Last updated: 3 June 2026. This page explains how HF Global handles personal information submitted through the website, by email, through Calendly, or during search and candidate conversations.
Who we are
HF Global is a specialist retained search firm based in the United Kingdom. You can contact us at info@hf-global.com.
Information we collect
We may collect your name, email address, company, role, hiring requirements, candidate information, CV or profile details, notes from conversations, and any information you choose to send us.
How we use information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, discuss search briefs, assess candidates, manage client and candidate relationships, arrange meetings, provide market insight, and keep appropriate business records.
Lawful basis
We usually process information because it is necessary for legitimate business interests connected with executive search, recruitment, client advisory and candidate representation. Where required, we may rely on consent, contractual necessity or legal obligations.
Sharing information
We do not sell personal data. We may share relevant information with clients, candidates, professional advisers, service providers, email/calendar providers, website hosting providers, or where required by law. Candidate details are only shared with clients where appropriate in the context of a search process.
International work
HF Global works across North America and EMEA. This means information may be discussed with clients or candidates outside the UK where relevant to a search. We take reasonable steps to handle information carefully and only share what is necessary.
How long we keep information
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for search, recruitment, relationship management, legal, accounting and legitimate business purposes. You can ask us to review, update or delete information we hold about you.
Your rights
You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of your personal information, and to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office. To make a request, email info@hf-global.com.
