Privacy statement

Hennessey Advisory Group Ltd is responsible for deciding how personal information is used in connection with Hennessey Search. Privacy enquiries may be sent to hello@hennesseygroup.co.uk.

Depending on your relationship with us, this may include contact details, career history, qualifications, remuneration expectations, location preferences, interview and assessment information, references, client briefing information and correspondence.

Please avoid sending special-category or highly sensitive information unless it is relevant and has been requested through an appropriate secure process.

We use information to respond to enquiries, assess suitability for appointments, manage search mandates, communicate relevant opportunities, provide leadership advisory services, maintain business records and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Our lawful basis will depend on the activity and may include taking steps at your request, contractual necessity, legitimate interests, consent or legal obligation.

Candidate information is not presented to a client without an appropriate discussion. We may also use trusted service providers, professional advisers and search-network specialists who are required to protect information. Disclosure may be made where law or a competent authority requires it.

Some mandates involve organisations or advisers outside the UK. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take proportionate steps to ensure an appropriate legal transfer mechanism and level of protection.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, any continuing professional relationship, and applicable legal or record-keeping requirements. We apply proportionate organisational and technical safeguards and periodically review the information we hold.

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the use of your information, or request portability. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis.

You can contact us first so we can address your concern. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
