Privacy Notice

Last updated: September 2026

1. Who we are

NIM Engineering Talent is a trading name of NIM Geospatial UK Ltd, registered in England and Wales under Company No. 14338767 and founded in 2022. Our registered office is Epsom, England, KT17 2NE. We operate a specialist recruitment and talent-network service for UK construction and infrastructure professionals.

NIM Geospatial UK Ltd is the data controller for the personal information described in this notice. You can contact us about privacy at info@nimtalent.co.uk, or by writing to us at the registered office address above.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may collect:

• identity and contact details, such as your name, email address, telephone number and location or postcode;
• professional information, such as your CV, employment history, education, technical skills, equipment and software experience, project sectors, cards and qualifications;
• work preferences, including employment type, availability, preferred locations and salary or day-rate expectations;
• employer and partner information, such as company details, contact details and vacancy or promotional requirements; and
• records of your communications with us.

We collect this information directly from you when you register, submit a vacancy, make a partner enquiry or contact us.

3. Why we use information

We use personal information to operate candidate profiles, administer applications, match people to relevant opportunities, communicate with you about recruitment, manage employer and partner relationships, maintain the security of our service, meet our legal obligations and improve what we offer.

4. Lawful basis

Our lawful basis depends on the activity:

• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract — registering you on the network and putting you forward for roles.
• Performance of a contract — delivering recruitment services to employer clients.
• Legitimate interests — operating, securing and improving a recruitment service, where this does not override your rights.
• Legal obligation — meeting employment, tax and other statutory requirements.
• Consent — optional marketing, and any other activity where consent is the appropriate basis. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Special-category information (such as health data) and criminal-offence information require additional conditions and are not collected routinely without a defined need.

5. Sharing your information

We may share information with:

• Prospective employers, where relevant to a recruitment opportunity. We use a controlled disclosure process: we discuss a role with you before we send your CV to an employer, and we do not publish candidate profiles or CVs openly on this website or anywhere else.
• Service providers who help us run the service, including our website hosting and form-processing provider, Netlify, and our email and business-administration providers. These providers act on our instructions.
• Professional advisers, regulators or authorities, where we are required or permitted to do so by law.

We do not sell personal information.

6. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as there is a justified recruitment, contractual or legal need:

• Candidate records and CVs — up to 24 months from our last meaningful contact with you, after which they are reviewed and deleted unless you ask us to keep them active or a longer period is legally required.
• General enquiries — up to 12 months from the date the enquiry is closed.
• Client, placement and financial records — up to 6 years after the end of the relationship, to meet tax, accounting and limitation-period requirements.

You can ask us to delete your details sooner at any time using the contact details in section 10.

7. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you have the right to access your personal information, to have inaccurate information corrected, to have information deleted, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, to withdraw consent where consent is our basis, and rights relating to automated decision-making. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@nimtalent.co.uk. We will respond within one month, and will tell you if we need longer.

8. Automated matching

We may use structured criteria to rank the potential relevance between a profile and a vacancy. These match indicators support human assessment; they do not replace it. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.

9. Security and international transfers

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections to this website, access controls and restricted handling of CVs.

Our website hosting and form-processing provider, Netlify, operates infrastructure and support outside the UK, including in the United States. Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Contact and complaints

For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, email info@nimtalent.co.uk or write to NIM Geospatial UK Ltd, Epsom, England, KT17 2NE.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

11. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and we will tell you about significant changes where it is appropriate to do so.
