WeCor (the Firm, we, us, our) is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

WeCor is an executive search and advisory firm with offices globally. We act as a data controller in respect of personal data processed in connection with our services. For questions about this policy, contact us at: hello@wecor.agency.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data: contact details (name, email address, phone number, postal address); professional information (current and previous roles, employer, career history, qualifications); identification documents where required by law; communications you send to us; and information collected automatically when you visit our website, including IP addresses and browser data.

3. How We Use Your Data

3a. We use your personal data to provide executive search and advisory services, including candidate sourcing, assessment, and placement; to respond to enquiries and manage our client relationships; to send relevant communications, market updates, and insight reports; and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

3b. We will not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your prior consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request; compliance with a legal obligation; our legitimate business interests in operating and improving our services, where these are not overridden by your rights; and, where applicable, your explicit consent.

5. Sharing Your Data

We may share your personal data with prospective client organisations as part of a search engagement (with your knowledge), trusted third-party service providers who support our operations under confidentiality obligations, professional advisors including lawyers and accountants, and regulatory bodies where required by law. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

6. International Transfers

Where we transfer personal data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the relevant supervisory authority, or by transferring to countries with an adequacy decision.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Candidate data is typically retained for five (5) years following the conclusion of a search engagement, after which it is securely deleted unless you consent to longer retention.

8. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request erasure of your data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing; object to processing based on legitimate interests; request restriction of processing; and data portability.
