We may receive your personal data from a third party who recommends you as a candidate for a specific job opening or for our business more generally.

Lawful basis for processing

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are the recruitment of staff for our business or our partner organisations.

Where you apply for a job opening through a third party job site, we rely on your consent, which is freely given by you during the application process, to disclose your personal data to that third party

Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.
  • To consider your application in respect of other roles.
  • To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process.

  • To find appropriate candidates to fill our job openings.

Disclosure of Your Information

As set out above, we may pass your information to our partner organisations, including WayPal, who use it only in accordance with our instructions and as otherwise required by law.

Security

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.
