Our Data Protection Philosophy

We’re committed to protecting your privacy and aim to treat your data only in ways you’d expect. At all times we aim to respect any personal data you share with us, or that we receive from other organisations, and keep it safe. When we use third parties to help us deliver our services and products, we take care to ensure those third parties are equally committed to safeguarding your privacy.

We aim at all times to promote a positive culture around data protection and security. Our policies and processes are under constant review.

Where you apply for a job opening via the application function on a job site or similar online service provider (“Partner”), you should note that the relevant Partner may retain your personal data and may also collect data from us regarding the progress of your application. Any use by the Partner of your data will be in accordance with the Partner’s privacy notices or policies.

Information we collect as a Data Controller

We collect certain personal information in our capacity as a Data Controller, in order to run our business. We collect information when you contact us or apply for a position with us.

This includes any information that you have provided via an online job site, email, in person at interview and/or by any other method. We may keep a record of any correspondence when you get in touch with us.

We process personal details including name, email address, qualifications, your employment history and the skills and experience that you provide with your application. A record will be held of your progress through the hiring process.

Purpose: We use this information as part of our recruitment process:

  • To consider your application in respect of a role that you have applied for;
  • To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process;
  • To consider your application in respect of other roles;
  • To enhance any information that we receive from you with information obtained from third party data providers;
  • To find appropriate candidates to fill vacancies;
  • Where you apply for a job opening posted by us, this privacy notice will apply to our processing of your personal information.

Lawful basis for processing: “Contract”. This processing is necessary for us to take the required steps to enter into an employment contract with successful applicants.

Disclosure of your Information

Where you have applied for a job opening through the Indeed Apply functionality, and where you have consented to this disclosure, We will disclose to Indeed certain personal data that We hold, including but not limited to a unique identifier used by Indeed to identify you, and information about your progress through our hiring process for the applicable job opening, as well as tangible, intangible, visual, electronic, present, or future information that we hold about you, such as your name, contact details and other information involving analysis of data relating to you as an applicant for employment (collectively “Disposition Data”). Indeed’s Privacy Notice in respect of Indeed’s use of the Disposition Data is available on Indeed’s website.

Where you have applied to a job opening through another service provider, we may disclose data similar to the Disposition Data defined above to such service provider. The service provider shall be the data controller of this data and shall therefore be responsible for complying with all applicable law in respect of the use of that data following its transfer by Us.

Storage of your Personal Data

Information held by us about you will be held on our secure servers within the EEA or in our locked filing cabinet in our office.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that all personal data is kept secure including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where We are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data at all times, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.

We will hold your data for a period of up to six months.

Your personal information will be deleted if you submit a written request to us to delete your data.
