We will collect and process the following data about you:
The information that we collect about contains personal data that enable us to assist you in the recruitment process. This data consists of information such as your name, address, e-mail address, and work and education history, plus your nationality which we are required to collect by law.

However, this aggregate data does not contain personally identifiable information.
Allen Lane gives you the option to submit your CV using this website. In submitting your CV and any other personal information you consent that such information will be made available to our consultants and prospective clients in connection with recruitment process unless you state otherwise.
Allen Lane takes every precaution to protect your personal information. All personal information entered In alfr.co.uk is protected using industry-standard Secure Layer (SSL) Encryption Technology.

Details may also be disclosed if required by law or for the purposes of Allen Lane’s business requirements (e.g. to auditors or third party service suppliers).
If your application is unsuccessful, we may try to find you employment with alternative employees and may, therefore, disclose your details to other prospective employers and clients in connection with the recruitment process (which for these purposes includes the process of gaining employment and the ongoing administrative process involved once you have gained employment), unless you tell us otherwise.
