Who we are
VisaLiv helps people find UK jobs with employers that hold a sponsor licence. We are the controller of the data you give us. Contact us at .
What we collect
What you type on the sign-up form: your name, contact details, where you live, your work history, skills, registrations, salary expectations, visa situation and the regions you want to work in. If you send a CV, a recruiter reads it to fill in these fields; we don't keep the CV file.
Why we use it
- To find you jobs. Our system compares your profile with live UK job adverts and suggests matches. It never decides on its own: a recruiter checks every match and can explain why it was suggested.
- To introduce you to employers, only if you ticked that box, and only for a match a recruiter has approved.
- To send you job alerts by email or WhatsApp, only if you ticked those boxes.
We rely on your consent for each of these. You can withdraw it at any time on Your data and we stop straight away.
Who sees it
VisaLiv recruiters and admins. Our sales team sees only that suitable candidates exist, not who you are. Employers see your profile only after you agreed and a recruiter approved the match. We don't sell your data.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it, or 24 months after your last activity with us, whichever comes first. Then it is erased automatically. We keep a record that a deletion happened, without your details.
Where it is stored
On servers in the UK. If any of our staff work from outside the UK, we protect that access with the UK's approved transfer agreements.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, deletion, or for us to stop processing it. Use Your data or email us; we reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we handled your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Fees
We never charge candidates. Employers pay us when they hire.
