About the information we collect and hold

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.

We do not consider that we need to process special category data of potential candidates to operate a fair recruitment process. We will not ask you to provide us with information about your race, ethnic origin, political views, religion, trade union membership, genetics, health, sex life or sexual orientation. If you should voluntarily provide us with that information (for example by inclusion on your CV or in discussions with us) we will redact that information from your CV or will omit that information from any interview notes we may keep before we consider you for any roles. We will not share special category personal data about you with anybody.
Where information may be held and data security

We will keep your personal information (including recruitment information and interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable but for a minimum of six years.
We will keep the personal information we obtain about you (including interview notes) in order for us to consider you for appropriate roles as and when they arise. We will keep your personal information for that purpose for up to 15 years, so that we can consider you for both immediately available roles and those that might be of interest to you in the future. This also takes into account the limitation periods for potential claims such as race or sex discrimination and the limitation period for potential claims in contract or tort.

Your legal rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Please email recruitment@s-h.org.uk if you wish to request access to your personal data.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. Please Contact Us if you wish to request correction of your personal data.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. Please Contact Us if you wish to request erasure of your personal data.
Object to processing of your personal data 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 as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. Please Contact Us if you wish to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party).
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Please Contact Us if you wish to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. Please Contact Us if you wish to request the transfer of your personal data.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. Please Contact Us if you withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.
For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, see the Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) on individuals' rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.
If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please Contact Us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you.
How to complain
We hope that we 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.
