The following sections will answer most of the important questions that you may have about how we fulfill each of these important principles, and how we will hold ourselves accessible and accountable to you.

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.

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.

Where information is to be so transferred, it may be to a country in respect of which there is an adequacy decision from the EU Commission.
