What information is collected through this website?

We use Google Analytics to track users to this site. This does not collect individual data which could identify individuals such as name or email address but this does collect I.P. addresses and location details.

We only collect individual personal data from our Get In Touch form and our mailing list sign-up form such as name, email address and regional location.

How and why do we use this data?

We will use the data from opt-in forms to send relevant marketing communications and anyone can opt-out from these emails at any time.

The nature of this email information will be connected to the objectives of skills and recruitment and to share campaign news.
