Overview
Dunbar Brown Group is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all candidates, clients, and contacts. We operate in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it.
What data we collect
We collect personal information you provide directly — including your name, contact details, CV, employment history, and professional background — for the purpose of matching candidates with suitable roles and providing recruitment services to clients.
We may also collect information about your skills, qualifications, salary expectations, and career preferences where relevant to the recruitment process.
How we use your data
Your data is used solely to facilitate recruitment introductions. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties outside of the specific recruitment process you have engaged us for, without your explicit consent.
We will only present your details to a prospective employer after obtaining your agreement to do so.
Data retention
We retain candidate data for up to two years from the date of last contact. After this period, your data will be securely deleted unless you have asked us to retain it for longer or there is a legitimate business reason to do so.
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at contact@dunbarbrowngroup.com.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request erasure of your data, restrict or object to how we process your data, and request portability of your data in a machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly at contact@dunbarbrowngroup.com. We will respond within 30 days.
