Information We Collect

We only collect what we need to book your consultation, run it, and place a candidate with you.

  • Booking details — the name, email address, time zone, chosen slot, and any notes you enter when you book a consultation through the scheduling tool embedded on our contact page.
  • Meeting details — the calendar invitation, the video call link, and any notes we take during the consultation.
  • Candidate information — if you apply to work through Talently, the CV, work history, references, and assessment results you submit to us.
  • Correspondence — emails, call notes, and messages exchanged with our team.
  • Technical information — IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you visited, collected automatically by our hosting and analytics providers.

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16, and we do not ask for special category data (such as health or ethnicity) unless [Company Name] is legally required to.

03

How and Why We Use It

Every use of your information has a lawful basis behind it. In plain terms:

Booking, preparing for, and running your consultationLegitimate interests
Shortlisting and placing candidates with youContract
Invoicing, accounting, and tax recordsLegal obligation
Improving the website and measuring what worksLegitimate interests
Sending you occasional service updatesConsent

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects.

04

Who We Share It With

We share information only with the suppliers who help us run the service, and only as far as they need it to do their job.

  • [Hosting Provider] — hosting this website and delivering its pages.
  • [Email Provider] — handling the messages you send us and our replies.
  • Cal.com — the scheduling tool embedded on our contact page, which takes your booking, holds the slot, and sends the confirmation.
  • [Video Call Provider] — hosting the consultation call and issuing the meeting link.
  • [CRM Provider] — storing enquiries and placement records.
  • [Analytics Provider] — aggregate website usage statistics.
  • Clients — where you are a candidate, we share your profile with the hiring company only once you agree to be put forward.
  • Professional advisers and authorities — where the law requires it.

05

International Transfers

Talently works across borders by design: our clients, our team, and our candidates are not all in the same country, so your information may be transferred outside [Home Jurisdiction].

Where that happens, we rely on an adequacy decision or on standard contractual clauses with the receiving party, so your information keeps the same level of protection it has at home.

06

How Long We Keep It

We keep information for as long as it is useful for the purpose it was collected, then delete it.

Enquiries that did not become clients[12 months]
Client records and placement history[6 years]
Candidate profiles not placed[24 months]
Invoices and accounting records[6 years]
Website analytics[14 months]

07

Security

This site is served over HTTPS, access to our systems is limited to the people who need it, and accounts are protected with multi-factor authentication wherever the provider supports it.

No transfer of information over the internet is ever completely secure. If a breach affects your rights, we will tell you and [Supervisory Authority] within the timeframe the law sets.

08

Cookies and Tracking

We keep cookies to a minimum — there are no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this website. The booking tool on our contact page is loaded from Cal.com inside a frame and sets its own strictly necessary cookies, which hold your booking while you complete it.

Booking tool — holding your consultation bookingAlways on

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the strictly necessary ones may stop parts of the site working.

09

You have the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Have inaccurate information corrected.
  • Ask us to delete information we no longer need.
  • Object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it.
  • Ask us to send your information to another provider.
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is what we relied on.

Write to [Contact Email] and we will respond within [30 days]. There is no charge for a reasonable request.

10

Contact and Complaints

If something about this policy is unclear, or you think we have handled your information badly, tell us first — most things are quicker to fix directly.

You also have the right to complain to [Supervisory Authority] at [Supervisory Authority Contact].

We review this policy whenever our service or our suppliers change. The effective date at the top of the page tells you which version you are reading.
