Privacy policy

Last updated 12 October 2026. Grad Recruit Ltd, England and Wales, company number 17470399. GradRecruit.

Grad Recruit Ltd (“we”, “us”) provides GradRecruit. This policy explains what personal data we process, why, and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Grad Recruit Ltd is the data controller. We are registered in England and Wales, company number 17470399. Registered office: 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, reference ZC257858 (registered 25 September 2026, expires 24 September 2027). Contact: Contact us or hello@gradrecruit.co.uk.

The service

GradRecruit is a workspace, not a job board. Find it. Apply for it. Get it. You search live graduate roles on Radar, or add a role you already found. You run that employer’s application here. You always finish and send the form on the employer’s own site. We are not a recruitment agency and we do not make offers.

What we collect

- Account details if you register: name, email, password hash, and a mobile number if you give one for device alerts. Email is your sign-in name. We also use it for confirmation codes, and for optional news or a first-month Pro code only if you ask. - Profile you choose to save: stage, streams, locations, eligibility notes. - Accessibility choices from the Accessibility link at the bottom of the page (text size, contrast, spacing, motion, images, highlighted links). These stay in this browser only. We do not receive them and they are not tied to your account. - Application work: stories, drafts, CVs, cover letters, campaigns, shortlists, test and video practice on this device or, if you are signed in, on your account. - Device alerts and, if you allow them, a web-push subscription for this browser. - Messages you send through Contact or the careers-services form. - Email you give us for a first-month Pro offer code, the unique code we issue, and whether you later use it on Get Pro. - Anonymous usage (pages opened, time on a page, referring site, taps). Not your name, stories or answers. Turn it off in Account, settings, or the cookie policy. - Payment details are taken by Stripe if you start Pro. We do not store card numbers.

Guests keep work in this browser only. We do not require an account to browse Radar.

What we do not collect or do

- We do not sell candidate lists or “talent intelligence” to employers. - We do not submit applications for you, and we do not send your answers to employers. - Transactional email: confirmation and password codes, a welcome message, and — if you turn them on in Account — matching-role and open-window reminder emails. You can switch those alerts off at any time. - If you ask for a first-month Pro code, we email that unique code to the address you entered. We may then send a small number of emails about Pro from hello@gradrecruit.co.uk. Reply stop, or write to us, to leave that list. - Optional GradRecruit news (product updates and new windows) only if you opt in. Change that on Account. We do not buy or sell marketing lists. - Matching-role alerts also go to this device if you allow notifications. Codes expire; we never ask you to read a code out. - If you write to us through Contact, we send an acknowledgement to the address you gave and we may reply from hello@gradrecruit.co.uk. - If you register with a university or college email on a campus deal, we send a confirmation link to that inbox so we know the address is yours. - We are not paid by employers to list or promote schemes.

Why we use it (lawful bases)

- Contract — to provide the workspace you asked for: Radar, campaigns, stories, CVs, cover letters, Coach, tests, video, and Pro if you subscribe. - Legitimate interests — to keep listings accurate, keep the service secure, understand which pages are used (anonymous analytics), and improve Radar. - Consent — device notifications and web push, only after you allow them. Optional GradRecruit news emails, only if you tick that box when you register or later in Account. You can withdraw either at any time. Asking for a first-month Pro code is also consent to email that code and a short follow-up about Pro. - Legal obligation — tax and accounting records for Pro payments, handled with Stripe. We may also disclose information where the law requires it — see Who we share with.

Who we share with

We do not sell or rent your data. We use other organisations only to run the product:

  • Neon, to host signed-in accounts and campaigns in the UK / EEA.
  • Stripe, if you start Pro (they are the controller of the card details they take at checkout).
  • xAI, only if you are on Pro and tap Ask Coach — the text you choose to send is processed to generate a suggestion. Coach can make mistakes. Check responses before you rely on them or send them to an employer.
  • The browser vendor (Apple, Google or Mozilla) if you allow device notifications.

We may also share information with government, legal or regulatory authorities (for example the police, the courts, HMRC or the Information Commissioner’s Office) where there is a legislative or legal obligation to do so. We share only what that request requires.

Where it is stored

Signed-in accounts and campaigns are stored in the United Kingdom / European Economic Area on our database host (Neon Postgres). Guest work stays in your browser until you register or clear it. Stripe processes payments. Push delivery uses the browser vendor (Apple, Google or Mozilla) if you turned alerts on. If you use Ask Coach (Pro), the text you choose to send is processed by xAI to generate a suggestion. Coach can make mistakes. Check responses. See Data protection.

How long we keep it

Account and campaign data while the account is open. You can delete the account at any time in Settings. Accounts with no sign-in for 24 months are deleted automatically. Billing records we must keep for UK tax are kept for 6 years, with the user id anonymised. Anonymous analytics older than 90 days are dropped. Contact messages are kept so we can deal with the query, then removed when no longer needed. First-month offer emails and codes are kept while the offer is live and for up to 24 months, or until you ask us to delete them.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, corrections, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability. To exercise those rights, use Contact us. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
