Privacy notice
How Roy Talman & Associates collects and uses personal information about the people we contact, the people who write to us, and visitors to this website.
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Who we are
Roy Talman & Associates, Inc. is an executive search firm based in the United States. If you have questions about this notice, write to info@roytalman.com.
What we hold and why
We keep professional information about people who may suit roles we are filling: what is public (such as job history and education), what you tell us, suggestions from colleagues who know your work, and our notes of our contact with you. We use it to tell you about relevant roles and to keep in touch over the years, which is our legitimate interest as a search firm. We present you to a client only with your agreement, for a specific role. We do not ask for sensitive information such as health or religion.
Software and AI
Our software, including AI tools, helps us find people who may fit a role and draft messages. A recruiter reviews every result and makes every decision; nothing about you is decided by software alone.
Who sees it
We share your information with a client only after you agree. The companies that run our email, database, AI tools and website handle it under contracts that protect your information. We disclose it to authorities only where the law requires. We never sell personal information. Your information may be held in the United States; transfers from the UK and EU use the legal safeguards the law provides.
How long we keep it, and your rights
We keep information while it is useful for future roles and review our records regularly. You can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, delete it, restrict its use or give you a copy, and you can object to our use of it or ask us to stop contacting you at any time. If you ask us to stop, we stop for good and keep only a note so that we never contact you again. Write to info@roytalman.com; we reply within a month. You may also complain to a data protection authority: in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office; in the EU, the authority where you live or work.
