Data Retention and Erasure

Hello Radius will keep the User’s Personal Data for as long as the account with Hello Radius remains open, or as necessary for the purposes the data was collected, namely for Hello Radius to provide the Services to you.

If the Platform or the Services are accessed or used once by a User, Hello Radius will retain the Personal Data, until the account is deleted.

If a user has a Candidate account and their CV has not been updated within 11 months, the user will be notified by email to update their profile information. The CV must be updated within 30 days on receipt of the email otherwise the CV will be deleted from our systems.

When a Candidate applies to a job advertised by Hello Radius or via the Services provided by Hello Radius then personal data within a CV or candidate profile will be stored for up to 12 months.

If you are a Candidate and you choose to delete your account, Personal Data will be removed from our systems after 24 hours. If you created a Profile and / or uploaded a CV or covering letter on the Platform, these documents will be deleted. This applies to any job applications sent and / or job alert notifications created.

If an Employer chooses to attach their privacy policy notice to their hosted careers page or widget, they thereby accept and assume full responsibility for collecting, handling, and managing information in alignment with their stated privacy policy. By incorporating their privacy policy, employers acknowledge that they are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards governing data collection, usage, and protection.

If you are an Employer and you delete your account, all Personal Data will be removed from our systems after 24 hours. However, Hello Radius will continue to store (depersonalised) data about a job advert, not constituting Personal Data, for the purpose of business performance analysis.

Even after the deletion of an account, Hello Radius will keep Personal Data that is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, accounting, or other requirements.

We may retain information, not constituting Personal Data, after your account has been deleted.

If an Employer makes a job advert inactive, or it is removed due to the deletion of the Employer’s account (or deleted/removed for any other reason in accordance with our Terms and Conditions), the job advert will no longer be visible on the Platform.

Hello Radius is not responsible and does not control data that other Users/Visitors have copied out of our Services on the Website.

Payments on our Platform are made through our third-party payment gateway provider and processing of the relevant data is done in accordance with the data processing agreement we have with them.
