In the case of a client, you may provide your personal data to enable us to fulfil our service obligations to you. The Company must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you we will only use your personal data in accordance with the terms of the following statement.
