Bennett Search ("we," "our," or "us") collects information you voluntarily provide when you submit your profile, express interest in a role, or contact us through this website. This may include your name, email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile URL, resume or CV, employment history, compensation expectations, and any messages or notes you include. We also automatically collect certain technical data including IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data through cookies and similar technologies.
For individuals in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data under the following lawful bases: (a) your consent to provide your information for recruitment purposes; (b) our legitimate interests in operating an executive search business and matching candidates with opportunities; and (c) compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.
We use the information you provide for recruitment and executive search purposes: matching your profile with active and upcoming mandates, communicating with you about relevant opportunities, presenting qualified candidates to our hiring firm clients, maintaining our talent database, responding to your enquiries, complying with legal obligations, and improving our services. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Your profile and materials may be shared with hiring firms (private equity funds and portfolio companies) only when we believe there is a strong match and with your prior awareness. We use trusted service providers for website hosting, file storage, email communications, and analytics who are contractually bound to protect your data and process it solely on our instructions. We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect our legal rights.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection. By using this website, you consent to the transfer of your information to such countries.
We retain candidate profiles and firm enquiries for as long as they remain relevant to our search activities, or as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. Residual copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before being permanently purged.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
