Please read the following carefully to understand our use of Data. Please note that the Policy relates only to living individuals in relation to Data relating directly to themselves, and not to persons in any other capacity.

Information we may collect from you

We collect Data from you which you volunteer when you provide such Data to us, or via our services with which you interact. We may also be given other Data relating to you by other persons, or we may obtain such other Data about you as may be provided to us in the course of our legitimate business activities.

We may also process other data, which is not your personal data.

When you access our website, your device’s browser provides us with information such as your IP address, browser type, access time and referring URL which is collected and used to compile statistical data. This information may be used to help us to improve our website and the services we offer, and to offer services to you.

Security and where we store your Data

We are committed to protecting the security of your Data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Data from unauthorised access and use. As effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the complete security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available. 

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and may involve the transfer of data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). This occurs typically through use of cloud solutions for web hosting, email hosting or proprietary software solutions delivered to us through the Cloud. We do not however authorise any third party to use your Data for their own purposes. Non-EEA countries may not provide an adequate level of protection in relation to processing your Data. By submitting your data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing.

Although we will do our best to protect your Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Data transmitted to us. Any transmission of data is at your own risk. Once we receive your Data, we use appropriate security measures to seek to prevent unauthorised access.

For example, it is mandatory to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in Ireland before employment starts. 

Claran Consultants have a legitimate interest in processing Data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process.

We may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims. Claran Consultants may process special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, religion or belief, in certain circumstances where processing of such criteria is a lawful requirement for employment. We may also collect health to resources we make reasonable adjustments for candidates who require it, either during the recruitment process, or as part of the job specification. We process such information to carry out our obligations and exercise specific rights in the field of employment and social security and social protection law. 

If your application is unsuccessful Claran Consultants may keep your Data on file in case there are future employment opportunities for which you may be suited. We will ask for your consent before we keep your Data for this purpose and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time
