How do we share your personal data?

We will not share your personal data unless we need to as part of providing services to you or the law lets us do so. If we do have to share your information then we’ll keep it to a minimum to let the person or organisation do what we’ve asked or as the law requires. We may need to share your information with other organisations as follows.

We sometimes use agents and service providers to process personal information on our behalf. We may use other companies to send out letters, maintain our IT systems and provide personnel and payroll services. Where we use other organisations to process your personal information, we will ensure that they have adequate security measures in place to safeguard it.

We will share your information with individuals and organisations holding information in relation to your references which may be current or past employers, educational establishments, examining bodies and employment or recruitment agencies.

We will release your personal information when we’re required to do so for legal or regulatory purposes or as part of legal proceedings. This may include sharing your information with regulators.

We may transfer or share your information with other companies in the YTL group for the purposes we’ve explained but if we’re going to use it for something other than for a reason you wouldn’t normally expect then we will explain why by letting you know about the changes and, if we need your agreement, then we’ll check you are happy with this before we share it.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

All the information you give us is stored on our secure servers. If we have given you a password (or you have chosen one) then you need to keep this password confidential. Please don’t share your passwords with anyone.

To get the best value for money when we improve our computer systems and websites, we use IT development services which are based outside of the European Economic Area. Some development projects may involve them working with your information. If this happens, we will take proper steps to keep your information safe through European Union approved contracts and by making sure your information stays protected within our own UK security arrangements using high standards of encryption in any transfer.

Unfortunately, sending information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data sent to us or our site by email; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent someone who doesn’t have our authority to access it.

HOW LONG WE NEED TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We will need to keep details about our relationship whilst we are going through the recruitment process and for 6 years after that as we may need to refer to it to sort out any differences or problems that arise after our relationship ends. If your application is unsuccessful or you do not accept an offer of employment then we will keep only your application and assessment information.  We will keep this for six months and will then destroy it.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have a series of rights to do with the information we hold about you. These are:

Your right to be informed – this Notice is an example of this. We may need to update this Notice if we need to do something different with your information and so we may change it on our site. We will also provide you with details about how we use your information when we collect it from you.

Your right of access – you have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. Please email requests to hello@turnbulluk.co.uk.

We have a calendar month to respond to your request for information. If we need more information to process your request, we will contact you to let you know.

Your right to erasure – customers who are individuals have the right to request that their personal information be deleted where there is no longer a legitimate purpose for it being processed.

Your right to restrict processing – you have the right to ask us to restrict or suppress our use of your personal data. If we agree that we should stop processing it, we will still hold it but will not use it.

Your right to rectification – it is important that the information we are holding is accurate and up to date so if you think any of your information is incorrect or needs updating then let us know and we will correct it as soon as we can.

Your right to object – if you don’t want us to use your personal information anymore then you can ask us to stop what we’re doing with it. Please bear in mind though that we need it to provide services to you and we may need to keep your data for a certain amount of time as we’ve explained above. You can also ask us not to use your personal data for marketing purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us at hello@turnbulluk.co.uk. If you ask to stop using your personal information then we will contact you to confirm the position as there may be some circumstances where we will have to continue using it.
