Data Retention Policy

This Data Retention Policy ("Policy") describes how starapex recruitment ("we," "us," or "our") handles the retention and disposal of personal information collected through our website (www.starapexrecruitment.co.uk) and in the course of providing recruitment services. This Policy is designed to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations in the United Kingdom, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

1. Purpose of Data Retention

 

1.1. We collect and process personal information for various purposes, including facilitating job applications, communicating with job seekers and potential employers, and managing our recruitment services. It is important to retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

 

2. Types of Personal Information Retained

 

2.1. The types of personal information we may retain include, but are not limited to:

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email address, phone number)

  • Employment history and qualifications

  • Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume

  • References and feedback

  • Any other information provided by job seekers or potential employers

 

3. Data Retention Periods

 

3.1. We establish specific retention periods for different categories of personal information, taking into account the purposes for which the information was collected, legal and regulatory requirements, and business needs. Our retention periods are as follows:

  • Personal information related to job applications: Retained for a maximum of five years after the last interaction with the individual, or as required by law.

  • Personal information of registered users: Retained for as long as the user maintains an active account with us, or until the user requests deletion of their account.

  • Personal information related to unsuccessful job applications: Retained for a maximum of twelve months after the recruitment process is completed, or until the individual requests deletion of their personal information.

 

4. Data Disposal

 

4.1. At the end of the applicable retention period, personal information will be securely disposed of in accordance with our data disposal procedures. This may include permanent deletion from our systems, shredding of physical documents, or other appropriate methods to ensure the irreversible destruction of the information.

 

5. Data Subject Rights

 

5.1. Individuals have certain rights regarding their personal information under data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, update, or delete their information. If an individual requests deletion of their personal information before the end of the applicable retention period, we will comply with the request unless retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

 

6. Review and Updates

 

6.1. We will regularly review and update this Policy as necessary to ensure compliance with changes in applicable laws and regulations, as well as changes in our business practices. Any updates to this Policy will be communicated to affected individuals and posted on our website.
