Privacy Policy
(January 2026)
Who we are
CheckMate Recruitment (“we”, “us”, “our”) is responsible for the personal data collected through this website and our recruitment activities. Our website address is: https://checkmaterecruitment.co.uk.
What information do we collect?
We collect the majority of personal data directly from you. We may also collect certain information from third parties, such as previous employers, referees, recruitment partners, or other professional contacts. In some cases, we may collect information about you from publicly available sources, such as LinkedIn or similar professional networking platforms.
Where we collect personal data from you relating to other individuals, such as next of kin or emergency contacts, it is your responsibility to ensure those individuals are aware that their details are being disclosed to us and processed by us.
We may collect personal data and, where relevant, sensitive personal information as part of the recruitment process. Where required, we will seek your explicit consent before collecting or processing sensitive personal information. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
What do we use your information for?
We will use the data you have supplied for the administration of the recruitment process, and for no other purpose, including to:
– Maintain our business relationship where you are a service user as a client or candidate.
– Contact you via email, SMS, telephone, or other means about vacancies that we believe you may be interested in.
– Assess your details against vacancies that we believe may be suitable for you.
– Fulfil contractual obligations with our clients.
– Manage recruitment administration and related communications.
If you provide us with personal information about others, or if others provide us with your personal information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.
How do we share and disclose your personal information?
CheckMate Recruitment may send your information to relevant clients for potential assignments or jobs, where appropriate, so they can decide whether or not to pursue discussions with you. We will obtain verbal consent before presenting your details to a client. If you want to withdraw your application, you should contact us.
We may also use your information to enable clients to consider whether you are suitable for another position, other than the position for which you originally applied, and to contact you regarding that other position.
We do not send personal or sensitive personal information to clients or third parties located outside the European Economic Area unless appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights. If and when we are required to transfer your personal information outside the EEA, we will take reasonable steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
We will not sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your consent or are required to do so by law.
However, we may disclose your personal information:
– As required by law, such as to comply with a request for information.
– Where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
– With your permission, to any other third party.
How long do we keep your information?
We will keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law, after which it will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Where you are a candidate or applicant, we may retain your information for future recruitment opportunities unless you ask us not to. If we no longer need your data, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it securely.
Your rights over your data
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask for corrections, request deletion in certain circumstances, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Where your data is sent
Visitor information may be processed by website security tools, spam detection services, hosting providers, email providers, and other third-party systems that help us operate the website and recruitment process.
