What personal data do we collect about you? How will we use that personal data?

At Macildowie, we believe that our candidates are the life blood of our business and we value each and every one of you. With that in mind, we want you to know that we take the privacy of your data very seriously. We need to collect and process your personal data in order to assist you in finding work. That’s what we’re here for.

There are two ways that we could have your data. Firstly, if you sent it to us (eg emailed us your CV, applied for a job through us on a job board website or uploaded your CV to our website). Secondly, we found your data by searching a job board’s CV directory as we thought we could help in your search for work. If you’re not sure how we first received your data, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will let you know.

The following table tells you what we do with your data, depending on which of the above categories you fall in to:


What date do we collect

You sent us your data

Your name, email address, phone number and all data from your CV and/or our registration form

We found your data on a jobsite

Your name, email address, phone number and all data from your CV and/or online profile


What we do with it

We enter it into our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. Sometimes we do this ourselves, sometimes we send it through a clever piece of software which takes that data from your CV and populates our CRM for us.

Rest assured that Macildowie and our approved processors are the only ones with access to it.


What is our legal basis for processing your data?

Legitimate Interest

We have a legitimate interest in processing your data to find you work if:

  • You have sent us your data; or
  • We have meaningful contact with you; or
  • You are engaged in a recruitment process with us.

Consent

We found your data on a jobsite, so we will ask for your consent to initially process it to make sure you are happy with us doing so.


What we do with it

You have the right to request we delete it. Just email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will happily respect your wishes. A full list of your rights are at the bottom of this document.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Just email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will happily respect your wishes.

A full list of your rights are at the bottom of this document.


We may be required to see proof of your right to work in the UK, which is normally done by taking a copy of your passport, birth certificate or other suitable document. Most of these contain information about your country of origin, which could be considered “Special Category” data under GDPR. If we find you temporary work, then we have to take a copy of these documents to fulfil our legal obligations to you as your employer – please see the separate FPN for Macildowie Employees. Rest assured, we do not do anything with this information except attach a copy to your file. On rare occasions, we may be asked to send this data to a third-party company (e.g. the client you are working with).

On occasions, candidates have provided us with some medical data (e.g. if you needed us to make special arrangements for an interview). This is one of a number of types of data classed as “Special Category” which you may have chosen to send us alongside the personal data listed above. We have taken this affirmative action as your consent to hold and process the information, however if you feel this is not the case then please contact us. We will not share this info with any third-party companies unless you explicitly ask us to.

Do we use any automated decision making?

We do not use any automated decision making.

Who do we share your personal data with?

We share your data with:

  • Our software providers, (e.g. our CRM provider or external assessment software)
  • Our professional advisors (e.g. legal advisors, accountants etc.)
  • Our clients (but only after speaking to you about a specific role)
  • Professional bodies (if we need to conduct qualification checks)

Do we transfer your personal data outside of the EU or EEA?

We do not transfer your personal data outside of the EU as a general rule. If we discuss a role with you which requires us to send your data outside the EU then we will speak to you in advance.

Your rights as a data subject

The GDPR gives you rights as a data subject. You have:

  1. The right to request from us access to your personal data;
  2. The right to request from us rectification of your personal data;
  3. The right to request from us erasure of your personal data;
  4. The right to request from us restriction of processing your personal data;
  5. The right to object to our processing of your personal data;
  6. The right of data portability;
  7. If we are processing your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To do so please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before you withdrew it; and
  8. You have the right to complain to the ICO if you feel that we have been unable to resolve your query.

More information on your rights can be found in Chapter 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
