- Using your Personal Information

It is important for us to have this information so we can find work opportunities for you and that is the only reason we will hold and use the information you provide us with.

We will only share information with the clients you are working with and will only pass on relevant information that is required for that specific engagement.

We will ensure the recipients of your information have adequate security in place to hold your information before sending it.

We will never pass on your information to any third party that has no legitimate interest or for any reason that would not be in your interest.

We will make every effort to ensure our database storage systems are secure from external attackers.

If required by law we may have to pass your information on to authorities who have a legislative right to access this information from us. We will always notify you of any request for information from official bodies prior to passing on any information.

- What do we use your information for?

The only reason we have to store your information is to contact you when we have work opportunities that fit your experience and qualifications. These are the ways we will use your information to find you work:

• Check you have the correct experience for the role
• Check you have the qualifications, certification and or cards      needed for the role
• Check you have all the required documents to allow you to work in      the UK

• Store details of your work history with Number 8

- When do we require your consent to pass on your information?

We do not require your consent if the request is from a government authority, however we will always notify you of any request for your personal information.

- Will we require information about criminal convictions?

We do not envisage that we will hold information about criminal convictions you may have unless they are specifically related to the work that you carry out.  If we do hold this information we would only pass

- How long will we store your information for?

We can hold your personal information as long as we have a legitimate reason for keeping it on our system. This means that if you are actively working with us or we are providing you with work opportunities.
