Privacy Policy

This website is brought to you by Alium Partners Limited. We take the privacy of our website users very seriously. We ask that you read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information about how we will use your personal data.

For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, Alium Partners Limited ('we' or 'us') is the 'data controller' (i.e the company who is responsible for, and controls the processing of, your personal data).

Personal data we may collect about you

We will obtain personal data about you (such as your name, address and career details) when you send us (whether electronically or otherwise) any information about you.

We may also obtain sensitive personal data about you if you provide it at any time. If you provide such information, you will be consenting to our processing it for the purpose of identifying any interim management posts which may be suitable to you and us making any subsequent application, or to our sending you relevant interim management and business communications through our various marketing channels. 

We may monitor your usage of this website. This information helps us build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means we will not be able to identify you individually - please see 'Use of Cookies' section below.

How we may use your personal data

We will use your personal data for the following purposes:

• Internal use for identifying skills and profile of candidates 
• Sending to prospective clients for any interim opportunities which may be appropriate from time to time
• Providing you with relevant interim management and business communications through our various marketing channels 

We will always ask your permission (on each separate occasion) prior to sending your CV to prospective clients.

Keeping your data secure

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example:

• Our internal systems are secured from the Internet by the use of a CheckPoint perimeter firewall. This system is locked down to a high degree
• Additionally, our internal systems are all password protected, using complex passwords
• Desktop security is provided to us through the use of Trend OfficeScan software
• We also utilise MessageLabs security, meaning that all emails must first pass through MessageLabs anti-spam filters before entering the Alium network
• We protect internal data by regular nightly backups, and each server is imaged on a weekly basis.

Whilst we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data which is transferred from you or to you via the internet.
