Privacy Policy

Your Data, Your Rights

At Hamilton Hunter Scotland Limited, we understand that your personal data is important. Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on May 25, 2018, we’ve committed ourselves to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled with care.

How We Collect Your Information

Our website is designed as ‘View Only,’ meaning none of your communication or data is stored here. However, when you apply for a job through our site or reach out to us directly, you’re giving us permission to contact you using the details you provide.

We keep a record of our interactions, which you can access at no cost—unless your request is excessive or repetitive, in which case a reasonable fee may apply.

  • Email Address
  • Date of Birth
  • Photograph
  • Education and Qualifications

How We Use Your Information

We only share your information when it’s necessary to help you secure employment. This may include sharing your details with potential employers and using your information to:

  • Enhance customer service

  • Personalise your experience
  • Conduct promotions or surveys
  • Share updates on topics of interest

Rest assured, any information shared is recorded and stored securely. We do not sell or trade your personal information but may need to share it with third-party service providers, such as our recruitment platform, or to comply with legal obligations.

Your Consent Matters

At Hamilton Hunter, we value the sensitive nature of your information. Before sharing any details, we’ll reach out to discuss our intentions, typically focusing on your CV and related information.

If you wish to withdraw your consent for us to collect and share your information or would like to exercise your right to be forgotten, simply contact us, and we will promptly action your request.

Protecting Your Information

We implement robust data collection, storage, and processing practices to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

In the Event of a Data Breach

Should a data breach occur, we will follow the guidance provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to ensure your information is protected.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make changes, we’ll notify you via email and post an announcement on our website. We encourage you to check this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
