Legal
Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 June 2026. This policy explains what personal data HushHiring collects, why, and the rights you have over it under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who we are
HushHiring is operated by SelectWise Consulting Limited, a company registered in England & Wales, based in Reading, UK. We are the data controller for the personal data described below. Questions or requests: desk@hushhiring.com.
2. What we collect
- Your work email address — to send passwordless sign-in links, your daily signal digest, and account communications.
- Desk preferences — the cities and sectors you choose, and your digest setting, so we can tailor your feed.
- Billing data — handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your card details; we store only your subscription status and Stripe identifiers.
- Basic technical data — standard server logs (IP, timestamps) for security and reliability.
The hiring-signal data shown on your desk is drawn from public and licensed business sources about companies — it is not personal data about you.
3. Why we use it (legal basis)
- To provide the service (sign-in, your desk, the digest) — performance of our contract with you.
- To take payment — performance of contract, via Stripe.
- To keep the service secure and working — our legitimate interests.
4. Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies only — a sign-in session cookie and an anti-forgery cookie. These are required for the service to function and to keep it secure. We do not use advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking cookies, so no consent banner is required.
5. Who we share it with
We use a small number of processors who act only on our instructions: Stripe (payments), GoHighLevel (transactional email delivery), and our hosting provider. We never sell your data or share it for marketing.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your account data while your account or trial is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting, and security obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymised. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
7. International transfers
Some processors (e.g. Stripe) may process data outside the UK/EEA. Where they do, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.
8. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on it. To exercise any of these, email desk@hushhiring.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
9. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
