Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

1st Logistics is an Amazon Delivery Service Partner operating in Gloucester and Gloucestershire. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through this website (1stlogistics.co.uk).

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at Contact@1stLogistics.co.uk.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect personal data in the following circumstances:

Driver Job Applications

When you submit an application via our Join Us page, we collect:

• Full name, email address, and phone number
• Location (town or city)
• Eligibility information: age confirmation, right to work in the UK, driving licence status and years held, penalty points
• Delivery experience and any additional message you provide
• Your consent to data processing

Website Usage

We may collect anonymised technical data about how you use our website (such as pages visited and browser type) only where you have consented to analytics cookies. No analytics data is collected without your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data you provide to:

• Process and assess your driver job application
• Contact you regarding your application status
• Manage our internal recruitment and onboarding process
• Comply with our legal obligations (e.g. right-to-work checks)
• Send internal notifications to our recruitment team via Slack

We do not use your data for marketing purposes, and we do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

• Consent — you explicitly agree to us processing your data when you submit your application and tick the consent checkbox.
• Legitimate interests — managing our recruitment pipeline and communicating with applicants about their applications.
• Legal obligation — verifying your right to work in the UK as required by law.

5. Data Retention

We retain job application data for up to 12 months from the date of submission. If your application is successful and you are onboarded as a driver, your data will be retained for the duration of your engagement with us and for a further period as required by employment law.

Unsuccessful applications are deleted after 12 months unless you request earlier deletion.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

Your data may be shared with the following parties solely for the purposes described above:

• Amazon — as our DSP partner, Amazon may require certain information about drivers as part of the onboarding process.
• Slack Technologies — our internal team receives application notifications via Slack. Only your name and application outcome are included in these notifications.
• GoDaddy / Airo — our website and application data are hosted on GoDaddy's infrastructure.

All third parties are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses a cookie consent mechanism. We only set non-essential cookies (such as analytics) if you explicitly accept them via the cookie banner.

If you accept analytics cookies, we may use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our recruitment advertising. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining on your next visit.

Essential cookies (required for the site to function) are set regardless of your preference.

8. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure — request that we delete your data, subject to legal obligations.
• Right to restrict processing — ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent — withdraw your consent to processing at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at Contact@1stLogistics.co.uk. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Our application data is stored in a secure database accessible only to authorised 1st Logistics staff via password-protected admin accounts.

10. International Transfers

Your data is primarily stored and processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. Where data is transferred outside these areas (for example, via Slack's infrastructure), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR.
