Privacy Policy

Silent Recruits Ltd ("Silent Recruits", "we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal data when you visit silentrecruits.com or use our recruitment services. We handle your information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Silent Recruits Ltd is a boutique finance recruitment agency based in London, United Kingdom. For any privacy matter, we are the data controller responsible for your personal data. You can reach us at info@silentrecruits.com or on +44 (0) 7424 460719.

Information we collect

We collect the information you provide to us directly, mainly through our online application form. This may include:

• Identity and contact details — your name, email address, telephone number and postal address.
• Application details — your CV, employment history, qualifications, current or desired role, notice period, salary expectations and LinkedIn profile.
• Eligibility details — your right to work in the UK and whether you require visa sponsorship now or in the future.
• Correspondence — any other information you choose to share with us when you contact us.

How we use your information

We use your personal data to provide our recruitment and career services, including matching you with suitable roles and clients, preparing and refining your application, and keeping you informed about relevant opportunities. Our lawful bases for processing are:

• Consent — which you give when you submit the application form, and which you can withdraw at any time.
• Performance of a contract — to take steps at your request before entering into, and to deliver, our services.
• Legitimate interests — to operate and promote our agency and to contact suitable candidates and clients, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligations — where we are required to process data to comply with the law.

Sharing your information

We treat your data as confidential. We may share it with prospective employers or clients, but only with your knowledge, and with trusted service providers who help us run our business (such as website hosting and email providers) under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required to do so by law. We do not sell your personal data.

How long we keep it

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy — typically up to 24 months after our last meaningful contact with you — after which it is reviewed and deleted. You can ask us to delete your data sooner at any time.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please email info@silentrecruits.com and we will respond within one month.

Cookies and our website

Our website uses only the cookies and similar technologies necessary for it to function and to keep it secure. Some content, such as web fonts, and our application form provider, may process limited technical information (for example your IP address) in order to deliver their service. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

Complaints

If you have any concern about how we handle your data, please contact us first so we can put things right. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.

We recommend reviewing this document periodically, as our services and legal requirements may evolve over time.
