Privacy Policy
updated in June 2023
This website is brought to you by AuthentiCareer LLP. We take the privacy of our website users very seriously. We ask that you read this privacy policy (Policy) carefully as it contains important information about how we will use your personal data.
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, and the European Union GDPR, AuthentiCareer (‘we’ or ‘us’) are the ‘data controller’ (ie the company who is responsible for, and controls the processing of, your personal data).
Personal data we may collect about you
We will obtain personal data about you (such as your name and email address) whenever you complete an online form. For example, we will obtain your personal data when you sign up to join our email list or buy our services. We keep a track record of your data during 1 year (from the last moment you interacted with our website, or opted in to our free email updates).
We may monitor your use of this website through the use of cookies and similar tracking devices. For example, we may monitor how many times you visit, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.
How we use your personal data
We will use your personal data for the purposes described in the data protection notice that was given to you at the time your data were obtained. These purposes include:
- to help us identify you and any accounts you hold with us;
- administration;
- customer profiling and analysing your preferences;
- marketing—see ‘Marketing and opting out’, below;
- fraud prevention and detection;
- billing and order fulfilment;
- customising this website and its content to your particular preferences;

Marketing and opting out
If you have given permission, we may contact you by email about our services, promotions and special offers that may be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive any direct marketing communications from us, you can opt out at any time. See ‘Your rights’, below for further information.
Disclosure of your personal data
We may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity. We shall not disclose your personal data to any other third parties without your permission.
Keeping your data secure
We will use appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example we restrict access to your data.
While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the internet.
Credit checking
For fraud prevention and money laundering purposes, we may search the files of credit reference and fraud prevention agencies (who will record the search).

You have the right to require us to correct any inaccuracies in your data free of charge. If you wish to exercise this right, you should:
