Steadman Brown GDPR & Privacy Policy


As a recruitment company, Steadman Brown Limited specialises in providing Salesforce.com specific work-finding services to its clients and Salesforce-related job seekers. In order to provide these services, Steadman Brown must process personal data, excluding sensitive data. By doing so, Steadman Brown acts as a data controller.


Steadman Brown may collect personal information directly from you, such as on an application form or online registration form, or from another source such as a job board or LinkedIn.

In order to provide you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you, we will only use your personal data in accordance with the terms of the following statement:

When Steadman Brown has relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data, our legitimate interests are as follows:

  • We have advertised an opportunity on either our website or on various job boards that you have applied directly for. As part of this process, you will be required to provide your name and contact information.
  • Our company is solely focused on Salesforce.com recruitment, and you are Salesforce-experienced, so we would have reached out to you, using a third-party platform such as LinkedIn or another job board to find your name and contact details.

Upon successful onboarding with our recruiting company, a 'right to represent' form will be completed outlining your data rights and the intended use of your data.

Data retention

The Company will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 require us to retain work-seeker records for at least one year following (a) the date on which they were first created or (b) the date on which we last provided you with work-finding services.In the event that further consent is not obtained, your data will be permanently removed from our databases.

It is confirmed by Steadman Brown that any information requested will be used for recruitment purposes only, including contact information, location, professional profile, educational background, and work experience. Steadman Brown ensures that all data is obtained in a lawful manner. The collection of information from social profiles is legal under GDPR if the profiles are publicly accessible and if it is reasonable to assume that candidates expect to be contacted. This data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

All data processed by Steadman Brown is handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorized processing, access, loss, destruction or damage.
