• Your name, email address and telephone number.
• Your CV, employment history, qualifications and professional experience.
• Your job preferences, availability and other recruitment-related information you choose to provide.
• Information contained in employer enquiries, including business contact details.
• Technical information generated when you use our website, where applicable.

Please do not include National Insurance numbers, passport copies, identity documents, financial information or unnecessary sensitive personal information in your initial application.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Review candidates’ qualifications, experience and suitability for employment opportunities.
• Contact candidates about relevant vacancies.
• Maintain a candidate database for future recruitment opportunities.
• Respond to enquiries from employers and prospective clients.
• Communicate with candidates and employers about recruitment services.
• Meet applicable legal obligations and protect our legitimate business interests.

We do not sell candidates’ personal information.

4. Our lawful basis for using information

We must have a valid lawful basis under UK data protection law for each purpose for which we process personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on legitimate interests in providing recruitment services, taking steps requested by a candidate in relation to a potential engagement, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, these include matching suitable candidates with employment opportunities and maintaining appropriate recruitment records. We must assess and document whether those interests are outweighed by individuals’ rights and interests.

Any use of special-category information or criminal-offence information requires separate consideration and appropriate legal conditions.

5. Retaining CVs for future opportunities

When candidates submit their details, we may retain their CVs and recruitment information to consider them for suitable future vacancies.

Our standard retention period for candidate CVs is 12 months from the date we receive the application.

At the end of that period, we will review the information and securely delete it unless there is a documented, lawful reason to retain it for longer. Where appropriate, we may invite candidates to submit updated information for future recruitment consideration.

Candidates may ask us to stop considering them for future opportunities or request deletion of their information, subject to applicable legal exceptions.

Other records, such as records required for legal compliance or the handling of claims, may have different retention periods where justified.

6. Sharing your information

Where appropriate for recruitment purposes, we may share relevant candidate information with prospective employers or hiring organisations.

We will limit sharing to information reasonably necessary for the recruitment process and provide candidates with appropriate information about such disclosures.

We may also use service providers for website hosting, business email, secure storage and technical support. These providers may process personal information on our behalf under applicable contractual and security arrangements.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their unrelated marketing purposes.

7. How we protect information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including restricting access to authorised personnel, using secure storage and limiting the sharing of candidate documents.

Candidate records are reviewed and securely deleted when they are no longer required.

8. Your data protection rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal information.
• Ask us to restrict certain processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Request transfer of certain information where the right to data portability applies.
• Withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis used.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the privacy contact details above.

You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk.

9. International data transfers

GMS International Resources uses third-party service providers to support its website, business email and secure storage of candidate information.

Some of these providers may process or allow access to personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law. These may include transfers to countries recognised as providing adequate protection or the use of approved contractual safeguards.

You can contact us at info@gmsint.co.uk for further information about international transfers and the safeguards that apply.
