Privacy Policy

We care about your information

Magic Connect Ltd is both a Data controller and Data processor for the purposes of Data Protection Legislation. Relevant, authorised members of our staff will have access to this information.

We ask you to share information with us so that we can provide you with work-finding and related services.

This notice advices you what you can expect from us and how we will protect your rights.

This applies to information we collect about our workers, staff members and individuals who work at the companies we do business with.

Magic Connect Ltd has a full Data Protection, Retention and notification of breaches policy which are available to review if required.

Why do we process your information?

We process information about you (known as “personal data”) to enable us to carry out our business as an employment agency for the purposes of both permanent and temporary recruitment services.

As an employment business working in partnership with recruitment agencies, we have obligations to ensure that any candidate is suitable for the vacancy and the vacancy is suitable to the candidate and to do so, we need to collect and process some relevant information.

We also process some information to help us make sure we are delivering a quality service that treats people fairly and legally, prevents modern slavery and to ensure that we continually improve.

Who will we share your information with?

In order for our partners/suppliers and end clients to consider workers for assignment opportunities, we need to share worker information with them. We have contracts in place with these clients that require them to treat any such information as confidential and to not share this with other parties.

From time to time, we may be audited by third parties to ensure that we are operating a legally compliant and ethical business. These third parties my include Government regulatory and enforcement audits, independent social compliance audits and client audits.

What are your rights?

All individuals have the following rights regarding their personal information (also called “personal data”).

The right to be informed

You have the right to know what information we hold about you, what we are using it for, who we are sharing it with, how long we are keeping it and on what basis we are processing the data.
Whilst we always prefer to process data based on your explicit consent, as a recruitment business, we also have a “legitimate interest” in processing your data to ensure we are matching you to suitable vacancies.
There may also be times when we have to process your data because we are required to by law.

The right of access

If you would like to see the records we hold on file for you we will arrange this on request.

The right to rectification

If you believe we are holding incorrect information, you can ask us to correct it.

The right to erasure

You can ask us to remove your information from our records. As long as there is no legal requirement for us to keep them (for example, HMRC require us to keep payroll records for 6 years) we will remove your details. Once your details are removed, we will be unable to contact you with any work opportunities in the future.

The right to restrict processing

Instead of asking for your data to be erased, you can ask us to stop processing it, for example, we can keep your records on file, but you can ask us to stop contacting you with work opportunities.

The right to data portability

If you want to take your data to another organisation, this can be arranged.

The right to object

You have the right to object to your data being processed. We will stop processing your information immediately unless there are legal reasons for us not doing so.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights in this notice, or have any queries, please contact Magic Connect Ltd.
