  1. Site Visit Tracking

This site uses Google Analytics to track user search parameters and use of the site. This data is used to determine the number of people using the site, to understand how web pages are found and used and to gain insight into journeys through the web site.

Although Google Analytics records data such as geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies users to us. Google Analytics also records a computer’s IP address which cannot be used to personally identify the user as Google prohibits this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor.

Google Analytics makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides.

Disabling cookies on an internet browser will stop Google Analytics from tracking any page visit within this web site.

  1. Email links

Should you choose to contact us using the email link or the Contact Form, none of the data supplied will be stored by this web site. It will form the basis of an email that will be sent to the relevant individual at ITS Technical Recruitment.

  1. Site Registration and CV Upload

ITS Technical Recruitment may invite you to submit personal information about you through, for example, the “Upload your CV” option on the web site or the “Apply Now” section of a job posting. The information you provide us will normally include, name, address, email address and other relevant information and may include personal information.

This information is used by us to:

  • Provide our recruitment services to you, whether you are a client, candidate or a user of our web site.
  • Enable you to submit your CV generally, to apply for specific jobs.
  • Provide information on suitable job opportunities to people who register with us, to match your profile with suitable job vacancies and to assist us in finding a position that is most suitable for you.
  • Answer your enquiry.
  • Provide other services related to or supplementary to the above; market products and services directly to you to your professional or business email address.

Only where we have your consent, we will also use your information to:

  • Send your personal information to clients in order to apply for jobs;
  • Market products and services directly to your personal email address where opt-in applies.

To provide you with an efficient service, your information may be shared by consultants working within ITS Technical Recruitment.

We will only hold your information for as long as is necessary to comply with our statutory and contractual obligations and in accordance with our legitimate interests as a data controller.

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your personal data is maintained and up to date. However, if you would prefer that your information is changed or permanently deleted then do inform us so that we can ensure that it is up to date or deleted accordingly.

Personal information that you may provide to us (including sensitive information) may be provided to clients for the purposes of assessing your suitability as a candidate.

We may also process information about you where it is available from public sources. For example, if you have a professional profile online, we may combine that type of information with the information you provide directly to us or in the case of clients what your organisation has provided us.

By sending us your CV, you are indicating your consent for ITS Technical Recruitment to process your personal details in the manner described above.

Once you have sent us your CV, we may keep in touch by email to let you know about industry news, events and/or job alerts. Should you decide you’d prefer not to receive these updates, please contact us at any time at stewart@itstechnicalrecruitment.co.uk and if you provide us with your email address and contact details we can unsubscribe you from further contact.

You have the right to request a copy of the information we hold for you on our systems. Please note that we will not provide the following types of information in response to a data access request: information about other people, opinions given in confidence or privileged information. Other types of information may also be exempt under data protection laws (e.g., data relating to the commission of offences or estimates of damages).

If you submit a comment to a blog post published on this website some personal information will be stored within this website’s database. This is currently the only occasion where personal data will be stored on this website. This data is currently stored in an identifiable fashion; a limitation of the content management system that this website is built on (WordPress). In the near future we aim to change the storage of this data to a pseudonymous fashion meaning that the data would require additional processing using a separately stored ‘key’ before it could be used to identify an individual.

Pseudonymisation is a recent requirement of the GDPR which many web application developers are currently working to fully implement. We are committed to keeping it as a high priority and will implement it on this website as soon as we are able to.
