How we handle candidate and applicant data · Last updated 29 July 2026

Who we are

Bastion Talent is a specialist recruitment and executive-search firm and is the data controller for the information you share with us. Questions about your data? Email contact@bastion-talent.com.

What we collect

  • Your name and contact details.
  • Your CV/résumé and its contents (experience, skills, education).
  • The role you are interested in and any message you send us.
  • Basic, anonymous website analytics where enabled.

Why we use it

To assess your suitability for roles, to contact you about opportunities, and — where you progress — to share your details with the relevant retaining client under confidentiality. Our legal bases are your consent, our legitimate interest in matching candidates to roles, and taking steps at your request prior to a possible contract.

Who we share it with

We share your details with the client for a role you apply to, under confidentiality, and only as needed to progress your application. We also rely on service providers (website hosting and email) who process data on our behalf. We never sell your data.

How long we keep it

We retain applicant data for up to 24 months so we can consider you for future roles, then delete it — or sooner if you ask us to.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete or port your data, or object to our use of it, at any time. Email contact@bastion-talent.com and we will respond. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time; the date above reflects the latest version.
