​Welcome to V Star Experts Ltd, a professional business specializing in providing work-finding services to clients and work-seekers. As a data controller-the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data, we handle personal data, including sensitive information, to deliver our services. We prioritize transparency, privacy, and data protection, and we are committed to fulfilling our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect and use your personal information during the business specializing process. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the following information.

 

 

►Collection and Use of Personal Data

 

 

• We collect and process your personal data, including sensitive information, for the purpose of providing work-finding services. This includes tasks such as contacting you regarding job opportunities, assessing your suitability for positions, updating our databases, submitting your profile for job opportunities, facilitating payments, keeping you informed about company services and industry news (with your consent), and enhancing our customer service to benefit you as our client.

 

• In certain cases, we may be legally obligated to use your data to investigate and report crimes, as well as comply with relevant laws. We may also use your information for internal audits to ensure compliance with industry standards.

 

• We only use your personal information when permitted by law, based on the legal bases for processing. These include your consent, the need to take pre-contractual steps at your request or fulfill a contractual obligation, compliance with legal obligations, and pursuing legitimate interests as long as your rights and freedoms do not override those interests.

 

►Statutory Contractual Requirement

 

• Certain legal and contractual obligations require us to collect personal data. For example, we must comply with employment regulations, immigration and tax legislation, and security requirements. Additionally, our clients may request this information, and we may need it to enter into a contract with you. Failure to provide the necessary personal data may result in our inability to continue providing work-finding services.

 

►Legitimate Interest

 

• We may process your personal data based on our legitimate interest. This includes managing our database, keeping work-seeker records up to date, providing work-finding services, seeking your consent when necessary, and informing you about relevant services you have recently used. Our legitimate interest is driven by our commitment to offering work opportunities and efficiently managing the recruitment process.

 

►Establishing, Exercising, or Defending Legal Claims

 

• In exceptional circumstances, we may use your personal data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

 

►Recipients of Data

 

• Your personal data, including sensitive personal data, may be processed and shared with the following recipients:

 

• Clients (for job introductions or placements)

 

• Former employers/agencies (for reference checks)

 

• Payment intermediaries (for facilitating payments)

 

• Other recruitment agencies in the supply chain

 

• External organizations (for pre-employment reference and background checks, criminal record checks, and trade association benefits if eligible)

 

►Types of Personal Information Collected

 

• We collect personal information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual. This includes contact details (name, address, phone number, email), date of birth, gender, information from CVs, application forms, cover letters, and interview notes, references, proof of right to work documentation, qualification certificates, driving license copies, background check documentation, skills and qualifications, work history, bank account details, national insurance number, information about next of kin and emergency contacts, and professional memberships.

 

• Additionally, we may collect special categories of personal information, such as disability information to fulfill our obligations towards disabled work-seekers, and information related to racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, and sexual orientation for equal opportunities monitoring. We only collect this information with your explicit written consent or in anonymized form, and it is entirely optional to provide such personal information.

 

►Source of Personal Data

 

• We collect personal information directly from you during the recruitment process. This includes information provided by you on application forms, through email, social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook), telephone calls, or our website. We may also collect information from external sources, such as job boards, CV databases, LinkedIn, and employment agencies. Additionally, we may receive personal information from third parties, such as references from current or former employers, referees nominated by you, background check providers, and criminal record checks from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

 

• While you are not obligated to provide personal information, failure to do so may impact the processing of your job application, entering into a contract, or our ability to comply with legal obligations.

 

►Data Retention

 

• We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Different laws may require the retention of specific data for specific periods. For example,

work-seeker records must be kept for at least one year, and payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay, and pension auto-enrollment records must be retained as per legal requirements. If you have consented to us keeping your personal information for future opportunities, we will retain it for up to five years or until you withdraw your consent.

 

• When personal information is no longer required, we securely destroy or erase it from our systems.

• We also require third parties to destroy or erase personal information when applicable.
