Please note that if you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application(such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully.

We also receive personal information indirectly, from the following sources in the following scenarios:

We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes.

6. How we store your personal information
Your information is securely stored. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to- know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
We keep your personal information related to our recruitment process/your application for a period of 12 months from the date of your application. We retain your personal information for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way. However:
- If we wish to retain your personal information on file for a longer period, on the basis that a further opportunity may arise in future and we may wish to consider you for, we will write to you separately, seeking your explicit consent to retain your personal information for a fixed period on that basis.
- If you are successful in your application, we will retain the majority of the categories of personal data set out above for the duration of your working relationship with us and for a reasonable period of time after its termination as described in our Employee Privacy Notice which will be made available to you once you become an employee.
Once we no longer require your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely dispose of your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
If we anonymise your personal information so that you can no longer be identified from it, it is no longer considered personal information and we may use such information without providing any further notice to you.
