This privacy notice sets out, in line with data protection obligations, the types of data that we collect and hold on you as a job applicant. It also sets out how we use that information, how long we keep it for and other relevant information about your data. Data Protection Principles The Firm is a data controller, meaning that it determines the processes to be used when using your personal data. In relation to your personal data, we will:
  • Process it fairly, lawfully and in a clear, transparent way.
  • Collect your data only for reasons that we find proper for the course of your employment in ways that have been explained to you.
  • Only use it in the way that we have told you about.
  • Ensure it is correct and up to date.
  • Keep your data for only as long as we need it.
  • Process it in a way that ensures it will not be used for anything that you are not aware of or have consented to (as appropriate), lost or destroyed.

How We Collect Your Data We collect data about you in a variety of ways including a CV or a job application cover letter, or notes made by our recruiting managers during a recruitment interview. Other details may be collected directly from you in the form of official documentation such as your driving licence, passport or other right to work evidence. In some cases, we will collect data about you from third parties, such as employment agencies, former employers when gathering references or credit reference agencies. Please see our People Screening Policy for more information. Personal data is kept electronically in personnel files or within the Company’s HR and IT systems. Why We Process Your Data The law on data protection allows us to process your data for certain reasons only:
  • In order to perform the employment contract that we are party to.
  • In order to carry out legally required duties.
  • In order for us to carry out our legitimate interests.
  • To protect your interests.
  • Where something is done in the public interest.
All of the processing carried out by us falls into one of the permitted reasons. Generally, we will rely on the first three reasons set out above to process your data. We need to collect your data to ensure we are complying with legal requirements such as:
  • Carrying out checks in relation to your right to work in the UK.
  • Making reasonable adjustments for disabled employees.
We also collect data so that we can carry out activities which are in the legitimate interests of Berrys. We have set these out below:
  • Making decisions about who to offer employment to.
  • Making decisions about salary and other benefits.
  • Assessing training needs.
  • Dealing with legal claims made against us.
If you are unsuccessful in obtaining employment, we will seek your consent to retaining your data in case other suitable job vacancies arise at Berrys for which you maybe suitable. You are free to withhold your consent to this and there will be no consequences for withholding consent. Special Categories of Data Special categories of data are data relating to your:
  • Health
  • Sex life
  • Sexual orientation
  • Race
  • Ethnic origin
  • Political opinion
  • Religion
  • Trade union membership
  • Genetic and biometric data
We must process special categories of data in accordance with more stringent guidelines. Most commonly, we will process special categories of data when the following applies:
  • You have given explicit consent to the processing.
  • We must process the data in order to carry out our legal obligations.
  • We must process data for reasons of substantial public interest.
  • You have already made the data public.
We Will Use Your Special Category Data: For the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring. We do not need your consent if we use special categories of personal data in order to carry out our legal obligations or exercise specific rights under employment law. However, we may ask for your consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data. If this occurs, you will be made fully aware of the reasons for the processing. As with all cases of seeking consent from you, you will have full control over your decision to give or withhold consent and there will be no consequences where consent is withheld. Consent, once given, may be withdrawn at any time. There will be no consequences where consent is withdrawn. Criminal Conviction Data We will only collect criminal conviction data where it is appropriate given the nature of your role and where the law permits us. This data may be collected at the recruitment stage, however, it may also be collected during your employment, and this will be explained to you. We use criminal conviction data in the following ways:
  • In order to fulfil our requirements under the Banking Code & Money Laundering Regulations.
If You Do Not Provide Your Data to Us One of the reasons for processing your data is to allow us to carry out an effective recruitment process. Whilst you are under no obligation to provide us with your data, we may not able to process, or continue with (as appropriate), your application. Sharing Your Data Your data will be shared with colleagues within the Firm where it is necessary for them to undertake their duties with regard to recruitment. In some cases, we will collect data about you from third parties, such as employment agencies. Your data will be shared with third parties if you are successful in your job application. In these circumstances, we will share your data in order to:
  • Obtain references as part of the recruitment process.
  • Obtain a criminal records check if applicable to your role.

Third parties must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your data. How long We Keep Your Data For In line with data protection principles, we only keep your data for as long as we need it for and this will depend on whether or not you are successful in obtaining employment with us. If your application is not successful, we will keep your data for a 3 month period once the recruitment ends. If we have sought your consent to keep your data on file for future job vacancies, and you have provided consent, we will keep your data for 6 months once the recruitment exercise ends. At the end of this period, we will delete or destroy your data, unless you have already withdrawn your consent to our processing of your data in which case it will be deleted or destroyed upon your withdrawal of consent. If your application is successful, your data will be kept and transferred to the systems we administer for employees. We have a separate privacy notice for employees, which will be provided to you. No decision will be made about you solely on the basis of automated decision making. We do not share your data with bodies outside of the European Economic Area. Your Rights in Relation to Your Data The law on data protection gives you certain rights in relation to the data we hold on you. These are:
  • The right to be informed. This means that we must tell you how we use your data, and this is the purpose of this privacy notice.
  • The right of access. You have the right to access the data that we hold on you. To do so, you should make a subject access request.

  • The right to have information deleted. If you would like us to stop processing your data, you have the right to ask us to delete it from our systems where you believe there is no reason for us to continue processing it.
  • The right to restrict the processing of the data. For example, if you believe the data we hold is incorrect, we will stop processing the data (whilst still holding it) until we have ensured that the data is correct.
  • The right to portability. You may transfer the data that we hold on you for your own purposes.
  • The right to object to the inclusion of any information. You have the right to object to the way we use your data where we are using it for our legitimate interests.

However, in some cases, we may continue to use the data where so permitted by having a legitimate reason for doing so. If you wish to exercise any of the rights explained above, please contact The HR team on recruitment@berrys.uk.com.
