Data Collection
To provide our clients with executive search services, Dore Partnership processes personal data relating to individuals which may include but not limited to full name, address, email, phone number, educational history, job history, compensation details and a record of contact between Dore Partnership and the Data Subject. The only data that may be collected of which is considered Sensitive Personal Data by the ICO is a data subject’s race or ethnic origin. Sensitive Personal Data will be only processed with the explicit consent of the Data Subject. We collect personal data directly from the data subject, publicly available sources and the data subject’s peers in the market.

Data Storage
We take appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect PII from theft, other loss, misuse, and any unauthorized access, copying, collection, use, disclosure, alteration, forgery, destruction or technical errors. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the PII submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Personal Data is maintained across our database and enterprise file storage and collaboration software, both of which are only accessible by Dore Partnership employees via a username and password.
