Data protection principles

We will comply with the data protection principles when gathering and using personal information.

About the information we collect and hold

The table set out below summarises the information we collect and hold, how and why we do so, how we use it and with whom it may be shared.

We may also need to share some of the categories of personal information set out with other parties, such as external contractors and our professional advisers. In most cases, information is only shared for the performance of our contract with you or to comply with our legal obligations.

We seek to ensure that our information collection and processing is always proportionate. We will notify you of any changes to information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.

Where information may be held

Information may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, and third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above. Information may be transferred internationally to other countries around the world, including countries that do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the UK, for the reasons described above. We have security measures in place to seek to ensure that there is appropriate security for information we hold.

How long we keep your information

The period for which we keep your information is dependent on whether or not we have placed you in a permanent job with us.

Where we have been unsuccessful in placing you in a permanent job with us, we will retain your data for 3 years from the date we created your record in our database. If we have subsequently employed you, we will retain your information for the whole period of your employment and we will retain certain pay-related and other financial information for 7 years following the termination of employment in order to comply with our legal obligations.

Your rights to correct and access your information to ask for it to be erased

You have the right to:

access your data;
request that we correct data we hold about you; and
ask for it to be erased.

If you would like to exercise these one or more of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at privacyofficer@randstad.co.uk.

Keeping your personal information secure

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know 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.

How to complain

We hope you won’t have any concerns, but if you do, please raise them in the first instance with your contact in Talent Acquisition by emailing talent@randstad.co.uk.

If your concerns aren’t resolved, you can contact Randstad’s Data Protection Officer by email to privacyofficer@randstad.co.uk.

We hope that our Data Protection Officer can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. If not, contact the Information Commissioner at ico.org.uk/concerns/ or telephone: 0303 123 1113 for further information about your rights and how to make a formal complaint.
