Privacy notice
This notice explains how Blockstar Search ("we", "us") collects and uses personal data when you contact us through this website or send us your CV, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are the data controller for this information.
What we collect
- Contact form and emails: your name, company, email address and the content of your message.
- Candidate information: if you send us a CV or discuss opportunities with us, details such as your work history, skills, qualifications, location, salary expectations and right-to-work information you choose to share.
- Technical data: our hosting provider may process limited technical information (such as IP address) to deliver the site securely and prevent spam.
How and why we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and manage our relationship with you (legitimate interests, or steps prior to entering a contract).
- To provide recruitment services: assessing your suitability for roles and, only with your agreement, introducing you to prospective employers (legitimate interests and, where relevant, your consent).
- To meet legal and regulatory obligations (legal obligation).
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making.
Who we share it with
We share candidate details with a prospective employer only after discussing the specific role with you. We also use trusted service providers (for example, website hosting, form handling and email services) who process data on our behalf under appropriate contracts. Some providers may be located outside the UK; where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry data for as long as needed to respond and manage our relationship with you. We keep candidate data for as long as it remains relevant to finding you suitable roles, and we review it regularly. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability and, where we rely on consent, to withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@blockstarsearch.com.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
