1. Who we are
The data controller is Ten-Percent.co.uk Limited, which operates Yorkshire Legal Recruitment and other Ten Percent Group recruitment services.
Head office: Ty Brith, Llandegla Road, Llanarmon-yn-Ial, Mold, CH7 4QX. Privacy enquiries may be sent to cv@ten-percent.co.uk or made by telephone on 0800 246 5001.
2. Information we collect
Depending on your relationship with us, we may collect identity and contact details; CV, employment, education, qualification and professional-status information; job preferences, availability, salary or rate expectations and right-to-work information; interview, reference, compliance and placement information; employer contacts and vacancy briefs; correspondence; and technical information such as IP address, browser type, server logs and security events.
Information may come directly from you, an employer, a referee, public professional sources, a job board, another group website or a source you have authorised.
Please do not send special category or criminal-offence information unless it is genuinely required for a role or compliance process and we have asked for it. Where necessary, we identify an additional legal condition for processing it.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to provide candidate, employer and locum recruitment services; assess potential matches; make agreed introductions; manage interviews, offers, placements and assignments; complete proportionate checks; respond to enquiries; maintain business records; protect our systems; meet legal obligations; and send relevant vacancy or service updates where permitted.
We do not sell personal information and do not use this website to make solely automated recruitment decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Lawful bases
Depending on the activity, we rely on steps before or performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent, or legal obligation. Legitimate interests include operating a specialist recruitment service, maintaining relevant records, matching candidates and employers, improving services and protecting systems, where those interests are not overridden by individual rights.
Your right to object: you may object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing. We will stop direct marketing when asked. Other objections will be considered against any compelling legitimate grounds or legal claims.
6. Retention and security
Typical retention periods are:
| Record | Typical period |
|---|---|
| Unplaced candidate or general recruitment enquiry | Reviewed after 24 months without meaningful contact; deleted, anonymised or refreshed unless there is a continuing reason to retain it. |
| Placement, assignment, contract and financial records | Generally up to six years after the relationship or transaction ends. |
| Marketing preference and suppression records | For as long as needed to respect the preference and demonstrate compliance. |
| Website security logs | Normally up to 90 days unless an incident requires longer investigation. |
Periods may be extended where law, a dispute, safeguarding or the establishment or defence of legal claims requires it. We use organisational and technical measures designed to protect information, but no internet or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
7. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to be informed, access information, correct it, request erasure or restriction, object, receive certain information in a portable format, withdraw consent and raise concerns about solely automated decisions. Some rights depend on the lawful basis and context. We may need to verify identity before responding.
8. Questions and complaints
Contact cv@ten-percent.co.uk to exercise a right or ask about this notice. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/. We would welcome the chance to address the issue first, but your right to contact the ICO is unaffected.
