Cookies
Your browser can read cookie files and in some cases remember your preferences, e.g. which content to display on the screen. They usually contain two pieces of information – a site name and a unique user ID. You can manage cookies from each of the major browsers. Remember that some of our websites features won’t work with cookies turned off.

Usage data
We may process data including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. Our website analytics software is the source of the data, which may be processed for the purposes of analysing and improving the website and associated services.

We will share your personal data with our clients. This is fundamental and essential to:

• Introduce you to our client contacts for temporary assignments and permanent employment;
• enable our clients to observe their obligations where your personal data is necessary for your assignment (for example; for driving assignments we will share your driving licence); and,
• to enable our clients to audit our processes and compliance with our legal obligations in relation to supplying temporary labour.

We may also share your personal data that is necessary with:

• Our legal and professional advisors;
• master and neutral vendors or umbrella Companies for payroll purposes;
• 3rd parties for referencing purposes;
• suppliers, customers and partnering Employment Business for the performance and compliance obligations of any contract we enter into with them or you;
• our client’s supply chain auditors
• our benefit providers; and,
• statutory authorities such as HMRC.

No third parties shall have access to your personal data unless the law allows them to do so or it is necessary in order to offer you work finding services or for the performance of your employment contract. In this case, only the personal data that is relevant and necessary shall be shared/transferred.

We do not envisage that your data would be transferred outside the EU. If we perceive the need to do that, we would discuss that with you and explain the legal basis for the transfer of the data at that stage.

1. For the purpose of carrying out the employment contract or to take steps to enter into an employment contract;
2. to comply with our legal obligations; and/or,
3. for the purposes of our “legitimate interests” (except where such interests are overridden by your interests, rights or freedoms).

Our “legitimate interests” for these purposes are the need to:

1. Introduce you to clients and partnering employment businesses for temporary assignments and permanent employment;
2. process your data to enable us to carry out the employment contract;
3. gather your data for the purposes of safeguarding your health and safety;
4. transfer your data intra-group for administrative purposes;
5. process your data for the purposes of ensuring network and information security; and,
6. protect our legal position in the event of legal proceedings.

We will keep your Personal Data for no longer than is legally required and strictly necessary, having regard to the original purpose for which the data was processed.

We will retain your contact details for a period of two years after your last assignment to continue to offer you work finding services. If you no longer wish to be contacted for work during this period, you can let us know by contacting your local representative or via email at DPO@thestaffingggroup.co.uk

A copy of our Data Protection Policy and Document Retention Policy can be obtained from your local representative.
