Radley James Ltd (“Radley James”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data. It applies to candidates, prospective candidates, clients, prospective clients, business contacts, suppliers, website visitors and others who interact with us.

The information we collect and how we use it will depend on your relationship with us, so not every part of this Privacy Policy will apply to you.

1. Who we are

Radley James is a specialist recruitment company operating globally within the finance and technology sectors.

Registered company name: Radley James Limited
Registered address: 57a Broadway, Leigh-On-Sea, England, SS19 1PE
Company number: 07039305
ICO registration number: Information Commissioner’s Office
Privacy contact: enquiries@radleyjames.com

We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

2. Our role

For most of our recruitment and business activities, Radley James acts as a Data Controller, meaning that we determine why and how personal data is processed.

This includes identifying and contacting candidates, matching candidates with opportunities, introducing candidates to clients, managing placements, maintaining candidate and client relationships, business development and meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.

Where we introduce a candidate to a client, Radley James and the client may each act as independent Data Controllers and will be responsible for their own use of the candidate’s personal data.

In certain circumstances, we may act as a Data Processor where we process personal data solely on behalf of another organisation and in accordance with its instructions.

3. Information we collect

Depending on your relationship with us, we may collect:

• Contact and identity information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, location, company and job title.
• Candidate information, such as your CV or résumé, employment history, qualifications, skills, salary or compensation information, job preferences, availability, right-to-work information, interview information and references.
• Client and business information, such as business contact details, role requirements and communications with us.
• Communications, including emails, messages and notes relating to our interactions with you.
• Website and technical information, such as IP address, browser or device information and cookie data.

We may occasionally process sensitive or special category personal data where necessary and permitted by applicable law, for example health or disability information provided in connection with reasonable adjustments during a recruitment process.

4. Where we obtain your information

We may obtain personal data directly from you or from other appropriate sources, including:

• professional networking platforms, such as LinkedIn;
• job boards and recruitment databases;
• referrals and recommendations;
• clients;
• referees;
• publicly available professional sources; and
• service providers that provide professional or business information.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate privacy information when we obtain your personal data from another source.

5. How and why we use your information

We may process personal data to:

• provide recruitment services and match candidates with suitable opportunities;
• contact candidates about current and future opportunities;
• assess candidate suitability and manage recruitment processes;
• introduce candidates to clients and manage placements;
• manage client and business relationships;
• maintain and improve our recruitment systems and services;
• communicate about our services and relevant business opportunities;
• operate and secure our website and systems; and
• comply with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations and establish or defend legal claims.

Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis, we may rely on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, legal obligations or consent, depending on the processing involved.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether our interests are necessary and appropriately balanced against your rights and interests.

You can opt out of direct marketing communications at any time.

6. Who we share your information with

Where necessary, we may share personal data with:

• clients and prospective employers in connection with recruitment opportunities;
• service providers that support our recruitment systems, IT, communications, hosting and other business operations;
• professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants, auditors and insurers; and
• regulators, courts, law enforcement or other authorities where required or permitted by law.

Where a service provider processes personal data on our behalf, we require appropriate contractual and data protection safeguards.

We do not sell your personal data.

7. International transfers

As a global recruitment business, personal data may be transferred to, stored in or accessed from countries outside the country in which it was originally collected.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we use appropriate transfer mechanisms. These may include adequacy decisions, approved contractual clauses or other safeguards permitted under applicable data protection law.

You can contact us for further information about safeguards applicable to your personal data.

8. How long we keep your personal data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to meet applicable legal, regulatory, contractual or reporting obligations.

The appropriate retention period will depend on the nature of the personal data, the purpose for which it is processed and any applicable legal requirements.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it in accordance with our data retention procedures.

You can contact enquiries@radleyjames.com for further information about the retention of your personal data.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

• access your personal data;
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of your personal data;
• restrict or object to certain processing;
• request data portability;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• object to direct marketing.

These rights may be subject to legal limitations or exemptions.

To exercise your rights, contact enquiries@radleyjames.com.

Where applicable, you also have the right to complain to the relevant data protection or privacy regulator. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

10. Cookies

We use essential cookies to operate our website and, where required, obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You can manage your preferences through our cookie settings. Further information is available in our Cookie Policy.

11. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

Access to personal data is limited to those who require it for legitimate business purposes.

12. Automated processing

We may use technology to assist our recruitment consultants with activities such as searching, organising and matching candidate information with potential opportunities.

We do not make recruitment decisions based solely on automated processing or automated decision-making. Recruitment decisions involve human review and judgement by our recruitment consultants and/or our clients.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our business, services or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on our website with the updated date.
