2. Why We Collect Your Information

We collect your Personal Information for purposes including:

- Providing recruitment, consulting, and placement services

7. Security of Your Information

We store your personal information securely, using both physical and digital safeguards to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access or disclosure.

We retain personal information for as long as legally required (typically seven years) or until it is no longer necessary for its original purpose. When no longer needed, we securely destroy or de-identify the information.

8. Access and Correction

You may request access to your personal information, or request a correction if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.

Requests can be made by contacting us in writing (see Section 11). We may require verification of your identity before releasing information.
