How long we keep your information

The Company must maintain records of Clients for the purposes of providing and informing you of services relating to the employment of domestic staff, including courses relevant to domestic staff duties and payroll services to assist with the processing of employees payslips and HMRC compliance. Clients require domestic staff services for an average of 10 years (a client will require childcare for their children until an age where being left alone will not put them at risk, certain government departments put this age at 13. Clients may have multiple children and a child under the age of 16 may not be suitable to care for a younger sibling). Therefore it is reasonable to maintain Client records for 10 years to ensure the Company is able to swiftly and accurately assist the Client with the employee placement or payroll service they require. Clients who have requested housekeeper or carer services require these services for the period of time they have a home to maintain, or in the case of vulnerable adults, the period of time they remain in their homes, employees in the UK remain with a single employer for an average of 9 months. Therefore the Company’s clients frequently require the staff to be replaced. It is therefore reasonable to maintain Client records for 10 years from the most recent contact with the company requesting services, in line with other services provided by the Company.

 

Should the Client request their information be removed from any Company databases they must do so via email request to the Managing Director Nicholas Bowen and they will be notified that all services and correspondence will be ceased. Should they wish to register for services again they will be required to complete registration documents again, thereby providing personal data to ensure the Company is able to efficiently service their needs.

 

The Company must maintain records of Candidates for the purpose of assisting the Candidate in their job search. Candidates require assistance with their job search for an average of 10 years. Therefore it is reasonable to maintain records of employment history, date of birth, contact details, and any other information required for the purpose of successfully obtaining employment for the Candidate will be recorded securely to ensure the Company is able to swiftly and efficiently assist the Candidate in their job search for 10 years.

 

Should the Candidate request their information is deleted from Company databases they must do so via email request to the Managing Director Nicholas Bowen and they will be notified that all services and correspondence will be ceased. Should they wish to register for services again they will be required to complete registration documents again, thereby providing personal data to ensure the Company is able to efficiently service their needs.
