Privacy Policy

How Ashford Kane collects, uses and protects your personal data.

What we collect

When you submit a CV, contact form, or register interest in a role, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, phone number, CV/work history, and the specialism or role area you're interested in.

Why we collect it

We use this information to match you to relevant roles, respond to your enquiry, and — where you're an employer — to progress your hiring request. We rely on legitimate interest as our lawful basis for processing candidate data for recruitment purposes, and your consent, given at the point of submission, to be contacted about opportunities.

Who we share it with

Your CV and details are only shared with a specific employer when we're actively putting you forward for a role — we will never send your CV to a client without discussing it with you first.

How long we keep it

We retain candidate data for up to 12 months from your last contact with us, after which it is deleted or you'll be asked to reconfirm you'd like us to keep it on file.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to be contacted. To do this, get in touch via the contact form.

Sensitive data

On occasion, we may need to process more sensitive information — for example, health information relevant to a role's physical requirements or workplace adjustments. We will only ever do this with your explicit consent, or where the law requires it.

Data security

Your data is stored securely and only accessed by Ashford Kane consultants directly involved in your application or enquiry.

Questions

If you have any questions about how your data is handled, contact us using the form on this site.
