Privacy Policy

Within the Eligo Group of Companies (Eligo Recruitment Limited, Eligo Security Limited and Eligo Medical Limited) protecting your privacy is very important to us. 

Our Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which we process any personal data that we collect from you or about you that you provide to us or that we receive from other sources. It also sets out how we expect you to assist us in protecting third party data we require to collect such as that provided by our suppliers and customers. We’re committed to protecting the privacy of our employees, candidates, suppliers, contractors, customers, and users of our website, I.T., and telephonic systems, and provide a safe and secure user experience. 

The Eligo Group of Companies will always treat your personal information with the utmost respect and act in accordance with this Privacy Policy and legislation as set out in The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR) in so far as it may still apply in England or other parts of the United Kingdom.

 

Our Privacy Promise

We promise that we’ll tell you how we use your data and we’ll use it to provide the best service possible for you. Plus, we’ll make sure we collect and store your data securely. 

 

The way we process and use your personal data will always conform to the way we work throughout our organisation, linking to our values and continued emphasis on our services being all about you.

 

Doing the right thing

You are our number one priority. We have to collect and keep a little data about you, like your name and home/business address, email address, and other items listed later in this policy document. We also have to share your data with our trusted partners, such as our accountants or 3rd party who process our P.A.Y.E. system and H.M.R.C. and occasionally with customers to successfully do our job as a painting and decorating company. We also have to share your data with our trusted partners, such as our lovely clients or candidates to successfully do our job as a recruitment agency.  

We promise to collect, process, store, and share your data safely and securely. We’ll also make sure that the other businesses we work with are just as careful with your data.

 

We’ve got your back

Ultimately, we use your data to ensure you are paid the correct amount (employees and contractors), get you a job (candidates), invoiced for the correct amount (customers), paid the correct amount to the correct bank account (suppliers) or for the reasons you’ve provided consent to store and use your data (marketing communication, useful information, etc.). We’ll use the details you share with us to let you know about employment opportunities suited to you, keep you updated whilst working with us, or for other things that might be relevant to your employment or to your job hunt. Should you not arrive for work and we are unable to contact you, we may also use your information to get in touch with your nominated emergency contact to find out if you are unwell or otherwise ascertain you are safe. For our suppliers and customers, we may use the information you have provided to advise you of changes to our working hours or schedules for delivering work, ordering or delivery requirements, or sending you reminders in relation to actual or proposed works to be carried out on your behalf. Plus by listening to what our candidates and clients tell us, we can make changes, secure you the best opportunities, and make things better where we can.

 

Going beyond expectation

We make sure our recruitment service is all about you. This means that throughout working with us we’ll be able to provide a service tailored directly to your needs. If you choose to receive email marketing from the Eligo Group of Companies, we can let you know about new opportunities or services, provide you with useful content and updates from us and continue to go beyond the remit of what you expect from your recruitment agency.

Remember that whatever consent you give, you’re in control and are able to manage these preferences at any time.

 

Be more you 

You’re always in control of your data and are welcome to amend your preferences at any time.

If you would like to stop receiving marketing from us, you are able to review and amend your preferences at any time by (volcanic or RDB) or emailing us at dataprotection@eligo.co.uk. If the information we hold on you is wrong, you can email us at dataprotection@eligo.co.uk , let us know what needs updating and we will correct it.

 

 

When it comes to your data, with the Eligo Group, it really is all about you.
