We will collect and process the following data about you:

– Information you give us

This is information about you that you give us by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail, job application/cv, and submitting information on our website or otherwise.

Data can be categorised into three areas:

1. Candidate Data

In order to provide the best possible employment opportunities that are tailored to you, we need to process certain information about you. We only ask for details that will genuinely help us to help you. Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may also collect information related to your health, diversity information or details of any criminal conviction.

2. Client Data

If you are a Hutchinson Engineering customer, we need to collect and use information about you, or individuals at your organisation, in the course of providing you services. The data we collect about Clients is actually very limited. We generally only need to have your contact details or the details of individual contacts at your organisation (such as their names, telephone numbers and email addresses) to enable us to ensure that our relationship runs smoothly. We may also hold extra information that someone in your organisation has chosen to tell us. If we need any additional personal data for any reason, we will let you know.

3. Supplier Data
