• Documentation confirming your right to work in the UK – if you don’t provide this, we may not be able to enter into a contract with you.

• Health professionals and occupational health providers involved in your care, for the purposes of establishing whether you can undergo an assessment which forms part of the application process; [and/or] considering reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for disabled applicants[; establishing whether you will be able to carry out a function that is intrinsic to the particular work; establishing whether you are eligible for our guaranteed interview scheme for disabled applicants; and / or assessing your fitness to work if you have accepted an offer of work from us that is subject to health checks].

• Our professional advisors.

• Deletion: you can ask us to delete your personal information, if:

o it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we obtained it;

• Objection: if we process your personal information to perform tasks carried out in the public interest or on the basis of legitimate interests, you can object to this processing on the basis of your particular situation. We will only then continue the processing if we have overriding legitimate grounds for this, or the processing is to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. You may also object if we process your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

• Restriction: you can ask us to restrict our processing of your personal information if:

o you contest the accuracy of the data (for a period that enables us to check it);

o our processing is unlawful, but you don’t want the data deleted;

o we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

o you have objected (as above) and are awaiting confirmation as to whether we have overriding legitimate grounds for processing.

• Transfer: if our processing is based on your consent or necessary to carry out our contract with you, and is carried out by automated means, you can request a copy of the personal information you have provided to us and the transfer of this to someone else. Where technically feasible, you can ask us to transfer it directly.

• Complain to the Information Commissioner: the Information Commissioner is the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues. We aim to resolve all complaints internally via our data protection officer who can be contacted as described above, but you do have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner at any time.

Please contact our HR department if you require more information on these rights, or wish to exercise any of them.
