It provides you with certain information that must be provided under the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR).
Please note that we may not necessarily hold, use or share all of the types of personal data described in this Privacy Notice in relation to you, the specific types of data about you that we will hold, use and share will depend on the role for which you are applying, the nature of the recruitment process, how far you progress in the recruitment process and your individual circumstances.

We will use the personal information we collect about you to:
It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you to the role since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint someone to that role.
We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment with you and, in some instances, to comply with a legal obligation e.g. the obligation not to discriminate during our recruitment process, or the obligation not to employ someone who does not have the legal right to work in the UK.
Having received your application form and/or CV, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the role. If we decide to offer you the role, we will then take up references and (if necessary) carry out a criminal record check before confirming your appointment.
If you fail to provide personal informationIf 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.

We may process information about criminal convictions where we are legally authorised to do so and in compliance with our Criminal Records Information Policy.
We will collect information about your criminal convictions history if we would like to offer you the role (conditional on checks and any other conditions, such as references, being satisfactory). We will carry out a criminal records check in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role.
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
We may share your personal data that is relevant, where appropriate, with our group company to enable them to input into the recruitment process and approve final recruitment decisions.

Overseas transfer of personal dataAn overseas transfer of personal data takes place when the data is transmitted or sent to, viewed, accessed or otherwise used in, a different country. Data Protection law restricts transfers of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) because the law in those countries might not provide the same level of protection to personal data as the law in the EEA. To ensure that the level of protection afforded to personal data is not compromised, therefore, we are only able to transfer your personal data outside the EEA if certain conditions are met, as explained below.
We may transfer your personal data to the USA.
We have put in place the following appropriate measures to ensure that any personal data transferred outside the EEA (for instance, to the USA) is treated in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EEA and UK laws on data protection and receives an adequate level of protection:
