• Communicate with you about the recruitment process.
• Keep records related to our hiring processes.
• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
• Communicate with you about future opportunities, where you have expressly opted-in, in accordance with your preferences

We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment with you.

 

At the point of registering your interest in a role with Tulip, we will ask you to expressly consent to receiving notifications about future opportunities that we may wish to consider you for.

• We will use information about your race or national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual life or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.

   

  We process the above information in order to comply with our obligations as an employer.

   

Information about criminal convictions

 

We will collect information about your criminal conviction history in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which would make you unsuitable for the role.  We will only use information relating to criminal convictions where the law allows us to do so.

 

Data sharing

 

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?

 

We will share your personal information with Networx for the purpose of processing your application.

 

We may also share your personal information with legal advisers, occupational health providers and with Pilgrim's parent company, Pilgrim's Pride.

 

All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

 

Data security

 

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.

 

Data retention

 

How long will you use my information for?

 

We will retain your personal information for a period of 13 months after we have communicated to you our decision about whether to appoint you to the role or to undertake the work. 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. After this period, we will anonymise your personal information and securely store such information for statistical purposes only.

 

Rights of access, correction, erasure, and restriction

 

Your rights in connection with personal information

 

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

 

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

   

• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

   

• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

   

• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

   

• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

   

• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

 

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact recruitmentdata@pilgrimsuk.com

 

Right to withdraw consent

 

You have the right to withdraw your consent for processing of your personal data at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact recruitmentdata@pilgrimsuk.com

 

Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your application and we will dispose of your personal data securely, unless we are permitted or required by law or regulatory requirements to process your personal data without your knowledge or consent.  In such a case, we will not process more personal data than is required under the circumstances.

We use some automated screening tools as part of this application process. The answers you provide to one or more of the questions (excluding any special categories/equal opportunity questions) may result in your application being automatically declined. This technology is used to help us manage the high volume of applications we receive and can assure applicants the same outcome would occur if we manually reviewed your application. The reason for the decline will be made available to you in your candidate account.
