Assess your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the placement. Carry out background and reference checks, where applicable. Communicate with you about the placement process.
Keep records related to our placement processes.
Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to put your details forward for a placement with our client(s).
Having received your CV and covering letter or your application form, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be put forward for a placement with our Client(s). If we decide you meet the criteria then we may take up references and/or carry out a criminal record and/or carry out any other check before passing your details on to our client(s).
If you fail to provide personal information
If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check or references for a placement and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.
How we use particularly sensitive personal information
We will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:
We will use information about your disability status to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the selection process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during a test or interview.
We will use information about your race or national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.
Information about criminal convictions
We envisage that we will process information about criminal convictions.
We will collect information about your criminal convictions history if we would like to put you forward for a placement with our Client(s) (conditional on checks and any other conditions, such as references, being satisfactory). We are entitled to carry out a criminal records check in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the placement.
We have in place an appropriate policy document and safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.
Automated decision-making
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
Data sharing
Why might you share my personal information with third parties?
We will only share your personal information with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your placement:
Client(s); Any Yacht company who we consider would be suitable for you to be placed with. In the event a Client wishes to place you with them, they will become Controllers of your Personal Data and will be directly responsible to you for associated Data Protection Obligations.

Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Data retention
How long will you use my information for?
We will retain your personal information for a period of seven years after we have communicated to you our decision about whether we wish to place you with a Client. We retain your personal information for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
