Data Retention

We will retain your personal information in accordance with our Data and Document Retention Policy.

Rights of Access, Correction, Erasure and Restriction

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 the Data Protection Dept in writing, whose details are provided at the beginning of this notice.

How We Use Particularly Sensitive Personal Information

• Medical issues that we should be aware of which may affect the safety of you or others, or which may affect how we respond to an emergency;
• Whether you present a risk due to an impairment through drugs or alcohol;
• We may also be required to 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. In particular if:
• we are legally required by a regulatory body to carry out criminal record checks in connection with a contract or service that you are working on;
