· Keep records related to our hiring processes.

· Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

Once we receive your CV and other material, we will then process that data to decide whether to shortlist you for the role. If we do, we may invite you for an interview. Data you provide to us at the interview will help us to decide whether to offer you the role. If we decide to offer you the role, it will be conditional on pre-employment checks, including criminal records checks, being satisfactory.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE YOUR DATA

If you fail to provide data when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check or references for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

During the recruitment process, we do not anticipate sharing data with any third party, other than to check your qualifications and work history, check criminal records and credit checking services, your references, and any recruitment agency that has contacted us on your behalf. If we need to share your personal data with any other third party we will contact you to discuss.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a defined need-to-know.

We will retain your personal data for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have recruited in a fair and transparent way. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable laws and regulations.

YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal data, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal data to another party, please contact the DPO. We will respond to your request within 30 days, and where we are by law unable to complete your request in full, we will explain this to you.
