Privacy Policy

Introduction

LCR International (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage with our recruitment services. We comply with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR.

The Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data:

• Contact details — name, email address, phone number, address
• Professional information — job title, employer, industry sector
• Recruitment information — CVs, career history, interview notes, call recordings, transcripts, meeting notes
• Communications — emails, messages, and information you choose to provide
• Website usage data — analytics, cookies, and technical information

Some CVs may include special category data (such as health or ethnicity). Our consultants review CVs before using any AI tools and will remove or obtain explicit consent before processing this type of information.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to:

• Provide and improve our recruitment services
• Match you with suitable roles
• Communicate with you about opportunities
• Operate and improve our website
• Meet our legal obligations
• Pursue our legitimate business interests

How We Use AI Technology

We use AI‑enabled tools to support our recruitment processes. These tools may help us:

• Identify relevant candidates
• Draft outreach messages
• Transcribe calls and create summaries
• Generate meeting notes
• Organise and analyse recruitment information

Human review

AI tools do not make decisions about you. All AI outputs are reviewed by an LCR consultant before any action is taken.

Multiple AI vendors

We may use several AI providers, including:

• AI‑enabled recruitment platforms
• AI transcription and note‑taking tools
• AI email drafting tools
• Large language model providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar vendors

We only work with AI vendors who meet strict security and data protection standards.

Requesting information about our AI vendors

To protect the security of our systems, we do not publish a full list of all AI vendors publicly. However, in line with our transparency obligations under UK GDPR, you may request details of the AI vendors that process your personal data.

If you would like to receive this information, you can contact us at hello@lcrint.com and we will provide a current list of relevant AI processors and sub‑processors.

We only work with vendors who meet strict data protection and security standards, and no AI vendor is permitted to use your personal data to train or improve their models unless you have explicitly consented.

No AI training on your data

Our AI vendors are contractually required not to use your personal data to train or improve their models unless you have explicitly consented.

Lawful Basis for Using Your Data

We rely on Legitimate Interests to process personal data for recruitment and to use AI tools that support our services. This includes improving efficiency, accuracy, and communication. You can object to AI‑assisted processing at any time.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your data with:

• Service providers, including AI vendors, who process data on our behalf
• Clients, when you agree to be put forward for a role
• Legal authorities, where required
• Professional advisers such as auditors or legal counsel

We do not sell your personal data.

International Transfers

Some AI vendors may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

• The UK International Data Transfer Addendum (UK IDTA)
• Standard Contractual Clauses with UK Addendum
• Other approved transfer mechanisms

Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. Our service providers may use encryption, multi‑factor authentication, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2 certified systems, and regular security testing.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for recruitment purposes. Some AI tools delete data immediately after processing, while others retain data for a defined period. We also apply internal retention schedules for inactive candidates.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion in certain circumstances
• Restrict processing
• Object to processing, including AI‑assisted processing
• Data portability

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
