The data controller responsible for this website and collection of your personal data is Andrew Buxton, Project Delivery Consulting Services Limited, who can be contacted via letter at our registered office at 1 Fisher Lane, Bingham, Nottingham, NG13 8QB or email at andrew.buxton@pd-cs.co.uk. We protect your personal data in line with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This website contains links to third-party websites, which have their own data controllers and privacy policies. Also your personal data, such as your first and last name, telephone number and email address may be collected by us when you contact us using our website online form.

Lawful basis for processing data – recruitment purposes

For each method by which we collect personal data, this privacy policy documents our lawful basis for processing the data. The collection of personal data is done for legitimate interests and solely for the purpose of recruitment purposes, whereby we will use your data such as, name, address, phone number, email, employment history and qualifications to contact you with details of suitable roles and to submit your data to agreed clients (we never send your details to clients without your consent).

We never collect bank details unless this is in relation to a Personal Services Company whereby you become employed via a third party as a Consultant by PDCS.

We have set a period of seven years after collection of your data, after which time, we will contact you to give the opportunity to be retained or removed from our CRM database and spreadsheets.
