Privacy Policy

Candidates: Email address, name, CV (PDF), and the structured data we extract from it (job titles, skills, experience, sectors). Preferences you set during onboarding (salary range, location, job types). Records of matches found, applications sent on your behalf, and interview requests received.

Employers: Email address, company name, company description, website. Billing information processed by Stripe (we do not store card details). Job posts you create.

Hiring companies we contact: Publicly available business information about companies advertising roles — company name, registration details from Companies House (company number, status and type), and a business role inbox (such as careers@ or hr@) published on the company's own website. We do not collect or use the personal data of company officers held by Companies House.

We use candidate data exclusively to match you to relevant job opportunities and submit applications on your behalf. We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

Your CV and the details you enter are used to match you to relevant roles using text search within our own database. We do not use any third-party AI service to do this.

Employer contact details are shared with candidates only when an interview is accepted. Candidate contact details are never shared with employers until the candidate explicitly accepts an interview request. Messages between candidates and employers are relayed through our platform, and contact details within message text are removed before forwarding.

If you save a search, we email you new matching jobs at the cadence you chose (daily or weekly). Every alert has an unsubscribe link, and you can delete saved searches from your account at any time.

We identify companies that are advertising roles from public job listings and their own careers pages. Where matched candidates fit a role, we may contact the company to introduce them.

Before contacting a company, we verify it at Companies House to confirm it is an active UK-registered company. We source a business role inbox (such as careers@ or hr@) from the company's own public website. We do not use the Companies House API for any personal data of directors or officers, only the company's registration status.

We contact registered companies as corporate subscribers in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Every message identifies Floated and includes an unsubscribe link, and we keep a suppression list of anyone who objects. If you are a company and do not want to hear from us, use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact us and we will stop.

Contract performance: Processing your CV and preferences to deliver the matching service you signed up for.

Legitimate interests: Sending applications on your behalf to publicly listed roles (as your appointed agent), notifying you of matches, and contacting UK-registered companies that are advertising relevant roles to introduce matched candidates. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time.

Consent: Sending marketing emails (weekly digests). You can withdraw consent at any time.

We retain candidate data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your email, name, CV file, parsed CV data, embeddings, preferences, and match history within 30 days.

Application records (what we sent, to whom, when) are retained for 90 days after account deletion for legal compliance purposes, then permanently deleted.

Employer data is retained for as long as your subscription is active, and for 7 years thereafter for accounting purposes (required by UK law).
