Who we are
G G Consulting LTD ("we", "us") is a hospitality staffing and consulting business in the United Kingdom. We are the controller of the personal data described here. Contact us about your data at ggconsulting123@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
| Who | Data | Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clients (hotels, venues) | Name, company/venue, email, phone, venue address and postcode, staffing requirements, messages | Responding to requests, arranging and invoicing staffing and consulting | Steps before a contract / contract; legitimate interests |
| Candidates (chefs, FOH) | Name, contact and address details, gender, date of birth, nationality, National Insurance number, job preferences and availability, licence and transport answers, relevant conviction declaration, referee details, bank details, CV, identity proof and certificates you upload | Assessing suitability, finding you work, meeting agency legal obligations | Steps before a contract; legal obligation (right-to-work and agency record-keeping); legitimate interests |
| Anyone contacting us | Name, email, phone, message | Answering your enquiry | Legitimate interests |
| Website visitors | Analytics data (only if you accept analytics cookies) | Understanding how the site is used | Consent — withdraw any time via "Cookie settings" |
We collect identity proof during chef registration. National Insurance, banking and conviction details are stored encrypted and kept out of application notification emails. Only authorised HR staff and administrators can reveal them in the back office.
Who we share it with
Client venues see only the professional details needed to confirm a placement — never your documents or personal contact details unless you agree. We use trusted processors for hosting, email delivery and (with consent) analytics, under written data-processing terms. Google Analytics may transfer data to the United States under the UK–US data bridge.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to work: up to 2 years from the last contact.
- Candidate records: up to 2 years after our last contact with you, or longer where the law requires (for example, employment-agency and tax records).
- Client records: 6 years after the end of the business relationship (accounting obligations).
Security
Data is sent over HTTPS. Uploaded documents are stored privately, never at a public web address, and only authorised HR staff can open them; every access is logged.
