We are the Controller of any Personal Data provided to you for potential Engagement and you are our Processor.

As Processor you shall:

  • only Process Personal Data in accordance with our written instructions (email included) to provide an Introduction (as detailed in the Data Protection Particulars) and as necessary to perform obligations under DP Law, except where otherwise required by law;
  • only use Personal Data for the specific vacancies the Candidate has indicated an interest in or appears suitable for;
  • not use any Personal Data to market your products and services (or those of third parties you work with) unless you have obtained the Candidate’s express consent;
  • not copy any Personal Data you obtain access to through our Portal onto your own systems or to hard copy. We can provide you with reporting for an additional charge;
  • not upload to the Portal derogatory comments or disparaging statements about a Candidate and/or any offensive or discriminatory language;
  • restrict access to the Personal Data to those Representatives who need to access it for the purposes of the contract and ensure they are appropriately trained in DP Law;
  • promptly comply with our request requiring you to delete, amend or transfer any Personal Data; and
  • notify us as soon as reasonably possible if your Data Representative changes.

You will become a Controller in your own right when you make an offer of a placement or employment to a Candidate.

You warrant that you:

  • have and will maintain throughout the term of the contract appropriate technical and organisational measures to Process Personal Data which shall ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of Misuse, including (as appropriate) the measures referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR;

  • the subject of monitoring or investigation by a regulatory body.

You shall notify us as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving a Data Request. You shall provide us with reasonable assistance to enable us to respond to the Data Request as required by DP Law. You shall not respond to any Data Request directly unless we ask you to do so (in writing, email sufficient). This obligation shall not apply where you are obligated by DP Law to respond to the Data Request and/or where you are prevented from meeting your obligations on important grounds of public interest.

What do you need to do if there is a problem involving personal information? 

On the occurrence of a Data Security Incident you shall:

  • take appropriate measures to secure the Personal Data and reverse or mitigate the impact of the Data Security Incident on Data Subjects (at your cost);

You shall at any time on written demand from us, or latest upon the expiry of the Data Retention Period, return or destroy (at our sole option) Personal Data you hold (or held by your Representatives). This obligation will not apply to the extent:

  • you hold the Personal Data as Controller (having Engaged the Candidate in employment);
  • you are required to retain the Personal Data by reason of law; or
  • the Personal Data has been anonymised.

You must not otherwise destroy or dispose of Personal Data in your possession.

Your liability to us for misuse of personal data:  

You agree to indemnify us and keep us indemnified from and against any loss which we suffer or incur as a result of a breach by you (or your Representatives) of your obligations under this contract and/or your obligations under DP Law, including without limitation:

  • the costs of any investigation or corrective action required by a regulatory body or fines imposed;

  • losses suffered, or incurred, by us, arising from a claim made by a third party against us relating to the Processing by you or your Representatives of Personal Data; and
  • any other losses suffered or incurred by us relating to the Misuse of Personal Data by you or your Representatives.

Your total liability to us arising under the indemnity above shall in all circumstances be limited to £1 million for all claims or connected claims arising, however nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude your liability for: (i) death or personal injury resulting from negligence; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) any liability that cannot be excluded by law. You agree to take out and maintain in place with a reputable firm insurance in respect of your obligations and liabilities under this contract providing cover consistent at least with best industry practice and in an amount of not less than £1 million for each and every claim or series of connected claims arising from this contract or if higher, the amount required by law.
