Privacy policy

Last updated: October 2026

Gridline Industrial Recruitment ("we", "us") is committed to protecting the personal information of the candidates, clients and website visitors we work with. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

Who we are

Gridline Industrial Recruitment is the data controller for the information described here. You can contact us about privacy at contact@gridlineindustrial.co.uk or on 01782 901430.

Information we collect

• Contact details you give us, such as your name, email address, phone number and company.
• For candidates: your CV, work history, qualifications, skills, preferred locations, shift patterns and salary expectations.
• For clients: details of vacancies and the people we deal with at your organisation.
• Messages you send us through this website, by email or by phone.

How we use it

• To respond to your enquiry.
• To match candidates with suitable vacancies and introduce them to employers.
• To manage our relationship with clients and the vacancies they ask us to fill.
• To meet our legal obligations, including the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003.

We rely on your consent, on steps taken at your request before entering a contract, and on our legitimate interests in providing recruitment services.

Sharing your information

We will only send a candidate's CV or details to an employer with that candidate's agreement. We never contact a candidate's current employer without permission. We use trusted service providers, such as our website host and recruitment software, to store information securely. We do not sell personal information.

How long we keep it

We keep candidate and client records for as long as they are useful for recruitment purposes and to meet legal requirements. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so unless we are required to keep it.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, or withdraw your consent at any time. Email contact@gridlineindustrial.co.uk to make a request.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
