Why does the organisation process personal data?
The organisation needs to process data for a variety of reasons:
- to enter into an employment contract

for defence against potential legal claims - for the necessary performance of a contract or to enter into a contract
necessary for compliance with a legal obligation - necessary for the legitimate interests of the organisation. Where the organisation relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of individuals and has concluded that they are not.
Who has access to data?
Your information will be shared internally, including with members of the HR and recruitment team, managers in the business area applicable to the data and Finance and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for performance of their roles.
The organisation may share the data with third parties in the context of carrying out our due business process such as HR, Finance and IT matters. In those circumstances the data will be subject to confidentiality arrangements.
The organisation will not transfer your data to countries outside the European Economic Area.
How does the organisation protect data?
The organisation takes the security of your data seriously. The organisation has internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties.
Where the organisation engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data.
For how long does the organisation keep data?
The organisation will hold personal data for the necessary duration to fulfill its business needs and obligations. The periods for which your data is held are set out in the Data Register available from the person named in the Contact Us section of this policy.
