Privacy Policy

DivalentineCalver Recruitment Limited (“We”, “Us”, “Our”) is committed to protecting your privacy, and takes its responsibilities regarding the security of customer information very seriously. This policy explains how We use customer information and how We protect your privacy.

Use of Customer Information

We require certain information to allow Us to provide Our services of finding recruitment for employment candidates. We collect the details provided by you, together with information We learn about you from your use of Our services and your visits to Our website. We also collect information about the transactions you undertake.

We may collect additional information in connection with your participation in any promotions offered by Us and information you provide when giving Us feedback.

We will use your information to provide and personalise Our services. We will also use your contact details to communicate with you. We may use your information to send you offers and news about Our products and services or those of other carefully selected companies which We think may be of interest to you. We may contact you by post, email, telephone (including SMS), fax or social media for these purposes.

Your data may be used for the following purposes: accounting, billing and audit, safety, security, health, administrative and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, systems testing, maintenance and development, customer surveys, customer relations and to help Us in any future dealings with you, for example by identifying your requirements and preferences.

We may also use and analyse the information that We collect so that We can administer, support, improve and develop Our business.

The information that you provide to Us will be held in Our systems, which are located on Our premises or those of an appointed third party. We may also allow access to your information by other third parties who act for Us for the purposes set out in this policy or for other purposes approved by you.

Site tracking

We use tracking software to monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help Us develop the design and layout of the site to better meet the needs of visitors to Our website. This software does not enable Us to capture any personally identifying information.

How We use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps Us analyse data about web page traffic and improve Our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help Us provide you with a better website, by enabling Us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives Us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with Us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Links to other websites

Our website contains links to other websites and Our chosen partners. However, once you have used these links to leave Our site, you should note that We do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, We cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Security to protect your information and data retention

As required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given Us, to prevent unauthorised access.

Our security procedures mean that We may request proof of identity before We are able to disclose sensitive information to you.

We will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires, and We will remove your information earlier if you request Us to do so in writing via the email address below.

Data passed to third parties

Occasionally, We may choose to pass on your information to a partner recruitment agency in order to assist Us with carrying out our services.

In the circumstances set out in this policy where We do pass your information to a third party, We will ensure that the security measures that such party has in place in relation to the processing of your data are at least as stringent as those employed by Us. This does not apply where We are required by law to pass your information to a third party.

If you have any further questions about Our Privacy Policy or its implementation, please contact Us via Our website. If We decide to change Our Privacy Policy, We will update those changes on this Privacy Policy so that you are always aware of what information We collect, how We use it and in what circumstances We disclose it.

Controlling your personal information

If you prefer for Us not to contact you for other business related services using your personal information, you may instruct Us in writing by emailing us at info@divalentinecalver.co.uk
