Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This policy explains how Haydon Specter Ltd collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website or our recruitment services. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

Haydon Specter Ltd ("we", "us", "our") is a recruitment business registered in England and Wales under company number 12546351, with its registered office at 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data.

For any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at info@haydonspecter.com.

2. The data we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

If you are a candidate

• Your name, contact details, and the contents of your CV
• Your work history, qualifications, and references
• Right-to-work and identity information where relevant to a role
• Notes from our conversations about your job search and preferences

If you are a client or prospective client

• Your name, job title, and business contact details
• Your company name, address, and registration details
• Information about the roles you ask us to fill

If you use our website

• Information you submit through our contact, brief, CV upload, or Terms request forms
• Basic technical data such as your IP address and browser type, collected automatically

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data to:

• Provide our recruitment services, matching candidates to roles
• Contact you about opportunities, briefs, or enquiries
• Share relevant candidate details with prospective employers, and relevant role details with candidates
• Carry out initial identity and qualification screening
• Meet our legal and regulatory obligations
• Improve our website and services

4. Our legal basis

We rely on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

• Legitimate interests, to provide recruitment services and run our business, where this does not override your rights
• Consent, where you have given it, for example when submitting a form or your CV
• Contract, where we need your data to fulfil an agreement with you
• Legal obligation, where the law requires us to process or retain data

5. Who we share it with

We share candidate details only with prospective employers relevant to a role, and we treat those details as confidential. We may also share data with trusted service providers who help us run our business (such as email and form-handling services), who are bound to protect it. We do not sell your data to anyone.

6. How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, or as required by law. Candidate data is typically retained while we may reasonably be able to help you find work, and we review and remove data that is no longer needed. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see your rights below).

7. How we protect it

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your data secure and to prevent unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. While no system is completely secure, we take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Ask us to delete your data
• Object to or restrict how we use your data
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on it

To exercise any of these rights, email info@haydonspecter.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.

9. Cookies

Our website does not set any cookies. If we introduce analytics or other cookies in future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
