OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

By law, we need a legal basis for processing the personal data of a website user. We will process your data using the legal basis of consent and legitimate interests.

Consent

Consent is given where we ask you for permission to use your information in a specific way and you agree to this.  Where we use your information for a purpose based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent for this purpose at any time. For example, you consent to receive our Newsletter by email.

Legitimate interests
We have a basis to use your personal information if it is reasonably necessary for us to do so and in our “legitimate interests” (provided that what the information is used for is fair and does not unduly impact your rights).

For example, A&D Recruitment has a legitimate interest to keep your personal data a suppression list so that we don’t email you again when you have opted-out.  We only rely on legitimate interests where we have considered any potential impact on you, whether or not our processing is excessive and that our processing does not override your rights.

We process the following data because we have a legitimate interest:

  • the IP address and the MAC address when you visit our website enables us to keep our website secure
  • keeping your data in our system in order to keep it secure
  • your email in a suppression list so that we don’t email you again by accident

HOW LONG DO WE HOLD YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We hold your data:

  • for enquires – 6 months
  • for marketing – until you withdraw consent or until we see that you are no longer opening the emails. We review our consents every year.
  • for security – 1 year
