PSB Services (Southern) LTD is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This notice outlines the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) harmonises data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate.

​

Despite the UK leaving the EU, the GDPR has been applicable in the UK since 25th May 2018. The Government has decided the GDPR must continue in UK law post-Brexit and has introduced a Data Protection Bill to replace the current Data Protection Act.

​

Your new rights under the GDPR are set out in this notice. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

​

We are a recruitment business as defined in the Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, collecting personal data of prospective and placed candidates for permanent or temporary roles, prospective and live client contacts, supplier contacts to support our services, and employees and consultants to carry out our core business and ancillary activities.

It is our legal duty to retain accurate data and only keep personal data for as long as necessary for our legitimate business interests. We routinely review data to remove any that we no longer have a legitimate interest in maintaining.
