Pilot-interest privacy

Privacy notice.

How LabLocum handles early stakeholder research and pilot-interest submissions.

LabLocum is currently in development. This notice covers the limited pilot-interest data submitted through the public website. It does not cover future professional profiles, document uploads, compliance verification, employment workflows, or operational staffing services, because those features are not live.

Who is responsible for this data?

LabLocum is the project responsible for pilot-interest information submitted through this website. Contact: hello@lablocum.com.

What information is collected?

The pilot-interest form collects basic contact and stakeholder research information only:

  • name and email address
  • stakeholder type and UK region
  • optional organisation and role/job title
  • optional broad discipline or area of interest
  • optional broad representation status
  • optional main reason for interest and short message
  • consent confirmation, timestamp, browser user-agent, and an IP hash for basic abuse protection

Why is it used?

LabLocum uses this information only to assess early pilot interest, understand stakeholder groups, prioritise research conversations, and contact relevant stakeholders about the LabLocum pilot.

The current lawful basis is consent for pilot contact and legitimate interests for basic security, abuse prevention, and minimal operational record keeping. This basis must be reviewed before any wider outreach, profile collection, or operational workflow.

What should not be submitted?

Do not submit sensitive or compliance-heavy information through the public form. LabLocum is not collecting:

  • DBS information or criminal-offence data
  • occupational health, vaccination, or medical information
  • passport, right-to-work, or identity documents
  • certificates, CVs, references, or compliance documents
  • patient information
  • HCPC numbers or exact hourly rates

How long is pilot-interest data kept?

Pilot-interest records are intended to be reviewed and retained for up to 12 months from submission unless deletion is requested earlier or a new privacy notice is provided before a more formal pilot begins.

Who is it shared with?

Submissions are not published, sold, or exposed publicly. They may be reviewed internally for LabLocum pilot validation. If external professional advisers need to review aggregated findings, personal details should be removed unless there is a clear reason and appropriate safeguards are in place.

How is it protected?

Submissions are transmitted over HTTPS and stored outside the public web directory. Production pilot-interest records are encrypted at rest. The public website does not expose a submission-viewing endpoint.

Your rights

You can ask LabLocum to provide, correct, or delete your pilot-interest submission by contacting hello@lablocum.com. If you are in the UK and have concerns about how personal data is handled, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Future platform features

Professional profiles, compliance metadata, document uploads, employer notes, matching, dashboards, and operational staffing workflows would require a separate privacy notice, DPIA, access-control model, retention policy, and legal review before launch.
