Welcome to the Wightman and Parrish recruitment privacy notice.
Wightman and Parrish respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This notice explains what personal data (information) we will hold about you, how we collect it, and how we will use and may share information about you during the application process. We are required to notify you of this information, under data protection legislation. Please ensure that you read this notice (sometimes referred to as a ‘privacy notice’) and any other similar notice we may provide to you from time to time when we collect or process personal information about you.
Wightman and Parrish Ltd is a ‘data controller’ and gathers and uses certain information about you and so, in this notice, references to ‘we’ or ‘us’ means Wightman and Parrish Ltd
We will comply with the data protection principles when gathering and using personal information, as set out in our data protection (employment) policy.
The table set out in Part A of the Schedule below summarises the information we collect and hold up to and including the shortlisting stage of the recruitment process, how and why we do so, how we use it and with whom it may be shared.
The table in Part B of the Schedule below summarises the additional information we collect before making a final decision to recruit, ie before making an offer of employment unconditional, how and why we do so, how we use it and with whom it may be shared.
We seek to ensure that our information collection and processing is always proportionate. We will notify you of any changes to information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.
Information may be held at our offices and third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above.
We keep the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. How long we keep your information will depend on whether your application is successful and you become employed by us, the nature of the information concerned and the purposes for which it is processed.
We will keep recruitment information (including interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable, taking into account the limitation periods for potential claims such as race or sex discrimination (as extended to take account of early conciliation), after which they will be destroyed. If there is a clear business reason for keeping recruitment records for longer than the recruitment period, we may do so but will first consider whether the records can be pseudonymised, and the longer period for which they will be kept.
If your application is successful, we will keep only the recruitment information that is necessary in relation to your employment. For further information, see our data protection privacy notice (employment).
Further details on our approach to information retention and destruction are available in our data protection privacy notice (employment).
Please contact HR Manager at privacy@w-p.co.uk or who can be contacted at Wightman and Parrish LTD , Station Road Industrial estate, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 2QA if in accordance with applicable law you would like to correct or request access to information that we hold relating to you or if you have any questions about this notice. You also have the right to ask HR Manager for some but not all of the information we hold and process to be erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’) in certain circumstances. Our HR Manager will provide you with further information about the right to be forgotten, if you ask for it.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
We retain the recruitment data laid out above for a maximum of 6 months following successful completion of the recruitment process.
We hope that our HR Manager can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. If not, contact the Information Commissioner at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or telephone: 0303 123 1113 for further information about your rights and how to make a formal complaint.
