Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 September 2026

1. Who we are

Wisteria Talent is an independent automotive recruitment business operated by Aaeysha Shawket. For data protection purposes, Wisteria Talent is the controller of personal information handled through this website and our recruitment services.

You can contact us at hello@wisteria-talent.com or on 07554 868890.

2. The information we may collect

Depending on how you use our website or recruitment services, we may collect and use:

• your name, email address, telephone number and location;
• your CV, employment history, qualifications, skills and career preferences;
• salary information, notice period and availability;
• information you choose to provide in messages, applications or enquiries;
• information from employers and hiring managers about vacancies and recruitment requirements;
• information from public professional profiles, job boards, recruitment platforms, referrals or other recruitment sources where it is lawful for us to use it;
• technical information generated when you use the website, where applicable.

Please avoid including sensitive or special category information unless it is relevant and necessary. If you choose to provide this information, for example to discuss reasonable adjustments, we will only use it where there is a lawful basis to do so.

3. How we use personal information

We may use your information to:

• respond to candidate and employer enquiries;
• provide recruitment and introduction services;
• assess suitability for vacancies and discuss relevant opportunities;
• manage interviews, feedback, offers and placements;
• communicate with clients and candidates about recruitment activity;
• operate, protect and improve our website and business;
• meet legal, regulatory, accounting or record-keeping requirements.

Wisteria Talent will not send your CV to an employer or introduce you for a role without your knowledge.

4. Our lawful bases

We process personal information only where data protection law allows us to. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on legitimate interests in operating a recruitment business and matching candidates with suitable opportunities, taking steps at your request in connection with a potential employment or commercial relationship, complying with legal obligations, or consent where we specifically ask for it.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us.

5. Who we may share information with

Where necessary, we may share relevant personal information with:

• prospective employers and hiring businesses, where you know about the introduction;
• candidates where information relates to a vacancy or recruitment process;
• service providers that support our website, email, hosting, recruitment systems, document storage or other business operations;
• professional advisers such as accountants, legal advisers or insurers;
• regulators, law enforcement or other authorities where required by law.

We do not sell personal information.

6. International transfers

Some technology or service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we will take appropriate steps to ensure personal information is protected in accordance with UK data protection law.

7. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including recruitment, relationship management, legal, accounting and reporting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of our relationship with you. We review information periodically and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer required.

8. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis we rely on, you may have rights to request access to your personal information, ask us to correct inaccurate information, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, request data portability, or withdraw consent.

To exercise a right, email hello@wisteria-talent.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No internet or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve them. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.
