We collect and process some or all of the following types of information from you:

Uses made of your information

Lawful basis for processing

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis for collecting and using your personal data. Our legitimate interests are in recruiting staff for our business.

Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.
To consider your application in respect of other roles.
To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process.
To supplement and enhance any information that we receive from you with information obtained from third-party data providers.
To find appropriate candidates to fill our job openings.

Automated decision making / profiling

We may leverage Pinpoint’s technology to help us select appropriate candidates for us to consider based on the criteria we have identified. The process of finding suitable candidates is automatic; however, our team will make any decision as to who we will engage to fill the job opening.

How we store your personal data

Security

We take appropriate measures to ensure that all personal data is kept secure, including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in any unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to view it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

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

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.

The data that we collect from you and process using Pinpoint’s Services will be transferred to and stored at one of several datacentre locations in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and may be synchronised to one of several datacentre locations in London (United Kingdom) for backup and redundancy purposes. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
