Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Vester Group (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal data when you visit https://vestergroup.co.uk/ (the “Site”), interact with us, or use our services.

By using the Site or providing us with your personal data, you agree to the processing described in this policy.

2. Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following personal data:

  • Identity data: name, title, date of birth

  • Contact data: email address, telephone number, postal address

  • Employment / professional data: CV, work history, qualifications, references

  • Usage data: information about how you use the Site (pages viewed, time, IP, device, browser)

  • Marketing & communications data: your preferences in receiving communications from us

  • Technical data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, cookies and similar technologies

We may also collect aggregated or anonymised data which does not identify you individually.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for purposes including (but not limited to):

  • Providing and managing our recruitment, HR, consulting, or staffing services

  • Processing job applications and screening candidates

  • Communicating with you about services, updates, events

  • Marketing, where you have consented, such as sending newsletters or promotional offers

  • Website operation, performance, analytics, and improvement

  • Complying with legal obligations (e.g. employment law, taxes, record-keeping)

  • Fraud prevention, safeguarding, and security

We may also use data internally for reporting and business development.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Your consent (where requested)

  • Performance of a contract (or to take steps before entering into a contract)

  • Compliance with a legal obligation

  • Legitimate interests (provided those interests are not overridden by your rights)

For example, processing your job application is necessary to consider you for a role (contract performance), while sending you marketing emails requires your consent (unless an exemption applies).

5. Disclosure of Your Data

We may share your personal data with:

  • Our group companies, affiliates, subsidiaries

  • Clients, prospective employers, recruitment partners

  • Trusted service providers (IT, analytics, email, cloud, CRM, marketing)

  • Legal, regulatory, or public authorities when required

  • Professional advisors (lawyers, auditors)

  • In connection with corporate transactions (mergers, acquisitions, restructuring)

We require third parties to protect your data and use it only for permitted purposes.

6. International Transfers

Some of our service providers or partners may be outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Where we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protections, such as use of standard contractual clauses or other lawful safeguards under UK law.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it, or as required by law. For job applications, we may retain data for a period (e.g. 1–7 years) for future recruitment or legal defense.

After that, we securely delete, anonymise, or destroy the data.

8. Your Rights

Under data protection law you have rights, including:

  • Request access to your personal data

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Request erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances

  • Request restriction of processing

  • Object to processing (e.g. direct marketing)

  • Request data portability

  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)

  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office, ICO)

To exercise your rights, contact us (see “Contact Information” below). We may need to verify your identity before acting.

9. Security

We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (e.g. partners, affiliates). This policy does not apply to those sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please check the privacy policies of those sites.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyse usage, and for marketing (detailed in our Cookie Policy). By using our Site, you consent to cookies as described therein.
