1. Who I am

Russell HR provides HR consultancy and support to schools, charities and other organisations.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller is:

Russell HR

Email: angela@russellhr.com

2. Information I collect

Depending on how you interact with Russell HR, I may collect personal information including:

  • your name and job title;

  • your organisation or employer;

  • your email address and telephone number;

  • information you provide when making an enquiry or booking a call;

  • correspondence between you and Russell HR;

  • information required to provide my services or manage my relationship with you;

  • billing and payment information; and

  • technical information about how you use this website, such as your IP address, browser type, device and website usage information.

Where Russell HR provides HR consultancy services to an organisation, I may also process personal information relating to employees, workers, applicants or other individuals on behalf of that organisation. The way that information is handled will depend on the particular service and my relationship with the client.

3. How I collect your information

I may collect personal information:

  • directly from you when you contact me, complete a form, book a call or engage my services;

  • from an organisation that has engaged Russell HR to provide HR services;

  • through correspondence by email, telephone or other communication channels;

  • through my website and the technologies used to operate it; and

  • from third parties or publicly available sources where appropriate and lawful.

4. How I use your information

I may use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries;

  • arrange calls and meetings;

  • provide HR consultancy and related services;

  • communicate with clients and prospective clients;

  • manage contracts, invoices and payments;

  • maintain business and financial records;

  • improve and maintain my website and services;

  • understand how visitors use my website;

  • send relevant updates or marketing communications where permitted; and

  • meet my legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

5. My lawful bases for processing

Under UK data protection law, I must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on:

Contract – where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of running and developing Russell HR, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Legal obligation – where I need to process information to comply with a legal requirement.

Consent – where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information. Where I rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Where special category personal data is processed, an appropriate additional legal condition will also be identified where required.

6. HR consultancy and client information

As an HR consultancy, Russell HR may receive personal information about individuals through the organisations I support.

Depending on the circumstances, I may act as a data processor on behalf of a client organisation or as a data controller in my own right.

Where I process personal data on behalf of a client, that organisation remains responsible for determining why the information is processed and for providing appropriate privacy information to the individuals concerned.

I only use information received through my HR consultancy work for the purposes for which it has been provided and in accordance with my contractual and legal obligations.

7. Sharing your information

I may share personal information with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate my business and provide my services. These may include:

  • website and hosting providers;

  • email and communication providers;

  • accounting and payment providers;

  • booking or scheduling systems;

  • IT and cloud storage providers; and

  • professional advisers where appropriate.

I may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

I do not sell your personal information.

8. International transfers

Some of the service providers I use may process or store personal information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, I take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

9. How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, contractual and reporting requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be kept for different periods.

When information is no longer required, I will securely delete or anonymise it where appropriate.

10. Keeping your information secure

I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Access to personal information is limited to people and service providers who have a legitimate need to access it.

11. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights in relation to your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • request access to your personal information;

  • ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • request deletion of your personal information;

  • ask me to restrict how your information is used;

  • object to certain types of processing;

  • request the transfer of certain information; and

  • withdraw consent where I rely on consent to process your information.

These rights do not apply in every circumstance.
