Additional Information for Applicants
The purpose of this Applicant Privacy Notice is to inform you about the types of information that we gather about you when you are applying for a job or submit an application to us for recruitment purposes, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, that information.
How do we use this information?
We use information you supply in support of your application so that we can consider your application, assess your suitability and conduct eligibility checks (with your consent) where necessary.
We use your data for the purpose of our legitimate interests in managing our recruitment and so that we can take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. Any information we ask you to supply in relation to past criminal offences will be held by us only in accordance with your consent (unless the supply of this information is required by law because of the nature of the role you are applying for). If a position that is, or may be, of interest to you requires background checks, we will tell you about this.
Where necessary, we will also use this data for the purpose of our legitimate interests in accessing appropriate professional advice and in order to ensure we comply with legal obligations to which our business is subject.
When you apply for a position with us or submit information in support of your application, including where we use psychometric testing when considering your application, we will tell you whether the information we are requesting is essential so that we can progress your application or whether the supply of this information is optional.
We may use automated decision making to support our recruitment process, for example psychometric testing. If you would like to know more about this or would like to ask for a review of our automated decision-making, please contact us using the details below.
With the exception of personal data which we collect and use for the purpose of entering into a contract with you, you can object to our use of the data you have provided at any time.
How long do we keep this information for?
We usually retain information supplied by job applicants for no longer than 9-12 months following a relevant recruitment decision. If your application is unsuccessful, we may decide to retain your details for longer if we think you may be suitable for another position that may arise within the business in the future. If we do this we will let you know about this so that you can opt out if you want to.
If your application is successful, relevant information will be used for the purpose of administering your subsequent employment and will be retained and used in accordance with our Employee Privacy Policy, a copy of which will be provided when you take up your employment.
Who do we share this information with?
Where necessary so that we can manage our recruitment process, we will share your information with our service providers and professional advisers (e.g. recruitment agencies, providers who carry out background checks on our behalf, and, if applicable to the role you are applying for, suppliers who run candidate assessment programmes for us).
- i. We will also contact third parties whose details you have supplied so that we can verify information you have supplied in relation to your previous employment and qualifications.
Otherwise we will not share your information with any third party unless:
- • We have your permission (for example in order to share your details with another Group company for their recruitment purposes or for the provision of payroll services);
- • We are required to do so by law;
- • This is necessary so that we can enforce our terms of use, rights or property or the rights or property of any third party; or
- • This is necessary in connection with the sale of our business or its assets (in which case your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s advisers and will be passed to the new owners).
Where do we transfer this information to?
Any information you send us in support of your employment application is stored within, and not transferred outside of, the European Economic Area. However, should this change in the future, we will ensure that any information you send us in support of your employment application is held by our service provider(s) on secure servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In doing so, we will protect your privacy by entering into EU approved contractual clauses with service providers operating outside the EEA or by ensuring our service provider(s) are registered with the [EU-US Privacy Shield.]. If you require further information about these safeguards, please contact us using the details below.
Your rights
You have the right to ask us at any time for a copy of your personal data. In relation to personal data you supply to us electronically, and which is held by us for the purpose of entering into a contract between us or on the basis of your consent, you are entitled to ask us for a copy of this information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format so that you can reuse it or share it with other organisations.
If you think the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it or complete it.
In some circumstances you also have the right to object to our processing of your data and can ask us to restrict our use of your data and to delete it. There are some exceptions to these rights. For example, it will not be possible for us to delete your data if we are required by law to keep it or if we hold it in connection with a contract with you. Similarly, access to your data may be refused if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights please contact us using the details below.
