Privacy Notice
Curo Resourcing Ltd is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This is underlined by our commitment to integrity, care and respect for your data. Our Privacy Notice answers who, what, why, when, where and how we treat your personal information.
Online activity refers to any electronic communication or engagement (such as visiting our website), offline activity refers to non-electronic (such as visiting our exhibition stand).
Who has access to your data
Your personal data will only be available to Curo Resourcing Ltd (or ‘Curo’, ‘we’, ‘our’, ‘us’) staff that have authority and need access to it for the performance of their work. In addition, we select data processors who provide sufficient technical and organisational security.
What information do we collect?
Online we may collect, store and process the following kinds of personal data:
- Information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website including your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views;
- Information relating to any transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website;
- Information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us e.g. your email address and other personal information when you sign up;

Why we use ‘consent’ and ‘legitimate interest’
In some circumstances, Curo may rely on ‘Legitimate Interest’ for marketing – which eliminates the need for consent. We have completed Legitimate Interest Assessments for online and offline activity, balancing our right to process personal data against customers’ rights to privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation 2016 states:
“Processing will be lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third-party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.”
In other circumstances, we may ask for marketing consent at the point of contact or rely on a contract to communicate with you. We will ensure consent is freely given, specific, informed, in plain English and agreed by affirmative action. You can withdraw consent at any time.
When do we delete your data
We perform a ‘cull’ of redundant personal data every year. We remove records that have not been updated for 7 years. However, you can ask for your personal data to be removed sooner by making a Right to Erasure request.
Where is your data stored and processed?
We store and process your data on secure servers that are based in the United Kingdom.
How do we use your personal data?
Personal data obtained online will be used for the purposes specified at the point of contact. We may use your personal information to:
