 1. Scope of Privacy Notice

What do we mean by “Personal Data” and “Processing”

This notice explains the categories of personal data we process of individuals who are applying to work for us, the purposes of processing the data and how that may affect you. We have a separate Employee Privacy Notice that applies to our current and former employees. It will be provided to you if you receive and accept an offer from us.

This notice explains:

• what personal data we hold and why we process it;
• the legal grounds which allow us to process your personal data;
• where the data comes from, who gets to see it and how long we keep it;
• the rights you have in regards to the personal data we process and how to exercise the same; and
• how to contact us.

2. What do we mean by “Personal Data” and “Processing”

“Personal data” is information relating to you or from which you may be identified. It includes not only facts about you, but also intentions and opinions about you.

“Processing” means any operation which is performed on personal data. It includes the whole lifecycle of using the data from collecting it, holding it, disclosing it to deleting it, whether this is done manually or by automated means.

References in this notice to employment, work (and similar expressions) include any arrangement we may have under which an individual applies to provide us with work or services. By way of example, when we mention an “employment application”, that includes an application to become engaged as a freelancer.  We use the word “you” to refer to anyone within the scope of the notice.

3. What are the grounds for processing?

Under data protection law, there are various grounds on which we can rely when processing your personal data. In some contexts, more than one ground applies. We have summarised these grounds as Contract, Legal Obligation, Legitimate Interests, Consent and Vital and Public Interest and outline what those terms mean in the following table. Where processing is based on a legal or contractual requirement or is necessary to enter a contract providing the data is required for us to be able to fulfil our obligations and exercise our rights. Failing to provide the requested information, may result into us not being able to proceed with the recruitment process.

Term	Ground for processing	Explanation
Contract	Processing necessary for performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request to enter a contract.	This covers preparation of a contract, carrying out our contractual duties and exercising our contractual rights and obligations.
Legal Obligation	Processing necessary to comply with our legal obligations.	Ensuring we perform our legal and regulatory obligations.  For example, providing a safe place of work and avoiding unlawful discrimination.
Legitimate Interests	Processing necessary for our or a third party’s legitimate interests.	We or a third party have legitimate interests in carrying on, managing and administering our respective businesses effectively and properly and in connection with those interests processing your personal data. Your data will not be processed on this basis if our or a third party’s interests are overridden by your own interests, rights and freedoms.
Consent	You have given specific consent to processing of your data.	In general processing of your data in connection with employment is not conditional on your consent.  However, there may be occasions where we do specific things such as request a reference and rely on your consent to our doing so.
Vital Interest	The processing is necessary in order to protect your or another person’s vital interests.	This refers to emergency situations, where we cannot acquire consent or use another legal basis and are required to use your data. It is extremely rare for this basis to be used.
Public Interest	Processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest.	This legal ground refers to any situation affecting the rights, health, or finances of the public at large.

4. Processing special category personal data

Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, health, sexual orientation, sex life, trade union membership and genetic and biometric data are subject to stricter controls and security measures and considered by EU privacy law to be “special category personal data”.

If we process special personal data about you, we will make sure that one or more of the additional legal grounds for processing special personal data applies. To outline, these include:

• Processing being necessary for the purposes of your or our obligations and rights in relation to employment in so far as it is authorised by law;
• Processing being necessary for the purpose of establishing, making or defending legal claims; and
• Processing for equality and diversity purposes to the extent permitted by law.
