Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting www.sociumpeople.com and taking the time to review our Privacy Policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and this policy sets-out how we go about doing that. 

We take your privacy extremely seriously and accordingly we have ensured that the way we collect, store and use customer and client data is in line with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), launched in May 2018. 

------------------------- 

Your Personal Information

Unless you choose to provide it to us (for example by sending us a direct message via our website and / or subscribing to our mailing list and / or mandating us to act on your behalf and / or entering into a contract with us), we will not collect any personal data from you when you visit our website. 

When you submit a message to us via our website, or subscribe to a mailing list on our website, we may store certain information (limited to name and / or email address and / or telephone number) about you. This information is held securely, in accordance with our internal security policy and the law.

We will only ever use this information to contact you regarding your job search, or to discuss new roles, or job opportunities that we think might be of interest to you.

Please note that our website will never automatically opt you in (via a pre-checked tick box) to receive direct marketing.

Providing Information to 3rd Parties

The information you provide to us will only ever be shared with third parties in the following instances:

  • Where you’ve provided us with consent to share your information with a prospective employer
  • If we’re asked to assist government fraud prevention agencies

------------------------- 

What we do with Personal Information

Where you have submitted your personal information to us (via our website), we will not use that personal information for any reason other than to contact you regarding open roles and / or future job opportunities. We will never share your personal information with third parties (for example, a prospective employer), unless you have provided your consent for us to do so.

We will only ever engage with you where you have provided consent for us to do so, using (only) the email address and / or telephone number you provided for this purpose.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to partner websites, or other websites we think may be relevant or useful for our customers. Please note however, that once you leave our website using one of the aforementioned links we have no control over the website you have linked to. Accordingly, we accept no responsibility for the protection / privacy of any information you provide whilst visiting websites outside of our own.

Additionally, this privacy policy does not apply to or govern any other website other than our own. We recommend users of our website always exercise caution when linking to an external website and take time to review the associated privacy policy for that site.

A cookie is a simple file that is stored on your computer by your web browser (once you’ve clicked to agree cookie usage). Most websites will use cookies to perform some level of usage analysis. Cookies provide data that allows applications to respond to website visitors as individuals by tailoring content to specific interests and usage patterns. 

We use cookies to track which pages on the website are being used and how frequently. Cookies also record the type of device, operating system and web browser used to access the website. Our cookies do record the IP address of the visitor. However, we do not use cookies to obtain any personal or private information (other than the data visitors chose to share). We only use this information to perform general statistical analysis in regard to site usage, user preferences and popular pages or content.

The Right To be Forgotten & Prevention of Direct Marketing

The only personal information we ever store for direct marketing purposes is name, email address (and in some instances telephone number). Email addresses are provided to us via functionality embedded within our website (i.e. when an individual subscribes to a mailing list or submits a direct message to us via our website).

We absolutely respect your right not to receive direct marketing (in the form of outreach concerning potential job opportunities). Should you wish to opt out of receiving marketing emails from Socium People Ltd, please send an email to info@sociumpeople.com requesting this. We will ensure that your email address is removed from all current (and made unavailable for any future) marketing campaigns and outreach within 28 days of receiving your request.

We fully acknowledge individuals 'right to be forgotten'. Should you wish for your data to be removed from our database in its entirety, please send an email to info@sociumpeople.com requesting this. We will delete all personal data we hold within 28 days of receiving your request. However, in some instances we may need to 'supress' your personal information (i.e. delete all but essential data, required to ensure we meet legal obligations relating to the tracking of personal data retention). Once those obligations have been fulfilled, all remaining data will be removed.
