Privacy notice

Last updated 24 April 2026.

This notice explains what personal data Candidate Kit collects when you register interest via candidatekit.uk, why we collect it, and your rights under UK GDPR.

Who we are

Candidate Kit is operated by Elastic Mint Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 11288579, registered office: 14a Forest Gate, Pewsham, Chippenham SN15 3RS), the data controller for the purposes of UK GDPR. You can contact us at hello@candidatekit.uk.

What we collect

When you register interest we collect:

• The email address you supply.
• The fact that you actively consented to marketing contact.
• Your IP address and browser user-agent string, as an audit trail for the consent record.
• The date and time the consent was given.

Lawful basis

We rely on your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and PECR regulation 22) as the lawful basis for storing your email address and contacting you. The consent checkbox on the registration form is unticked by default and must be actively ticked to submit the form.

Purpose

We will use your email address solely to contact you about Candidate Kit becoming available, including sending you an invite code when a place opens up. We will not share your email with third parties, use it for any other marketing, or pass it to any advertising network.

Retention

We keep your interest registration until whichever comes first: you accept an invite and create an account (at which point the registration is superseded by the account record), you ask us to delete it, or twelve months from the date you registered.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectify inaccurate data.
• Erase your data (sometimes called the "right to be forgotten").
• Withdraw your consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@candidatekit.uk with "Privacy request" in the subject line. We will respond within one month.

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
