only use your personal data in accordance with this privacy statement. At all times we will comply with current data protection laws.
We will collect your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. This includes for example, contacting you about job opportunities, assessing your suitability for those opportunities, updating our databases, putting you forward for job opportunities and developing and managing our services and relationship with you and our clients.
If you have opted-in we may also send you marketing information and news via email/ text. You can opt-out from receiving these at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” when you receive these communications from us
In some cases we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.
We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. The legal bases we rely upon to offer our work-finding services to you are your consent, where we have a legitimate interest, to comply with a legal obligation that we have and to fulfil a contractual obligation that we have with you
We have a legitimate reason to process your data provided it is reasonable and does not go against what you would reasonably expect from us. Where we have relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data our legitimate interests are managing our database and keeping work-seeker records up to date, providing work-finding services to you and our clients and contacting you to seek your consent where we need it.
We have certain legal and contractual requirements to collect personal data (e.g. to comply with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, immigration and tax legislation, and in some circumstances safeguarding requirements.) Our clients may also require this personal data, and/or we may need your data to enter into a contract with you. If you do not give us personal data we need to collect we may not be able to continue to provide work-finding services to you.
We will process your personal data and/or sensitive personal data with the following recipients – Clients (whom we may introduce or supply you to), former employers whom we may seek references from and other recruitment agencies in the supply chain.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose we collect it. Different laws may also require us to keep different data for different periods of time. For example, the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, require us to keep work-seeker records for at least one year from (a) the date of their creation or (b) after the date on which we last provide you with work-finding services.
Your Rights
Where you have consented to us processing your data you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting hello@parmarstaffing.co.uk for the attention of Data Processing Officer in the subject line or in writing to Parmar Staffing, Registered Office: 36A Goring Road, Worthing, West Sussex BN12 4AD. Please note that if you withdraw your consent to further processing that does not affect any processing done prior to the withdrawal of that consent, or which is done according to another legal basis.
There may be circumstances where we will still need to process your data for legal or official reasons. Where this is the case, we will tell you and we will restrict the data to only what is necessary for those specific reasons.
If you believe that any of your data that we process is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us using the details above and we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and correct it where necessary.
You can also contact us using the above details if you want us to restrict the type or amount of data we process for you, access your personal data or exercise any of the other rights listed above.
