Privacy Policy

Our principles on personal data

Our approach to data protection is built around four key principles. They're at the heart of everything we do relating to personal data.

• Transparency: We process personal data in an open, honest and transparent way.
• Enablement: We use data to enable connections between individuals and employers, finding the right role for the right person.
• Security: We ensure security through good organisational practice as well as technical measures — this is at the heart of what we do.
• Accountability: We promote the practice of good governance and the responsibility that comes with processing personal data.

You can find out more about the GDPR from the Information Commissioner's Office. This Privacy Notice is intended to set out your rights and answer any queries you may have about your personal data. If you need more information, please contact us.

Who we are

2 Recruitment Ltd is a specialist healthcare recruitment company. Where we act as a Data Controller, we are responsible for determining what personal data is processed and for what purpose. You have rights about how we process your data, which are listed in the section "Your privacy rights" below. You can always contact us for more information.

What information do we collect?

From the moment you contact us — whether by email, telephone, visiting our website, or some other means — we start collecting information about you. In some cases this is provided by you directly; at other times it may be collected automatically.

When visiting our website

We may use session cookies for our own use and management and to allow the website to function as expected — view our cookie policy. Our web servers may log IP addresses as part of their normal function.

First-party cookies used to enable functionality on this site are never shared with third parties. IP addresses in web server logs are never shared with third parties unless in response to an incident or a valid legal request. IP addresses are retained under the lawful basis of Legitimate Interest, because we have a legitimate interest in ensuring potential cyber-attacks against our website are logged. This data is retained for one month unless an incident occurs, in which case we may assess a longer retention period.

When you register or apply with us

We may hold the following categories of information: contact details, data that can identify you, location, employment information, your CV, and cookies with your user ID.

We hold the information you send us in order to assess job opportunities for you. We will not share your information with third parties without contacting you first and asking for your written consent.

If you provide personal information such as your CV, you may reasonably expect 2 Recruitment Ltd to evaluate your skills and employment record to find suitable positions for your consideration. This personal data is therefore processed on the basis of a contract, regardless of whether a position is found. We retain the information you provide for a period of 4 years after your last job placement with us. If you wish us to remove your information, please read "Your privacy rights" below.

When you refer a friend

If you recommend a friend, we will contact that person to gain their consent to hold and process their information, and we use your name as a reference in the introduction. The information we request may include your name, contact details and location, and your friend's name, contact details, employment information and location. If we cannot contact your friend within one month, or if they refuse consent, their details are deleted from our systems. The legal basis for processing this information is Legitimate Interest when it is provided to us, and then Consent if your friend agrees to us processing their data.

Your privacy rights

You have rights over how we store and process your data.

• You can choose not to provide us with personal data. You can still use our website, but we cannot interact with you about potential jobs.
• You can manage your browser cookies. We do not use third-party cookies with the exception of Google Analytics, nor cross-domain cookies that track you across different websites — and you have to accept cookies for these to be enabled. You can block cookies in your browser settings; disabling analytics cookies has no functional effect on your experience.
• You can ask us not to market to you. We may contact you with surveys or event invitations. If we intend to share your information with third parties, we'll let you know. You can opt out of marketing by contacting us.
• You have the right to access the information we hold on you. Contact us and within one month we will send you the categories of data we hold, the purpose we use it for, how long we plan to hold it, the categories of any third parties we may disclose it to, and your rights over our use of it. In some cases — for example where providing the data would infringe the rights of another party or an outstanding legal matter — some data cannot be shared, and we will tell you so.
• You have the right to object to, or restrict, processing. If you don't want your data deleted but wish processing of some or all of it to stop, you can request a restriction.
• You have the right to have your data erased. Contact us to arrange this. There are sometimes limitations — for example during a legal dispute, or where the information is still necessary for the performance of a contract.
• You can complain. You have the right to complain about the way we process your data to the ICO, the UK's Supervisory Authority. If you have a complaint, we'd ask that you contact us first to see if we can resolve your concern.

Data security

The 2 Recruitment Ltd website uses encrypted communications across the entire site (SSL). Data we store is held securely, backed up, and encrypted. We review our security measures regularly and ensure that identified risks are dealt with promptly.

The data you provide to us on this website does not get transferred outside of the UK or EU.
