freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.”

contract (contractors) with us.
If we believe that you are looking for employment or we have received your personal data from a job board where you have uploaded
your personal data, and you match some of the opportunity we have from our clients, then if we contacted you, this would
fall under the purpose of legitimate interest for processing your personal data.
We also want to offer detailed opportunity recommendations that are tailored to you, to aid your search. As a result we believe it
is appropriate for us to process your data to make sure you receive the most tailored content which in turn falls under the purpose
of legitimate interests for processing your data.
If certain specific obligations fall on us, then by law, we have a legitimate interest to share your data with certain crime detection,
tax collection or any litigation purposes.
 
Client Data:
To ensure we foster a well working relationship with our clients, we store your personal data/or the personal data of individual
contacts, for each specific client of ours on a CRM database. This is also used to store records of our conversations, meetings,

under our legitimate interests as we provide our executive search and consultancy services to you.
Supplier Data:
We store data from individuals from our suppliers in order to warrant the services that you offer to us as our suppliers. We will
