Privacy Policy

This notice explains what personal information UNIT8D collects, why we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and what your rights are. It covers this website and our recruitment, workforce and client work.

Who We Are

The data controller is Universal Networking Insights Training & Development Limited (Company No. 16716506), trading as UNIT8D. Registered address: Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds, IP28 7DE.

For anything to do with your personal information, email info@unit8d.com or call 020 3757 2488. Data protection is the responsibility of Mika Brown, Director.

What We Collect

Where it comes from	What we collect
Contact form	Name, email, company, phone, enquiry type and your message
Talent pool registration	Name, email, phone, location, LinkedIn profile, role, sector experience, qualifications, availability, your CV and any message you add
iN-sites subscription	First name, email, organisation, whether you are an employee or employer, and your mobile number and preferred channel (email or WhatsApp) if you give them
Working with us	Identity and right-to-work documents, certifications and cards, competence and assessment records, timesheets and payment details
Clients and suppliers	Business contact details, contract, purchase-order and invoice records

We do not ask for health information on our forms. If you tell us about a disability or a need for adjustments, we use it only to make those adjustments. Some roles need extra checks, such as a criminal record check for certain sites. We only carry these out where the role requires it and the law allows, and we tell you first.

Why We Use It and Our Legal Basis

Purpose	Legal basis
Replying to your enquiry	Legitimate interests
Keeping you in our talent pool and matching you to suitable roles	Legitimate interests (you can ask to be removed at any time)
Putting you forward for work and managing your placement	Steps before a contract, then the contract itself
Right-to-work checks, tax and payroll records	Legal obligation
Making adjustments for a disability	Our obligations under employment and equality law
Sending you iN-sites by email or WhatsApp	Consent (you can unsubscribe at any time)
Managing client and supplier contracts	Contract and legitimate interests
Producing anonymised career-progression statistics	Legitimate interests

Where you send us a CV, we may use the job titles, dates, cards and qualifications in it to work out typical career progression in construction, for example how long people usually spend in a role before stepping up. We only keep the combined figures. They never include your name, contact details, employer or anything else that could identify you. We only publish a figure when at least 10 career histories support it. You can ask us not to use your CV in this way at any time by emailing info@unit8d.com, and it will not affect how we consider you for work.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling to decide who is offered work.

Who We Share It With

We never sell your information. We share it only where needed:

• Airtable — our candidate database

• Brevo — sends iN-sites and our automatic emails

• Netlify — our website host, which also receives our contact and talent pool forms

• Our email and office software providers

• Clients — only when we put you forward for a specific role, and we discuss it with you first

• Professional advisers, insurers and authorities — where needed or required by law

Some of these providers store data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the UK–US data bridge or by transfer terms approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.

How Long We Keep It

Information	How long
Talent pool registrations, applications and CVs	Up to 6 years, unless you ask us to delete them sooner
Enquiries, including those that don't lead to work	Up to 6 years, unless you ask us to delete them sooner
Placement, timesheet and payroll records	6 years, for tax and legal reasons
Client and supplier contract and financial records	6 years after the contract ends
iN-sites subscriptions	Until you unsubscribe

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• get a copy of your information

• have it corrected

• have it deleted

• restrict how we use it

• object to how we use it, including being kept in our talent pool

• receive it in a format you can take elsewhere

To use any of these rights, email info@unit8d.com. We will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
