Privacy policy
How AYM Recruitment collects and uses personal data, for candidates, hiring companies and visitors to this site.
Last updated: 29 October 2026
Who we are
AYM Recruitment Ltd is a recruitment agency working in EV charging and battery energy storage. We are the data controller for the personal data you share with us through this website.
• Registered in England and Wales, company number 15579507
• Registered office: 63 Charnwood Street, Coalville, Leicestershire, LE67 3DH, United Kingdom
• Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, reference ZB683479
• Data protection contact: hello@aymrecruitment.com
This site is built and hosted on Redsun, which handles the technology and processes data on AYM Recruitment's instructions.
What this policy covers
It covers the personal data we collect through aymrecruitment.com and what happens to it afterwards, including once it sits in our recruitment database. It applies to candidates, to people we approach about roles, to contacts at hiring companies, and to anyone who fills in a form here.
What we collect
From candidates and applicants:
• Name, email address, phone number and where you are based.
• Your CV, work history, qualifications and anything else you send with an application.
• Current and expected salary or rate, notice period, and the kind of work you are after.
• Right-to-work and visa status where the role requires it.
• Notes from our conversations about roles and your search.
From hiring companies:
• Name, job title, work email and phone number.
• Notes about your hiring needs and our discussions.
From everyone who uses the site:
• How you use the site: the pages you view, how you got here, where you click and how far you scroll, how long you stay, whether a form field gave you trouble (never what you typed), how quickly pages loaded and any errors. If you followed a link we emailed you, that you clicked it. See Cookies below.
• Whatever you type into a contact, enquiry or registration form.
We ask for equal opportunities information, or health information such as an adjustment you need at interview, only where a client's process requires it or we need it to make that adjustment. We tell you why at the time, and you can decline.
Where we get it
Most of it comes from you. We also source candidates the way every search firm does: professional networks such as LinkedIn, job boards, company websites, industry events and referrals. If we approach you off the back of a public profile, this page is your notice of it. What we hold at that point is your name, employer, job title and public career history, and you can tell us to delete it in one reply.
Why we use it, and our lawful basis
• To match you to roles, put you forward to clients and run the process through to offer. Legitimate interest, and steps towards a contract once you are in a process.
• To contact you about roles, the market and your search. Legitimate interest for business contacts and live candidates, consent where the law requires it, which you can withdraw at any time.
• To provide recruitment services to hiring companies, including sending them relevant candidate details. Legitimate interest.
• To run, secure and improve this website. Legitimate interest for the essentials and for our own visit statistics, which you can switch off at any time; consent for Google Analytics cookies.
• To meet our legal obligations, including the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 and right-to-work checks. Legal obligation.
Where we rely on legitimate interest we have weighed it against your rights, and you can object. See Your rights below.
Software, AI and human decisions
Our platform uses software to read applications. It checks a CV against the requirements in the advert, tags sector and seniority, and ranks how closely a profile matches a live role. That is there to help us read applications quickly and consistently.
It decides nothing about you. A person reads every application, nothing is rejected automatically, and no decision about your candidacy is made by software alone.
Who we share it with
• Hiring companies we put you forward to. We tell you who before we send anything, and that company becomes a data controller in its own right from the point it receives your details.
• Service providers acting on our instructions: our website and marketing platform (Redsun Innovations Ltd), our recruitment CRM, our email provider and our analytics provider. They act only on our instructions and cannot use your data for their own purposes.
• Professional advisers, and public authorities where the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for advertising.
Where your data is held
Our website and its database are hosted in the European Union. Some of the services we use, including analytics and parts of our CRM, process data in the United States. Where personal data leaves the UK we rely on the safeguards UK law recognises: adequacy regulations, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long we keep it
• Data you submit through this website is deleted automatically 24 months after you last registered, applied or contacted us.
• Records in our recruitment database are kept while you are a live candidate or contact, and reviewed 24 months after our last meaningful contact. After that we delete or anonymise them.
• Records of how the site was used lose the link to your browser after 100 days and are deleted after 14 months. Daily totals that identify no one are kept.
• Where the law requires us to keep records, such as placement and payment records or right-to-work evidence, we keep them for the period it sets and no longer.
Security
Access to candidate and client data is limited to the people who need it. Data is encrypted in transit, our systems require individual accounts, and our suppliers are contracted to equivalent standards. If a breach puts your rights at real risk, we will tell you and the ICO within the time the law allows.
Your rights
If you are in the UK or the EU you can ask us to:
• give you a copy of what we hold about you
• correct anything that is wrong
• delete it
• restrict or object to how we use it, including direct marketing, which we stop on request without question
• send it to you or another provider in a portable format
• withdraw consent, where consent is what we relied on
Email hello@aymrecruitment.com and we will answer within one month. There is no charge. If our answer does not satisfy you, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
If you are in the United States
We place people with employers in the United States, so this covers a lot of the candidates we work with. Several states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and Texas, now have their own privacy laws. Depending on where you live you may have the right to know what we hold, to have it corrected or deleted, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act. We will not treat you any differently for exercising a right. Email hello@aymrecruitment.com and we will handle your request the same way we handle a UK one.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to run the site, and Google Analytics cookies only if you accept them. You can decline those and change your mind later.
Separately, the site counts visits for our own statistics. It keeps an anonymous reference in your browser, is never joined to your name, even when you fill in a form, and goes to no one but Redsun, which runs it for us. In the UK, the US and most other countries it does not ask first, and you can switch it off at any time, free of charge: turn off Site measurement under Manage preferences in the cookie banner, or use the Don't measure my visit button on our cookie policy page. Your browser then sends nothing further. In the EU and the EEA it runs only if you accept analytics.
If you follow a link we sent you, the site records that you clicked it and which page it opened. It may also set one cookie, rs_vid, so we can see which pages you read on that visit and later ones. In the UK, the EU and the EEA it asks you first; elsewhere it sets the cookie when you follow the link. You can switch it off at any time under Manage preferences.
Our cookie policy lists what is set and why.
Children
This site and our services are for people of working age. We do not knowingly collect data about anyone under 16.
Changes
We update this policy when what we do changes. The date at the top tells you when it last changed.
