Personal Data is information that can be used directly or indirectly to identify a living individual.  Personal Data may include special category information (sensitive data), such as information that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, health or sexual orientation (Sensitive Personal Data).

iPSL is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and is registered with the Information Commissioner in the U.K. We understand that when our clients, suppliers and other individuals provide personal data to iPSL, they place their trust in us. We take this trust seriously and are committed to respecting each individual’s privacy and protecting the personal data we handle. If we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

We have developed this statement to provide you with the information you need to make smart privacy choices, including:

  • How We Use Your Personal Data
  • How We Protect Your Personal Data
  • With Whom We Share Your Personal Data
  • Links to Other Websites
  • How To Request Access To Your Personal Data
  • How To Contact Us

Please note that this Privacy Statement does not cover the handling of our employees’ personal data. We cover the collection and processing of employees’ personal data through internal policies, processes and notices.

Through our websites or other communication, you may be asked to voluntarily provide personal data (for example, but not limited to: name, job title, physical and e-mail addresses, company name, telephone number, demographic information such as post code, preferences and interests etc.) in order to request our services or use certain features.

You may choose to register via this website or provide information to one of our recruiters in order to receive information about new job postings, make enquiries about new job postings or apply for a position with iPSL. When you do, we will collect the following types of personal data:

  • name
  • contact information (physical address, email address, telephone number)
  • other identifying data required by applicable laws

You may also provide us with additional information about yourself including, for example, education, work history and references. As part of the application process, you will also be asked to submit a prepared CV or other information providing proof of your skills or qualifications.

Our aim is to ensure that all staff and job applicants are given equal opportunity and that our organisation is representative of all sections of society.  iPSL is committed to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst the whole workforce and to providing equal opportunities for all, irrespective of race, colour, creed, ethnic or national origins, gender, marital status, sexuality, disability or age.  So that we can monitor the implementation of our policy, we may also request additional anonymised data from you from time to time to assist us in pursuing our commitment to equal opportunities.

If you provide us with personal contact information about another person, for example for providing a reference or job referral, it is your responsibility to ensure that the person is aware and consents to you providing their information. We may also receive Personal Data from other third parties, for example if you have been hired through a third party staffing or recruiting firm. Where permitted or otherwise authorised by law, information received from third parties may include the results of background checks.

The personal data we request and that you voluntarily choose to provide will depend on the purpose for which you are providing it. In certain circumstances, not providing the requested personal data may limit your access to our website or its content or it may limit our ability to provide information to you.

In addition to the data you provide to us directly, we may also process personal data about you that we receive from our clients, such as if you are an employee, authorised user or customer of one of our clients.

We will not process Personal Data in a manner incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected, unless later authorised by the affected individuals or allowed by law. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that such data is accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to such purposes; and we will not keep this data longer than is necessary.

It is not our intent to collect personal data from children under the age of 13. Our website is not designed to attract children and we request that children under the age of 13 not submit personal data to us through our websites.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure.

We limit access to and use of your personal data to authorised persons. When your personal data is no longer needed, we will securely destroy your personal data.

We will utilise reasonable means to keep personal data accurate, complete and current in order to protect the quality and integrity of personal data, however, we rely on individuals to provide all relevant information and to advise us of any changes to their personal data to ensure that it remains accurate, complete and current.

Data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily.

We share your personal data with authorised iPSL personnel and third parties who are acting on our behalf in order to provide the products or services you request or to support our relationship with you. These third parties are not authorised by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf pursuant to a contractual obligation or to comply with legal requirements. iPSL requires such third parties to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws and agree to implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures to safeguard the personal data.

Personal data that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which our parent company operates in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy. Authorised iPSL third parties acting on our behalf may also access, use and process personal data collected from you in a country that is different from the country where you entered the personal data.

Information which you provide may be transferred to other countries, including the United States.  By providing your personal data you expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.

If you reside outside of the UK, by providing your personal data, you consent to the sharing of your personal data as described above and any resulting cross-border transfers.
