Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains how DirectAppoint collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit our website or use our services.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, work email, company, the role you want to hire and any message you send through our forms. We also collect limited technical data automatically, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring URLs, to keep the site secure and understand how it is used.

2. How we use your information

  • To respond to enquiries and provide candidate shortlists and quotes.
  • To deliver, manage and improve our services.
  • To send service-related communications you have requested.
  • To protect our website from spam, fraud and abuse.
  • To meet legal and regulatory obligations.

3. Legal bases

Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, we process personal data on the basis of your consent, the performance of a contract, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, or compliance with legal obligations.

4. Sharing your information

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (for example hosting and email providers) under confidentiality obligations, with candidates or clients as needed to deliver our services, or where required by law.

5. Data retention

We keep enquiry data for as long as needed to respond and manage our relationship with you, and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer required, unless a longer period is required by law.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls and secure infrastructure — to protect personal information.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies and, where enabled, analytics cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it was last revised.
