This notice explains how Cellora collects, uses and protects your personal information.
Last Updated: September 2026
Who we are
Cellora provides recruitment services across healthcare, biomedical science, pathology and life sciences. When we collect and use your personal information for recruitment purposes, Cellora acts as the data controller.

1. Information We May Collect
We may collect information including your name, contact details, location, CV, employment history, qualifications, professional registration, skills, salary expectations, job preferences and other information you provide when registering or when applying for a role. Where relevant to a particular vacancy, we may also process information relating to right to work, references or other recruitment checks. We will only request information that is appropriate and necessary for the recruitment process.
2. Where We Get Your Information
We may receive personal information directly from you when you register, apply for a role or contact us. We may also obtain professional information from publicly available or recruitment-related sources where appropriate, such as professional networking platforms, job boards or referrals.
We may use your information to:
- assess your suitability for roles
- contact you about relevant opportunities
- understand your career preferences
- introduce you to prospective employers where appropriate
- manage applications and recruitment processes
- verify relevant qualifications or professional registration where necessary
- maintain recruitment records
- comply with legal and regulatory requirements
3. How We Use Your Information
4. Our Lawful Bases
Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information because it's necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, or because we have a legitimate interest in operating and providing our recruitment services. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interests, those interests include operating our recruitment business, identifying appropriate candidates and providing recruitment services to candidates and employers
7. Your Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, and in some circumstances receive your information in a portable format. If we rely on consent, this can be withdrawn at any time.
5. Sharing Your Information
We may share relevant personal information with prospective employers where this is necessary for a recruitment process. We may also use service providers that support our website, CRM, email, IT or business operations.
We will not send your CV or identifiable candidate profile to a prospective employer without an appropriate recruitment purpose and without being transparent with you about that use.
8. Complaints
If you have any questions or concerns about how we use your information, contact:
hello@cellorarecruitment.co.uk
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
6. How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep candidate information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for recruitment purposes, legal obligations and the establishment or defence of legal claims. We review candidate records periodically and delete or anonymise information when there is no longer a legitimate reason to retain it.
9. Special Category Information
Where it is necessary, and lawful to do so, we may process certain more sensitive personal information, such as health or equality-related information. We will only process this where an appropriate legal condition applies and where it is relevant to the recruitment process.
9. Changes To This Notice
We may update this Candidate Privacy Notice from time to time. The latest version will be published on our website.
For any questions regarding this notice or your data rights, please contact our dedicated privacy team at privacy@cellora.com. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and transparency in all our recruitment activities.
