Privacy Policy
Effective date: 19 June 2026
How and why we use information
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, provide recruitment services, assess suitability for roles, communicate about opportunities, introduce candidates to prospective employers, verify qualifications and references, manage client and candidate relationships, operate and secure our website, and meet legal obligations.
Our legal bases are taking steps at your request before entering a contract, performing a contract, complying with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating a professional recruitment business. Where required, including for certain marketing, optional cookies or special-category data, we rely on consent.
Who we are
Select Ambition Limited (“Select Ambition”, “we”, “us”) is the data controller for personal data handled through this website and our recruitment services. Contact: info@selectambition.com, +353 (0)1 538 8189, Select Ambition, Spencer Dock, Dublin 1, D01 H3K0, Ireland.
Information we collect
We may collect your name, contact details, CV, work and education history, professional qualifications, skills, availability, salary expectations, work-authorisation information, correspondence, interview notes, references and other information you provide. We may also receive information from referees, employers, professional networking sites, job boards and publicly available sources. Please do not provide sensitive personal data unless it is relevant and requested. Where recruitment requires health, background-check or other special-category information, we will explain why it is needed and apply an appropriate legal basis and safeguards.
Sharing information
We may share relevant information with prospective employers and clients, referees, professional advisers, regulators or public authorities, and service providers supporting hosting, communications, job advertising, IT, security and recruitment administration. These providers may include Vercel and services reached through links on this site, such as Indeed and LinkedIn. We require service providers to protect personal data and use it only for authorised purposes. We do not sell personal data.
International transfers
Some providers or recipients may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we use an approved safeguard, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, together with additional safeguards where appropriate. Recruitment involving the United Kingdom may rely on the applicable EU adequacy decision while it remains valid.
Retention
We retain candidate information only as long as needed. Unless a longer period is required by law or agreed with you, candidate records are generally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Placement, client, contractual, invoicing and compliance records may be retained for up to 7 years. Unnecessary information is deleted or anonymised. You may ask us to delete your information sooner, subject to legal obligations and legitimate record-keeping needs.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent and object to direct marketing at any time. To exercise a right, email info@selectambition.com. We may need to verify your identity. You may complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie.
Cookies and website technology
This website uses essential cookies required for security and operation. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregated, anonymised page use; it does not use cookies. Analytics, advertising or other optional cookies should only be used after you make a choice through our cookie banner. You can reject optional cookies or change your preferences through the cookie settings provided on the site. Third-party websites reached through our links have their own privacy and cookie practices.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data. No internet service is completely secure, so please use care when sending sensitive information by email.
Automated decisions
We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means. Recruitment decisions involve human review.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services or legal obligations. The effective date above will be revised when material changes are made. Questions, requests or complaints may be sent to info@selectambition.com.
