Privacy Policy
2fawcett provides work finding services for job seekers, and for companies that want to hire them. To do so, we often have to process sensitive and personal data. Such data is normally supplied via your CV, application form and/or any other documentation provided by you, to verify your I.D., Right to Work in the UK, NI Number etc.
The Company is a recruitment business which provides work-finding services to its clients and work-seekers. The Company must process personal data (including sensitive personal data) so that it can provide these services – in doing so, the Company acts as a data controller.
You may give your personal details to the Company directly, such as on an application or registration form or via our website, or we may collect them from another source such as a jobs board. The Company must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you we will only use your personal data in accordance with the terms of the following statement.

If your data is accessible publicly, e.g. via a jobs board and we discover it, or you otherwise come to our attention as a potential applicant (e.g. you are recommended by a third party) we will (re)approach you for consent.
