Privacy Notice
How we collect, use and protect your personal data — and the rights you have over it.
1. Who we are
Senatek Recruitment Limited ("Senatek", "we", "us") is a specialist recruitment consultancy and is the data controller for the personal data described in this notice.
- Company number: 16446557, registered in England & Wales
- Registered office: 16 Winchester Close, Worksop, England, S81 0PW
- Contact: Jordan@senatekrecruitment.com · +44 7568 572 675
2. What we collect
When you use our contact form we collect your name and email address, and — where you provide them — your phone number, company name or current role, the sector you're interested in, and the content of your message.
If you're a candidate and send us a CV or discuss a role with us, we may also hold your employment history, qualifications, certifications, salary expectations, notice period, location preferences and right-to-work information.
If you're a client we hold business contact details for the people we work with, along with role briefs and hiring requirements.
We do not use tracking or advertising cookies on this website, and we do not run analytics that profile you. Our web host records standard server logs, including IP address, for security and reliability. This site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your IP address is shared with Google in order to serve them.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and we do not seek special category data. Please don't include it in your message unless a role genuinely requires it.
3. Why we use it, and our lawful basis
| What we do | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Respond to your enquiry | Legitimate interests — you asked us to get in touch |
| Assess your suitability for roles and represent you to clients | Legitimate interests, plus your consent before we share your details with any named client |
| Provide candidate shortlists and recruitment services to clients | Legitimate interests / performance of a contract |
| Confirm right to work and meet our legal duties | Legal obligation |
| Keep records of placements, invoices and agreements | Legal obligation / legitimate interests |
We will never send your CV or details to a client without telling you who they are and getting your agreement first.
4. Who we share it with
We share personal data only where we need to:
- Client employers — candidate details, with your consent, on a named basis
- Service providers who help us run the business: our email provider (Microsoft), our website host (Cloudflare) and the service that delivers contact-form messages to us (Resend). These act on our instructions under contract
- Professional advisers and authorities where the law requires it
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for third-party marketing.
5. Where your data is held
Our providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens we rely on UK adequacy regulations, or on standard contractual clauses together with appropriate safeguards, so your data keeps an equivalent level of protection.
6. How long we keep it
- General enquiries: up to 12 months from our last contact
- Candidate records: up to 24 months from our last meaningful contact, then deleted or anonymised — unless you ask us to keep them longer so we can consider you for future roles
- Placement, contractual and financial records: up to 7 years, to meet tax and legal requirements
You can ask us to delete your details sooner at any time — see section 7.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you, and get a copy
- Have inaccurate data corrected
- Ask us to delete your data
- Ask us to restrict how we use it
- Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests
- Ask for your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we relied on consent
To exercise any of these, email Jordan@senatekrecruitment.com. We'll respond within one month, and there's no charge.
8. Complaints
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office:

- Helpline: 0303 123 1113
9. Changes to this notice
If we change how we handle personal data we'll update this page and revise the date above.
