If you have indicated to us that you wish to apply for jobs overseas, then we may provide your information to organisations who are not subject to the same data protection legislation that we have in force in the UK. In these cases, we only deal with organisations who have agreed to deal with your information in line with GDPR.

We may also use your data to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you and we may contact you about these by email. Whenever we contact you we will make it expressly clear that we are the senders of the campaign. You are always free to opt-out of any communications from us by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

Under no circumstances will we sell or pass on your details to any third party except where you have given your express permission for us to do so and where you have been directed to the relevant privacy policies of that third party.
