Legal Link Recruitment Ltd is committed to assisting clients and candidates in finding suitable employment opportunities.

We may collect personal data, including sensitive information, directly from you or through sources such as job boards.

This data collection enables us to provide our services based on legal grounds, which include your consent, legitimate interests, legal obligations, contractual necessity, vital interests, and public interest or official authority.

We process your data when we have a legitimate reason that aligns with your reasonable expectations.

Our legitimate interests encompass maintaining an updated database, offering work-finding services, seeking consent when necessary, and informing you about similar services you have previously utilized.

Legal Link Recruitment Ltd may be required to collect certain personal information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, such as employment agency regulations, immigration laws, and tax legislation.

Without this information, we may be unable to continue providing our work-finding services.

We may share your personal data with clients seeking candidates, previous employers for reference purposes, payroll providers, other recruitment agencies, suppliers, vendors, banks, financial advisors, insurers, legal advisors, and governmental or regulatory bodies when legally obligated.

Legal Link Recruitment Ltd retains your data only as long as necessary to fulfill our services and comply with applicable laws. For instance, we maintain work-seeker records for at least one year and payroll records for 3-6 years, as required by tax and employment legislation.

For sensitive data provided with consent, we will seek additional consent when necessary; otherwise, processing of that data will cease.

In accordance with data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, and data portability, as well as the right to object to certain processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@legal-careers.co.uk.

If Legal Link Recruitment Ltd undergoes a sale or business integration, your personal data may be disclosed to advisers and transferred to the new business owners.

Access to your personal information is restricted to employees who require it to perform their specific duties, such as consultants, accounts personnel, or marketing team members.

Legal Link Recruitment Ltd takes reasonable measures to protect your personal information; however, please be aware that communication over email and the internet may not be entirely secure.
