This privacy policy explains what personal data Recruitment Mentors collects, how it is used, and the rights you have over it. It applies to www.recruitmentmentors.com and any forms or pages linked from it.
1. Who we are
Recruitment Mentors is a podcast and content brand operated by Hishem Azzouz.
Business address: Lm08.102, The Leather Market, Weston Street, Bermondsey, London SE1 3ER.
For any privacy queries, contact hishem@recruitmentmentors.com.
2. What we collect
We only collect personal data that you provide to us directly. That is:
- Newsletter signups: your email address, submitted via our Beehiiv signup form.
- Partnership enquiries: the information you provide on our Fillout booking forms — typically your name, email, company and the nature of your enquiry.
- Anonymous usage data: if Google Analytics is enabled on this site, it may collect cookies and anonymised browsing data such as pages viewed, device type and referrer.
We do not collect special category personal data (e.g. health, biometric or political opinion data).
3. Lawful basis
We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:
- Consent — for newsletter signups (you confirm via Beehiiv's double opt-in email).
- Legitimate interests — to respond to commercial enquiries you submit through our booking forms.
- Consent — for any non-essential analytics cookies.
4. How we use your data
- To send you the Recruitment Mentors newsletter, if you have subscribed.
- To reply to partnership or coaching enquiries you submit.
- To understand how the site is used in aggregate (analytics).
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties for marketing.
5. Third parties
We use the following processors to operate the site:
- Beehiiv — newsletter delivery and subscriber management.
- Fillout — hosts our partnership enquiry forms.
- Folk CRM — receives form submissions so we can follow up.
- Hostinger — hosts this website.
- Google Analytics — anonymous traffic analytics (if enabled).
Each of these processors has their own privacy policy. Some may transfer data outside the UK; where this happens, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
6. How long we keep data
- Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe.
- Enquiry data: up to 24 months after our last contact with you, unless we agree a longer working relationship.
