Personal data we receive from other sources; and
Personal data we collect automatically.

1. Personal Data Provided by You

Vine Resources needs to know certain information about you to be able to provide a tailored service. This personal information enables us to provide you with the best opportunities and should improve your job search experience with us, by hiding jobs and services that are not relevant to you.
There are a number of ways you can share your personal information with us. These include, but are not limited to:
Entering your details on the Vine Resources website as part of the registration process;
Leaving a hard copy of your CV at a Vine Resources recruitment event, job fair or office;
Emailing your CV to a Vine Resources consultant or being interviewed by them; or
Applying for jobs through a job aggregator, which then redirects you to the Vine Resources website
Connecting with our employees on social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Xing

Your referees may share personal information about you with us;
Our Clients may share personal information about you with us;
We may obtain personal information about you from searching for potential Candidates from third-party sources, such as LinkedIn and other job sites; and
If you "like" our page on Facebook or "follow" us on Twitter we will receive your personal information from those sites.
Connecting with our employees on social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Xing

3. Personal Data We Collect Automatically
When accessing our website or you read or click on an email from us we may collect your data automatically or through you providing it to us.

How We Use Personal Data

We use the personal data we hold about you to provide and personalise the services we offer, enabling them to be more relevant and useful to you. We use it in three primary ways:
Recruitment activities;
Marketing activities; and
To help us establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

1. Recruitment Activities

Our main area of work is recruitment as such, and as a Candidate, your personal data is processed for the purpose of providing you with work-finding services. This includes, but is not limited to:
Contacting you about job opportunities;
Assessing your suitability for those job opportunities;
Updating our databases;
Putting you forward for job opportunities (sending your information to Clients); and
Developing and managing our services and relationship with you.

2. Marketing Activities

We may, from time to time, send you information we think you may find interesting. We may wish to use your personal information for purposes including, but not limited to:
The development and marketing of other products and services;
Market our full range of recruitment services to you;
Send you details of reports, promotions, offers, networking and client events, and general information about the industry sectors which we think may be of interest to you; and display promotional excerpts from your details on Vine Resources website(s) as a success story (only where we have obtained your express consent to do so).

We need your consent for some aspects of these activities which are not covered by our legitimate interests and, depending on the situation, we'll ask for this via an opt-in.

If you have opted out from our marketing communications, either via the unsubscribe link in the footer of marketing emails or through your website profile, it is possible that your personal data may be recaptured from public sources in an unconnected marketing campaign. While we will endeavour to ensure this does not happen there may be instances, from time to time, where it does and would appreciate your understanding in these instances.
Our marketing is based on what we think will serve our Candidates best. We may use your data to show you Vine Resources adverts and other content on other websites. If you do not want us to use your data in this way, please turn off the "Advertising Cookies" option, details of how to do so can be found in our Cookies Policy. Even with "Advertising Cookies" turned off it is still possible that you see a Vine Resources advert, or other content, on other websites. In this case it won't have been targeted at you personally, but rather at an anonymous audience.

3. To Help Us Establish, Exercise or Defend Legal Claims
In some cases, we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.

How Long We Keep Your Data For (Retention)

We will keep your personal data for a period of seven years after our last meaningful contact with you (or our last meaningful contact with the company or entity that supplies your services if they are provided via a third-party company or entity). Different laws may require us to keep your personal data for different periods of time, where a law requires we keep your personal data for a period in excess of seven years your personal data will be kept for the period required by law.

"Meaningful contact" means, for example, written or verbal communication between you and us or where you are actively using our online services, including, but not limited to, uploading your updated CV to our website. We also consider communication from you regarding potential roles, either written or verbal, or clicking through from, or replying to, any of our marketing emails as meaningful contact.

