Important: review before publishing. Confirm the company's exact registered legal name, how and where applicant data is stored, who it is shared with, whether any data is transferred outside the UK, and your actual retention periods. This draft is not a substitute for a review of your data practices.

1. Who we are

2. Information we may collect

Depending on your relationship with us, this may include your name, contact details, CV, employment and education history, qualifications, skills, salary expectations, job preferences, availability, correspondence, interview notes and references. We may also hold employer and client business contact information and details of recruitment requirements.

Where necessary and legally permitted for a specific role or process, we may process additional information such as right-to-work evidence or sensitive information. We will explain the purpose and applicable safeguards when relevant.

3. How we obtain information

We may receive information directly from you by email, telephone or other contact, from a CV or job application you provide, from professional networking or job platforms, from references, and from employers or clients involved in a recruitment process, where lawful.

4. Why we use information and our lawful bases

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, assess suitability for opportunities, communicate about vacancies, introduce candidates to prospective employers where appropriate, manage recruitment processes, provide services to clients, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations.

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful basis may be legitimate interests (for example, matching candidates with relevant vacancies and managing client relationships), steps taken at your request before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or consent where specifically required. We assess the appropriate basis for each activity rather than treating consent as the basis for everything.

5. Sharing your information

We may share relevant candidate information with prospective employers and hiring managers in connection with suitable opportunities, and with service providers who support our business (such as email, IT and data storage providers) under appropriate arrangements. We may also disclose information where required by law. We do not sell personal information.

We aim to tell candidates when their details are being submitted to an employer and to share only what is necessary for the recruitment purpose.

6. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of legal obligations, potential disputes and reasonable recruitment needs. Different records may have different retention periods. You can contact us at info@lockrec.com to ask how long particular information is held.

Before publication, add the actual retention periods or the specific criteria your business uses for candidate CVs, unsuccessful applicants, placed candidates and client records.

7. Security and international transfers

We take appropriate organisational and technical steps to protect personal information and restrict access to people who need it for legitimate business purposes. Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will ensure an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and safeguards are in place where required.

Confirm actual providers, storage locations, access controls and any overseas transfers before publication.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to access your personal information, correct inaccurate data, request deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, and receive or transfer certain information. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

To exercise a right, email info@lockrec.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

10. Website and cookies

It uses externally hosted images, which may involve requests to third-party servers. If we add analytics, embedded services, tracking technologies or online forms, we will review the relevant privacy information and cookie requirements before enabling them.

11. Updates
