3. Why We Ask For Your Personal Information

If you are a candidate, we ask you for information to consider your qualifications and interest to be referred to either a specific client, for a specific position, or to other clients who may retain us to recruit an individual with interests and qualifications similar to yours. When you provide this information, you will be asked to acknowledge your consent for us to provide it to those clients. This consent is optional, and you can decide to withdraw it at any time. Please refer to Understanding Your Options, section 6 in this Policy.

If you are a client who has retained Delta Executive Search to recruit candidates for your organization, we ask you for information so that we can do a suitable search and discuss your needs, expectations, organizational culture, and other relevant issues with potential candidates.

If you are a referee for one of our candidates, we ask you to answer specific questions to validate the information we have about our candidate and to explore his or her skills and experience relative to the role in question, to assist our clients in their selection process.

4. How We Collect Personal Information About You

If you are a candidate, much of the information we collect comes directly from you. We may also obtain personal information about you from third parties to help us assess your eligibility and suitability as a candidate for positions for which are recruiting on behalf of our clients.

You may have applied directly to us or we may have found your details from a jobs board or social networking site. We are able to process your data if we have a legal basis for doing so. There are six legal bases for processing data but we will rely on (1) your consent to send direct marketing messages about services other than our recruitment services, (2) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or (3) that we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data.

5. When We Release Your Personal Information

In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary that we disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe, in good faith, that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable to protect Delta’s interests. We will seek to ensure that any proposed disclosure is required in the circumstances and then ensure that we disclose only the information that is required.

The security of your information is important to us and we will use reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration of Your information under our control.

We will audit our procedures and security measures regularly to ensure that they are being properly administered and that they remain effective and appropriate.

We will retain your personal information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected as detailed in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. If we have not had meaningful contact with you (or, where appropriate, the company you are working for or with) we will delete your personal data from our systems unless we believe in good faith that the law or other regulation requires us to keep it for longer.

This period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us but only for so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issue that may arise at a later date. When your personal information is no longer needed or required, we have procedures to destroy, delete, erase, or convert it to an anonymous form.
