What we collect

  • Identity and contact details: name, email, phone, country and city.
  • Professional details: current title, experience, LinkedIn and portfolio links, expected salary, notice period and joining date.
  • Your CV, portfolio and any cover letter or screening answers.
  • Records created during recruitment: stage changes, interview schedules, evaluation notes and emails sent to you.
  • Technical data used to protect the service, such as IP address, to prevent spam and abuse.

Why we collect it

  • To assess your suitability for the role you applied for, or for future roles if you join the Talent Pool.
  • To contact you about your application and arrange interviews.
  • To meet legal obligations and to defend legal claims.
  • Legal bases: steps taken at your request before entering a contract, our legitimate interest in recruiting, and your consent where requested.

Who can access it

Files and documents

  • CVs and portfolios are stored in private storage under randomised file names. They are never publicly listed or linked.
  • Staff access files through short-lived, signed links. We will never ask you to send passwords or sensitive identity documents by email.

How long we keep it
