Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by Samuel James Recruitment Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 12938719 (“Samuel James”, “we”, “us”). We are responsible for the personal information you share with us through this website. You can contact us about privacy at sam@samuel-james.com.

What we collect

When you use our forms or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, location, current job title, employer, discipline, resume and anything else you choose to include in your message. If you are hiring, we collect your name, company, role details and contact information. We do not ask for sensitive information such as health details, and we ask that you do not include it in your resume or messages.

How we use it

We use your information to respond to your enquiry, to discuss roles or hiring needs with you, to assess whether you are a fit for current or future opportunities, and to keep in touch about relevant opportunities or market information. We rely on your consent when you submit your resume, and on our legitimate interests in running a recruitment business when we respond to enquiries and keep business contacts up to date.

Who we share it with

We will never send your resume or details to an employer without first telling you who it is and getting your agreement. We use trusted service providers to host this website, send email and store records, and they may only use your information to provide that service to us. We do not sell your personal information.

International transfers

We work with clients and candidates in the United States and are based in the United Kingdom, so your information may be processed in both countries. Where we transfer information, we take reasonable steps to make sure it is protected to the standard required by law.

How long we keep it

We keep candidate information for as long as it is useful for helping you find relevant roles, and we review our records regularly. If we have not been in contact with you for two years, we will delete your information or ask whether you would like us to keep it. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the information we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, to object to or restrict how we use it, to withdraw your consent, and to ask for a copy of it. California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, email sam@samuel-james.com. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights. If you are in the UK and are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
