    • How long do we keep your personal data for?
      In most circumstances your data will not be retained for more than 5 years from the last point at which we provided any services or otherwise engaged with you. It is our policy to only store your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations and for our legitimate business interests. The following sets out the lengths of time we are required by law to retain your data or certain elements of your data:
    • for 12 months from the date we last provided our recruitment services to you for the purposes of providing evidence of the recruitment services we provided to you (Regulation 29 of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003);
    • for 2 years from the end of your last period of engagement or employment for the purposes of providing evidence that right to work checks were carried out under The Immigration (Restrictions of Employment) Order 2007;
    • for 3 years from the end of the relevant year for the purposes of any parental/adoption leave records or statutory maternity or paternity pay; and
    • for 5 years from the end of each tax year for the purposes of retaining payroll records under the Income Tax (Employment and Pensions) Act 2003,
    • for 5 years from the end of each tax year for the purposes of keeping VAT records for any VAT registered limited company contractors.

However, we may retain data for longer than a 5 year period where we have a legal or contractual obligation to do so, or we form the view that there is otherwise a continued basis to do so, for example where your personal information identifies specialist skill sets which may remain in demand, or we are subject to a legal obligation which applies for a longer period.
If, however, you believe that we should delete your personal data at an earlier date, please inform us in writing of your reasons. Please see Section 9 below for ‘Your Rights’.
