We will process your personal data in the context of providing our Services and maintaining our business relationship with you. This may include contacting you about an assignment, verifying profile details, identifying, assessing and evaluating individuals, and/or presenting our insights, analysis or reports to our clients.
We may also use the data in circumstances such as the following:
- to help support and improve our business operations (e.g. interview transcription (if applicable), audit procedures, security processes, document storage, maintenance of our systems and infrastructure, data analytics, benchmarking, statistics, creating knowledge pieces, determining the effectiveness of our Services);

- to invite you to or inform you about a company or industry event including our webinars or other events;

We strive to ensure that your personal data is accurate, complete, and current. Your data will only be used in a way that is compatible with its intended use and will not be processed in any way that is contrary to what is outlined in this policy. We will not sell your personal data.
What is our Legal Basis for Processing your Personal Data?
Liddell Consulting Group’s legal basis for processing your personal data in the context of providing its Services will depend on the personal information and processing activity involved and the specific context in which it was obtained. This can be:
- our legitimate business interest, provided the processing of such information is not overridden by your own interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms. For example: managing, operating or promoting our business, building and maintaining relationships with you, our clients and vendors, analyzing and improving our Services;
- your consent, where required by applicable law. For example: for any potentially sensitive information that may come to light during interviews, for employment diversity requirements, for recorded interview sessions; or
- our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements under applicable laws
Where the Personal Data is Held and How It Is Transferred?
Personal information is held on Liddell Consulting Group’s Hubspot contact portal and is subject to Hubspot’s privacy and security guarantees. Your information will never be sold or shared without your knowledge. We may disclose personal information where required by law or in connection with any legal claims, subpoenas, warrants or other governmental/regulatory/judicial requests.
How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Data?
Liddell Consulting Group will retain your personal data for as long as the data is needed in connection with the purposes for which it is being processed and depending on the nature of our relationship with you.
Specifically, we will retain personal data for as long as we have your consent or a legitimate interest to do so. We may also be required to retain certain personal information (i) for our business records (ii) to show that we have fulfilled our obligations towards relevant parties such as our clients and candidates, or to continue meeting any of our obligations once we have completed an assignment in which you may have been involved in, (iii) for us to be able to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, or (iv) to otherwise comply with our legal obligations.
Once the need to retain your data has expired, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with data minimization principles. If this is not possible at the time, (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives) then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
