Under the Employment Agencies Act, Pursue IT Recruitment Ltd is obliged to hold your data for 12 months after it was last used. After 12 months of non-usage we will contact you and ask you if you want to keep your details on our database. If you do not indicate by signing in to Pursue IT Recruitment Ltd that you wish your details to be retained on our database, we will archive your account.
