Obtaining Consent

Before we collect, use or disclose your personal data, we will notify you of the purpose and the reason we are doing so. We shall next obtain written confirmation from you on your expressed consent. As far as possible, we will not collect more personal data than necessary for the stated purposes within this notice.

Under certain circumstances, we may assume deemed consent from you when you voluntarily provide your personal data for the stated purpose, e.g. when you apply for a job in our organization

Third-Party Consent

If you do a transaction with us on behalf of another individual, you must first obtain consent or show that you are authorised to act on behalf of that individual in order for us to collect, use or disclose his/her personal data. Where consent can be obtained, that individual must be notified of the purposes for the collection, use or disclosure of his/her personal data.

Withdrawal of Consent

If you wish to withdraw consent, you should give us reasonable advance notice. You have to be aware, though, of the likely consequences of your withdrawal of consent, e.g. without your personal contact information, we may not be able to inform you of future services offered by us or our clients

Your request for withdrawal of consent can take the form of an email or letter to us, or through the “UNSUB” feature on an online service.
