Privacy Policy — Humand Talent Solutions

Last updated: 8 September 2026

1. Who we are

Humand Talent Limited ("Humand", "we", "us") is a company registered in England & Wales, based in Oxfordshire. We act as a data controller for personal data collected through our website, community platform and recruitment services.

Contact: privacy@humand.co.uk.

2. What we collect

Account & profile data — name, email, phone, CV, work history, links you provide.
Client & enquiry data — company, role, hiring needs, correspondence.
Community data — posts, questions, event attendance, mentor/founder applications.
Usage data — limited first-party product events recorded in our own systems, such as sign-ins and pages or searches used on the site, plus cookies (see Cookie Policy). If you choose Analytics cookies, we also use PostHog for a small, fixed set of named product-analytics events — such as a job search, a filter, an application being started or a hiring call-to-action being clicked — and, separately, for session replay on selected public browsing pages only. Replay is not used on signing in, your account, applications, the CV tools, payment, or staff and admin areas. In both cases we send only the site address and the page path, never the part after it. If you later withdraw Analytics, capture stops and the analytics identifiers PostHog stored on your device are removed; a single non-identifying record of your refusal remains so the tool stays off. See the Cookie Policy for what each covers, how long recordings are kept, and how to withdraw.

3. How we use it

To match candidates with roles and deliver our recruitment services (contract / legitimate interests).
To operate the community, events and content (contract / legitimate interests).
To send transactional emails you request and, with consent, marketing updates.
To meet legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

4. Sharing

We share personal data only with: prospective employers you consent to be introduced to; sub-processors that power our infrastructure (hosting, email delivery, CRM); and authorities where legally required. We do not sell personal data, and we share it with a third-party analytics provider only where you have chosen Analytics cookies — currently PostHog, acting as our processor under a signed data processing agreement (see the Cookie Policy).

5. International transfers

Some sub-processors are based outside the UK/EEA. Where they are, we rely on adequacy decisions or UK IDTA / EU SCCs.

6. Retention

Candidate records are retained for up to 24 months after last meaningful contact, then deleted or anonymised. Client records are retained for the duration of the relationship plus 6 years for tax purposes. Marketing consent is retained until withdrawn. Raw first-party product event records (for example that a sign-in happened or a job search was run) are retained for 180 days and then automatically deleted.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and to withdraw consent. Submit a request via our data request page or email privacy@humand.co.uk. You can complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.

8. Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and audit logging. No system is perfectly secure — report concerns to security@humand.co.uk.

9. Changes

We will update this page when our practices change and notify registered users of material changes by email.
