Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Enquiries that do not lead to a placement are deleted once it is clear that no further contact is desired or required. Where statutory retention periods apply (for example tax or commercial law), data is kept for the duration of those periods and then deleted.

  • Email provider used for correspondence
  • Messaging provider, where you contact us via WhatsApp
  • Analytics provider, only if analytics is enabled and you have consented

International transfers

Some of the providers above may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this is the case, the transfer is based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission or on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses together with additional safeguards. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards from us at any time.
