Privacy Notice

Privacy Policy

Edissero Limited is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy notice seeks to explain how we process your data in line with current Data Protection laws.

Legitimate Interest

Edissero Limited processes your data when it is in our legitimate interests to do so and when these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights. Our legitimate interests include providing career advice and guidance, contacting you about relevant opportunities, introducing you to potential employers or end clients and staying in touch throughout your career in technical communications.

What sort of data do we collect and retain?

Edissero Limited collects and retains personal data about you in the course of the recruitment process. Where you have applied for an advertised position, posted your CV and details on an accessible job board, CV repository or social network, or in response to a direct enquiry from you, we will retain information including your name, telephone numbers, email address, home address, personal website address, social media profiles, other contact details, information about your work history and experience, your curriculum vitae, your work samples and any other information you provide us. Other information that you freely give but which constitutes sensitive data (see definition below) will not be retained without your specific and freely given consent.

How is Personal Data used?

Information given freely by you when applying for a position, posting your details on a job board, CV repository or social network, or registering an interest with Edissero Limited is only used for the recruitment process. We will not divulge any information to a prospective employer without first obtaining your consent to submit your details to that prospective employer. Where you have given your consent for us to submit your details to a prospective employer we may share your data with them, but no more than is, in our reasonable opinion, appropriate for their evaluation of your suitability for their role. Prospective employers may have their own data protection policies.

How long is Personal Data retained?

As a specialist recruiter we typically form long term relationships with both clients and applicants, and help them to find suitable roles on multiple occasions throughout their technical communications careers. With that in mind we will retain your data on our secure database for as long as you are working in our specialist field, or until you retire, or tell us to delete your data. From time to time we may contact you to confirm your wish for us to either continue representing you or to confirm deletion of your data from our database. If we are unsuccessful in contacting you for over ten years then we will delete your personal data from our database.
