- Managing our database and keeping work-seeker records up to date;
- Contacting you to seek your consent where we need it;

3. Data retention
In most circumstances, your data will not be retained for more than six years from the last point we provided any services or otherwise engaged with you.

However, we may retain data for longer than a six-year period where we have a legal or contractual obligation to do so, or we form the view that there is otherwise a continued basis to do so, for example, where your personal information identifies specialist skill sets which may remain in demand, or we are subject to a legal obligation which applies for a longer period.
