Privacy policy

TechWaves Recruitment (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we may collect when you use this website, contact us, or work with us on recruitment or consultancy, how we use it, and your rights under UK GDPR and related legislation.

Who we are

The data controller is TechWaves Recruitment, operating from Leamington Spa, United Kingdom. For privacy enquiries, contact us using the details on the contact page.

What we collect

We may process identification and contact details (for example name, email address, telephone number, company name), professional information shared in CVs or profiles, notes from conversations, and technical data such as IP address and basic analytics when you accept optional analytics cookies.

How we use data

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, deliver recruitment and consultancy services, manage contracts and billing, comply with legal obligations, and — where permitted — improve our website through aggregated analytics.

Lawful bases

Depending on the activity, we rely on legitimate interests (running a professional services business and securing our website), performance of a contract, consent (for example optional marketing or non-essential cookies where required), or legal obligation.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with trusted processors who support our website, email, calendar booking, or IT security, under appropriate agreements. We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law.

International transfers

Where data is processed outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required.

Your rights

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability, in line with applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK. To exercise your rights, contact us on the details above.

This policy is provided as general information and does not constitute legal advice. You should obtain independent legal advice for your specific situation.
