This is so we can check the information you’ve provided to us is accurate, assess your suitability for the role (e.g. whether you have had a CCJ) and prevent criminal activity and financial crime, including fraud and money laundering.

Processing is necessary to perform our contract with you
In order to enter into a contract with you and to comply with our legal obligations, we will process your personal information:
• During all stages relevant to assessing and managing your application during the recruitment process;
• To administer our governance requirements such as internal reporting and compliance obligations;
• To carry out identity checks, anti-money laundering checks, and checks with Fraud and Financial Crime Prevention Agencies;
• To process information about a crime or offence and proceedings related to that; and
• To deal with requests from you to exercise your rights under data protection laws.
Legitimate interests
The UK’s data protection laws allow the use of personal data where its purpose is legitimate and isn’t outweighed by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms as a data subject.
We will use your personal information:
• to carry out monitoring and to keep records;
• for management and audit of our recruitment systems and processes in seeking to appoint talent to our workforce; and
• for analysis and developing statistics.
Processing with your consent
• when you request that we share your personal information with someone else and you consent to that; and
• when we process special category data such as information about your health.
Processing for a substantial public interest under laws that apply to us where this helps us to meet our broader social obligations such as:
• processing special category data such as information about your health; and
• processing that we need to do to fulfil our legal obligations and regulatory requirements.
 

10 SPECIAL CATEGORY DATA
10.1 Special category data includes information such as an individual’s race, ethnic origin, politics, religion, trade union membership, health or sexual orientation.
10.2 We will use information about your race or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.

11.5 We may ask you to provide physical forms of identity verification when you apply for a position. Alternatively, we may search credit reference agency files in assessing your application, including searches on any past or other names used by you and searches on addresses where you have lived for the past five years. The agency also gives us other details and information from the Electoral Register to verify your identity. The agency keeps a record of our search, whether or not your application proceeds. Our search is not seen or used by lenders to assess your ability to obtain credit, although it may be used for debt tracing and to prevent money laundering.
11.6 The data we exchange with credit reference agencies can include the following categories:
• Personal
• Contact
• Financial & Pre-Employment
 

12 HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA
