Lawful bases for processing

We rely on one or more of the following:

• Consent – for marketing and, where required, for sharing candidate information with clients and processing certain categories of data. For administering psychometric assessments, for processing special category data where collected, and for adding your anonymised results to our central analytics database. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting gdpr@nscg.com, although this may affect our ability to complete the assessment.
• Legitimate interests – operating our business, improving services, recruiting candidates, and managing client and supplier relationships. Providing assessment and consultancy services to our clients, ensuring service quality, improving our tools and processes, and maintaining appropriate records. Our interests are balanced against your rights and expectations as a candidate, and we minimise the use of identifiable data where possible.
• Contract – delivering services to clients, candidates, assessments and suppliers.
• Legal obligations – complying with tax, employment and regulatory requirements.

Special category and criminal convictions data

We only process this data where:

• You have provided explicit consent, or
• It is permitted by law under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Where possible, it is anonymised. Where practicable, such information is collated and anonymised for reporting purposes. We do not include special category data in client reports unless it is relevant, proportionate and permitted by law, or you have expressly consented.

Automated decision making and profiling

Psychometric assessments involve profiling to generate insights about your workplace preferences, behavioural styles or cognitive abilities. We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you solely by automated means. A qualified assessor or the client’s decision maker will review assessment outputs. If you have concerns, you can request human review or express your point of view at gdpr@nscg.com.

We may share personal data with:

• Executive Search/Interim Clients, but only with candidate consent

• Regulators or authorities where legally required.
