When you use our website, we may collect information about you, including:
- information you provide through forms, assessments or job applications;
- correspondence and other messages you send to us;
- technical information about your use of our website; and
- information received from third parties, where permitted by law.
How we use your information
We may use your personal information to:
- provide information, services or assessment results you have requested;
- respond to your questions and enquiries;
- operate, maintain and improve our website and services;
- assess your suitability for a vacancy for which you have applied;
- consider you for other suitable vacancies; and
- comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
Where you apply for a job, we may share your information with another company in our group if we reasonably believe your skills and experience may be suitable for a role with that company. We will only do so where we have an appropriate lawful basis and will provide any additional information or choices required by law.
We may use aggregated or anonymised information to understand how visitors use our website and may share this information with third parties. This information will not identify you.
Business transfers
If our business enters into a joint venture, merger, reorganisation or sale, your personal information may be disclosed to prospective or new partners, owners or advisers where necessary. Any recipient will be required to handle your information appropriately and in accordance with applicable data-protection law.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, understand how the website is used and enable certain third-party features.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function may be placed without your consent. We will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies, including analytics or social-media cookies, where consent is required by law.
We do not use non-essential cookies to collect personal information or share information with advertising or marketing companies unless you have given the required consent.
You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or performance of some website features.
Third-party cookies and services
Our website may include features supplied by third parties, such as social-media sharing tools. These providers may place cookies or collect information when you interact with their features.
Third parties control their own cookies and use of personal information. We recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie notices. If you reject or disable their cookies, the relevant features may not work as intended.
Website analytics
With your consent, where required, we may use analytics cookies to compile visitor statistics and understand how people use our website.
We use this information for internal analysis and to improve the website. We do not use these statistics to identify individual visitors.
Forms and assessments
When you submit a form or complete an assessment, we will retain your contact details, responses and assessment results securely for up to 28 days. We use this information to:
- provide your results;
- respond to enquiries; and
- evaluate and improve the assessment.
We will not add you to a marketing mailing list unless you actively select the optional marketing consent box. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including meeting any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Contact details, responses and results submitted through an assessment will normally be deleted or anonymised within 28 days, unless we need to retain them for longer because of a legal obligation or an ongoing enquiry.
How we protect your information
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. Access is limited to people who have a legitimate business need to use the information.

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. We do not control those websites, and this Privacy and Cookie Notice does not apply to them.
