2020-Recruitment (“the Company”) is a recruitment business which provides work-finding services to its clients and work-seekers. The Company must process personal data (including special category or ‘sensitive’ personal data) so that it can provide these services. In so doing, 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, CV, 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. See below for more details.

This Privacy Notice explains how we use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and how it is processed. It also explains your rights under the law relating to your personal data.
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “UK GDPR”), as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “the Data Protection Legislation”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 11.
It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, however, so please contact us first, using the details in Part 11.
The Company may collect and hold some or all of the following personal data and special category or ‘sensitive’ personal data:
Data Collected | How We Collect the Data |
Candidate Data Name Contact Details (Mobile/Email) Address National Insurance Number Nationality (for evidence of right to work) Education/Qualification Details Employment History Reference Contacts Emergency Contacts Bank Details Passport/Birth Certificate (ID) Any other relevant information required

Client Data If you are a client of 2020, we need to collect and process information about you, or individuals within your organisation, in the course of providing you or offering you services such as sourcing candidates who are the right fit for your Company, assistance with interviews, payroll services, any other relevant industry information. | Directly from yourself Candidates Media Sites (such as LinkedIn) Social Media Referrals Market Research Directories Events
|
Supplier Data A small amount of information is required from our Suppliers in order for us to communicate effectively as well as pay for the services provided. | We collect your data during the course of our work with you. |
Referees/Emergency Contacts We collect your contact details only where a Candidate gives them to us in order for you to act as a referee or where a member of our Staff or a Candidate lists you as their next of kin. | We use referee details in assisting our Candidates find suitable employment. We use emergency contacts in the event of an accident or emergency. |
Web Users We will collect your data automatically using cookies when you visit our website.
| We use your data to help improve your experience of using our website. If you are a candidate or a client we may use your data from the website to improve our communications or service to you. |
You are under no obligation to provide the Company with data. However, if you do not provide certain information, we will not be able to provide work-finding services.
The Company needs to collect and process data in order to offer work-finding services to you.
The Company will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. This includes, for example, contacting you about job opportunities, assessing your suitability for those opportunities, updating our databases, putting you forward for job opportunities, arranging payments to you, and developing and managing our services and relationship with you and our clients.
In some cases, the Company may be required to collect and process your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting, and detecting crime, and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.
We use the following automated systems for carrying out certain kinds of decision-making and profiling. If at any point you wish to query any action that we take on the basis of this or wish to request ‘human intervention’ (i.e. have someone review the action themselves, rather than relying only on the automated method), the Data Protection Legislation gives you the right to do so. Please contact us to find out more using the details in Part 11.
We may occasionally use an automated decision-making tool when advertising through third party job boards as an assessment too. For example we may ask if the candidate has a full driving licence if the job they are applying for requires it. If ‘no’ is selected then they would be automatically rejected for that particular position. This is seen as a logical measure to ensure only relevant candidates details are considered for further progression through our recruitment process. The significance for the candidate would be that their details would not be processed by the company and would not be successful in their application for the advertised job.
As a candidate we may ask you to participate in psychometric testing, assessments, complete tests and/or questionnaires for certain job opportunities where prospective employers request it. Your responses will be provided to and held by our third party provider of which a copy will be sent to us and the prospective employers.
The legal bases we rely upon to offer our services to you are:
The Company will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was originally collected, unless we reasonably believe that another purpose is compatible with those original purposes and need to use your personal data for that purpose. If we do use your personal data in this way and you wish us to explain how the new purpose is compatible with the original, please contact us using the details in Part 11.
If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to, or incompatible with, the purposes for which it was originally collected, we will inform you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
In some circumstances, where permitted or required by law, we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent. This will only be done within the bounds of the Data Protection Legislation and your legal rights.
The Company will only hold your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it.
Different laws may also require us to keep data for different periods of time.
The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 require us to keep work-seeker records for at least one year from:
The Company must also keep your payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay, and pensions auto-enrolment records. These records are retained for as long as is legally required by HMRC and associated national minimum wage, social security, and tax legislation.
Where the Company has obtained your consent to process your personal and sensitive data, we will do so in line with our Data Protection Policy. Upon expiry of the period to which you have consented, the Company will seek further consent from you. Where consent is not granted, we will not continue to process your data.
Data is stored in a range of different places, including on your application record, in the Company's candidate management systems and in other IT systems (including the Company's email system).
We will only store or transfer some of your personal data within the UK and the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation, GDPR, and/or to equivalent standards by law. The reason for this is that we work with global organisations and the personnel we deal with may work outwith the UK and the EEA. We will inform you of any known data transfer internationally.
The Company will process your personal data and/or sensitive personal data with the following recipients:
When your personal data is shared with a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 8.
If you want to know what personal data we hold about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it. This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within 2 weeks, and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
To contact us about anything to do with your personal data and data protection, including to make a subject access request, please use the following details for the attention of Robert Gilchrist:

We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection.
