Overview

Xeebuild is committed to protecting your personal data and processing it fairly, transparently and lawfully in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable Irish data-protection and ePrivacy legislation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share and protect personal data when you use our website, register as a skilled worker, apply for work, contact us or engage with our construction recruitment and labour-supply services.

1. When Does This Privacy Policy Apply?

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected from skilled workers, job seekers, construction clients, website visitors, applicants and other individuals who interact with Xeebuild through our website or services. We collect and use personal data only for legitimate and clearly defined purposes, including recruitment, worker placement, client services, communication, administration and legal compliance.

2. What Personal Data Do We Collect and Why?

Depending on your relationship with Xeebuild, we may collect information such as your name, contact details, address, employment history, skills, qualifications, certifications, availability, references and other information required to assess your suitability for construction opportunities. We may also collect information necessary to verify your identity, right to work, qualifications or professional requirements where this is lawful and reasonably necessary for our services.

3. What Is Our Lawful Basis for Processing Your Data?

Xeebuild processes personal data only where there is a lawful basis under GDPR, including where processing is necessary to perform a contract, take steps at your request before entering into a contract, comply with a legal obligation, pursue our legitimate interests, or where you have provided consent. Where we rely on legitimate interests or consent, we will ensure that processing is appropriate, proportionate and consistent with your rights under applicable data-protection law.

4. Who Do We Share Your Personal Data With?

Where necessary and lawful, we may share relevant information with construction clients to assess your suitability for work, arrange placements and provide our labour-supply services. We may also share information with trusted service providers supporting our IT, recruitment, communications, hosting, accounting and administrative operations, and with public authorities or other parties where required or permitted by law. We do not sell your personal data and require our service providers to maintain appropriate confidentiality, security and data-protection standards.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including recruitment, worker management, client services, contractual obligations and legal requirements. When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete, destroy or anonymise it in accordance with our retention procedures and applicable law.

6. How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

Xeebuild maintains appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. Access to personal data is limited to authorised personnel and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes and are subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

7. Do We Transfer Personal Data Outside the EEA?

Where our approved service providers process personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Xeebuild will ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and suitable safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR. These safeguards may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable data-protection law.

8. Cookies, Marketing and External Websites

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies in accordance with applicable Irish ePrivacy requirements. Where consent is legally required, we will obtain it before using non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, and you may manage or withdraw your consent where applicable. We may send relevant communications about job opportunities, recruitment services or other services where legally permitted. You may opt out of direct marketing communications at any time. Our website may contain links to third-party websites that operate independently of Xeebuild. You should review the privacy notices of those websites before providing them with your personal information, as Xeebuild is not responsible for their privacy practices, security or content.

9. What Are Your Data Protection Rights?

Subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, object to certain processing, withdraw consent and request data portability. Where applicable, you may also have rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling, including the right to request human intervention in certain circumstances. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may request information necessary to verify your identity before processing your request. We will normally respond within one month, subject to any lawful extension permitted under GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (DPC) if you believe your data-protection rights have been infringed.

10. Special Categories, Automated Processing and Contact

Xeebuild will only process special-category personal data, such as health information, where a lawful basis and an applicable additional condition under GDPR permit us to do so, and we will limit such processing to what is necessary and proportionate. We do not intend to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing unless permitted by law and appropriate safeguards are provided.
