How do we intend to use your personal data?

To provide a service: We may contact you for reasons relating to the service you have made a request for.

We would use your contact details to manage this and may retain them for marketing purposes.

If you are interested in working for us we will only use your personal data to process your application, monitor recruitment and provide statistics. Personal data about unsuccessful candidates will be retained for six months after the recruitment process is completed, at which point it will be disposed of securely.

  • We ask you and you say we can share it.
  • The law says we have to report some things, such as people being perceived to be
  • at risk or harm, including children or vulnerable adults who may be at risk. This may also include our legal obligations to report to HMRC.

We may also use a third party service for the distribution of our email newsletters. If you sign up to receive this, we will store your email address with this service.

In exceptional circumstances such as dealing with fraud, credit risk, dealing with abusive online behaviour, to enforce rights, to protect property, to protect human safety or if the law requires it.