Who We Share Your Personal Data With

Where appropriate, and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may share your personal data with the following categories of people:
Any of our group companies;

Individuals and organisations who hold information related to your reference or application to work with us, such as current, past or prospective employers, educators and examining bodies and employment and recruitment agencies;
Tax, audit, or other authorities, we believe in good faith that the low or other regulation requires us to share this data (for example, because of a request by a tax authority or in connection with any anticipated litigation);
Third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf (including external consultants, business associates and professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and accountants, technical support functions and IT consultants carrying out testing and development work on our business technology systems);

Third-party outsourced IT and document storage providers where we have an appropriate pressing agreement (or similar protections) in place;
Marketing technology platforms and suppliers;

Potential employers and other recruitment agencies/organisations to increase your chances of finding employment;
Third-party partners, job boards and job aggregators where we consider this will improve the chances of finding you the right job;
MSP suppliers as part of our clients' MSP programmes;

Third parties we have retained to provide services such as reference, qualification and criminal conviction checks, to the extent that these checks are appropriate and in accordance with local laws.  It may be disclosed to a partner network member that is located outside of the EEA and who may not be subject to equivalent data protection.

If Vine Resources merges with or is acquired by another business or company in the future (or is in meaningful discussions about such a possibility) we may share your personal data with the (prospective) new owners of the business or company.
Lawful Basis for Processing

Data protection requires that we process all personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
Article 6(1)(f) states that Vine Resources can process your data where "processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third-party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child."
In plainer language, this is where Vine Resources has a legitimate reason to process your data provided it is reasonable and does not go against what you would reasonably expect from us.

As a candidate, we believe it is reasonable to expect us to collect and user your personal information to provide recruitment services to you, to share your personal information with prospective employers and compare your skills against our current vacancies where you have either provided us with your information directly, posted your CV information on a job board or on professional networking sites. Once it looks like you may be offered a position with a prospective employer they may want to check any information you have provided or to confirm your qualifications, experience or references. The providing of this information to prospective employers is required to help you, and other Candidates, get the jobs you deserve and allows us to function as a profit-making recruitment business.

We think it's reasonable to process your personal data to provide a tailored recruitment service, offering you, the Candidate, a more pleasant job search experience and ensuring you receive the most appropriate content for your job search.
In some cases, we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.
While we don't believe any of the above activities prejudice you in any way – they enable us to provide the service you have engaged us for – you have the right to object to us processing your data on this basis.

We are processing your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
If your objection relates to direct marketing, we must act on your objection by ceasing this activity.
8. Rights in Relation to Automated Decision Making and Profiling
Individuals have additional rights with the fully automated decision making, including profiling with legal or similarly significant effects restricted. This restriction only applies to fully automated individual decision making where there is no human involvement.

  • It is authorised by Union or Member state law applicable to the controller; or
  • Based on the individual's explicit consent.
9. The Right to Withdraw Consent

Individuals have the right to withdraw previously given consent at any time, for example where consent has been given for direct marketing.
When consent is withdrawn we will cease to carry out the activity for which consent has been withdrawn unless we consider that there is an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose. Where we consider this to be the case we will inform you of this condition and the alternative reasons.
Details of how to get in touch about these rights can be found here. We endeavour to deal with any requests without undue delay, and in any event within one month (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). We may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.
Where our lawful basis for processing your personal data is the consent you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
If you withdraw consent, where consent is the legal basis for processing, we will cease to process your personal data for the activity in which consent has been withdrawn unless we still need to process your data for legal or official reasons. If this is the case, we will inform you and will restrict the data to only what is necessary for the purpose of meeting those specific reasons.
If you believe that any of your data that we process is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us using the details below and we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and correct it where necessary.

Subject Access Requests

Individuals can raise a Subject Access Request (SAR) to exercise one or more of their rights, listed in the Your Rights section of this Privacy Notice. As part of any request, you will be required to provide proof of your identity before the request is processed. Your request will be processed within one month of receipt of both your request and proof of identity, except in circumstances where requests are complex or numerous.
If a request is considered complex or numerous we may extend the period of compliance by a further two months, notification of this will be provided within one month of receipt of the request along with details of why the extension is necessary.
Subject Access Requests will be processed free of charge except where the request is deemed "manifestly unfounded or excessive". Where this is the case a "reasonable fee" may be charged. A "reasonable fee" may also be charged to comply with requests for additional copies of the same information, this fee will the administrative costs involved in providing the information.

Where we consider a request to be "manifestly unfounded or excessive" we may refuse to respond to the request. If we refuse to respond we will provide details of why this decision has been made along with details of your right to complain to the supervisory authority and to a judicial remedy.  You can send us an email at info@vineresources.com with the subject "Subject Access Request".
