What we collect

Thorp & Partners collects Personal Data every time you send your details to us: for example, when you submit an enquiry to us, email us, or communicate with us via other forms. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Personal Data is accurate and up to date and to inform us of any changes that need to be made.

We collect the information necessary for us to advise you on your suitability for search assignments that we are handling and to assess your eligibility through the different stages of a rigorous recruitment process. This information includes full contact details, CVs, identification documents, educational records, work history, remuneration and references. In some cases, we may also collect sensitive personal data about you. However, we only collect sensitive personal data, and further process this data, where you have given your explicit consent.

Where we collect personal data about you

The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:

• Directly from you. This is information you provide while searching for a new opportunity and/or during the different recruitment stages.
• From an agent/third party acting on your behalf. e.g. an Outplacement or Interim Management firm.
• Through publicly available sources. We use the following public sources:
  • LinkedIn
  • Not Actively Looking
  • Traditional and digital media
  • Other public sources of industry information, such as TechMarketView
• By reference or word of mouth. For example, you may be recommended by a former employer, a former colleague, a present employer or an industry source.

• providing a personalised and improved service to you and to our clients.

Controlling your personal information

We have taken steps to ensure that your Personal Data is kept secure.

We will not disclose your personal information to anyone without first obtaining your express permission. This may be sought by email, phone, messaging or in person. We do not check the accuracy of your CV before sending it to prospective employers; it is therefore your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any CV before you submit it to us.

We share your personal data with our client who has a position to fill, in order to determine with the client whether you are a good fit for the available position.

We may also conduct checks on you to verify the information you have provided. Having first gained consent from you to do so, we may share your information with a verification company or relevant organisation, for example an academic or professional body registrar, to confirm educational and business qualifications.

For prospective candidates, interim managers, referees and clients, our processing of personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests in that we need the information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees.

If you are shortlisted as a candidate, then this may involve the processing of more detailed personal data, including sensitive data such as health information, that you or others provide about you. In that case, we always ask for your consent before undertaking such processing.

If you do not provide the personal data that we need or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, we may not be able to match you with available job opportunities. Note, we do not carry out automated profiling.

We reserve the right to hold any information which you have supplied to us until such time as you inform us that you no longer wish us to hold such information. You may ask us to delete your Personal Data at any time by emailing us at mail@thorp-partners.com.

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you information about roles with third parties which we think you may find interesting, if you tell us that you wish this to happen. We will not send your details or information, which you have sent us, to third parties without your express permission.

You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. A small fee will be payable. If you would like a copy of the information held on you, please email us at mail@thorp-partners.com.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please email us as soon as possible at mail@thorp-partners.com. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.

Personal Data may be transferred to a third party if all or part of Thorp & Partners is sold, merged or otherwise transferred to another entity.

Given that the internet is a global environment, using the internet to collect and process Personal Data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by browsing the site and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to us processing your Personal Data in this way. Please note that other countries' privacy laws may be different from those in the UK. Where we transfer data to a country which has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards, we take extra care to protect your information.

We reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain from you to governmental or regulatory authorities, if required by law.
