Candidates and consultants:
We collect, store and use information that we obtain in relation to you for our legitimate interests:
This storage and use of your personal information allows you to be contacted about roles which we think will be of interest to you, now or in the future, and we do not believe that this storage and use will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.
