The information provided by you on this form, together with that obtained from other relevant sources will be used to process your application for employment. The personal information that you give us will also be used in a confidential manner to help us monitor our recruitment process.
It will be beneficial to our organisation to appoint someone to this role, so it is in our legitimate interests to process the personal information you provide to decide whether to appoint you to the role.
We will use your particularly sensitive personal information as follows:
• any information you give us about your disability status to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during interview; and
• information about your nationality, gender, age etc to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting (this will be collected through the separate equality and diversity form).
If your application is successful and you become employed with acet UK the information will be used in the administration of your employment and to provide you with information about us or a third party via your pay slip. We may also use the information if there is a complaint or legal challenge relevant to the recruitment process.
We may check the information collected with third parties or with any other information held by us. We may also use or pass to third parties, information to prevent or detect crime, to protect public funds, or in other ways as permitted by law.
If you are unsuccessful, we will retain your personal information for a period of six months after we have communicated to you our decision about whether to appoint you to the role. 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 securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
If we wish to retain your personal information on file, on the basis that a further opportunity may arise in future and we may wish to consider you for that, we will write to you separately, seeking your explicit consent to retain your personal information for a fixed period on that basis.
By signing this application form we will assume that you agree to the processing of sensitive personal data (as described above).
