General Information

Amtis Talent Solutions Ltd (referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”) are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with the utmost care and security. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your personal information in connection with our recruitment services and activities.

 

Purpose of processing and legal basis

We will collect and process your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) for the purpose of providing you with recruitment related services. In order to process your data, we must have a legal basis to do so. In the majority of cases, your data will be processed on the basis of legitimate interests. Depending on the nature of services we provide you with, we may need to process additional personal data in order to enter into a contract with you. We may also seek extra consent from you in order to process certain types of data, such as special category data.

As a recruitment company, our business relies on collecting and processing personal data. It is therefore in our interests to process your data for the purposes of recruitment related services, whether you are a candidate looking for a job or a client seeking employees. It is also in your interests, as without processing your data we cannot provide you with our services.

 

The type of personal information we collect

While providing our services to you, we will process the following categories of data (among others):

• Your name and contact details
• If you are a client seeking employees, your current job title within the company
• If you are a candidate, your work history and all other details contained within your CV

You may provide this data to us directly by contacting us about our services or applying to a job advertisement. On occasion may also collect the data from publicly available sources (including but not limited to your profile on a job board, linkedin, company website etc) in order to introduce our services to you.

 

Storing your data

Your data will be stored on our database, which is provided by TrackerRMS. Depending on the nature of service we provide you with, your data may also be stored on our network drives and in our accounting software.

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. Different laws require us to keep different data for different periods of time. You can object to us storing your data at any time by emailing info@amtis.co.uk

 

Sharing your data

If you are applying for a role with one of our clients, we will share your data with them so that they can progress your application. If you are a client, we will share your details with the candidate in order to properly inform them of the available job vacancy. We may also share your data with our auditors, accountants or government agencies when legally required to do so.

We will never sell your data onto third parties. We will not transfer it outside the EEA without your consent and without ensuring the appropriate safeguards are in place.
