Privacy and data protection policy

Updated: 21 July 2023

Untapped are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy has been written in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018, which complements the General Data Protection Regulation. If you have any questions regarding our management of your personal data, or wish to lodge a complaint about how we use your information, please contact us at email: contact@waypointme.com

How do we collect information?

  • When you interact with us. We collect personal information from you when you register with our website or otherwise provide us with personal information, whether online or on the phone. 

  • When you interact with third parties. We may also receive information about you from third parties, for example when you respond to a job opportunity advertised by one of our customers. Where we obtain your details from a third party, we will process the data to the same standards set out in this policy.

  • When you visit our website. We make use of cookies but you can select how these are used.

What information do we collect?

The types of information collected will typically include: your name, e-mail address, postal town, postcode and telephone number. We will also collect, and securely hold, data you supply us related to job opportunity applications to allow us to assess your job application. We do not request or keep on record data related to social media usage or accounts.

Sensitive personal information. Some data – around your health or ethnicity, for example - is classified as sensitive and therefore needs to be handled more securely. We have proper processes in place for making sure that such data is handled with the utmost care and only in relation to the purpose it is submitted.

We may collect personal sensitive information when asking demographical questions as part of a job application. These responses will be used for the purpose of assessing your suitability for the job application or where requested by informing you of new job opportunities in your area. We will not retain the data for longer than needed and will ensure it is securely deleted after use.

As standard, we ask people to answer a range of questions related to autism on our data capture forms. Some answers – in which an individual identifies as autistic, for example - may be deemed as containing sensitive personal information, and we treat all such responses accordingly. This data is kept securely and used only to help Untapped assess how we may support you into employment should you be selected.

How do we use this information?

We will use your personal information to assess your job application suitability, advise you of new job opportunities in your area and to provide you with the appropriate support you may need. We will not use your personal data for any purpose other than the ones which we have stated to you. We will always use an appropriate legal basis for processing your data and are committed to handling your information according to the principle of lawfulness, fairness and transparency.

We hold your data on a secure database and in usable format only for as long as you require in the pursuit of employment through Untapped. In the event of you gaining employment through Untapped or upon your request we will securely delete the data we hold about you.

Legal basis

We only use your personal information for direct contact about new job roles in your area if we have your consent (for electronic communications) or where we already have an existing relationship with you (for postal or telephone communications).
