  • Your named referees such as your former employer, who would usually share information about the dates of your employment with them and roles held.
  • Any information published about you published online on publicly accessible sources such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, public records and otherwise.

We may also receive personal information from you from another OrganOx group company.

THE KIND OF INFORMATION WE HOLD ABOUT YOU

In connection with your application for work with us, we will collect, store, and use the following categories of personal data about you:

  • The information you have provided to us in your curriculum vitae, covering letter or application form (as applicable) including your name, title, address, telephone number, personal email address, immigration status, information about your right to work in the UK, EU or Switzerland, education history, qualifications and employment history.
  • Any information you provide to us during the application or interview process including relocation preferences, information regarding previous roles, and assessment responses and results. .
  • Information that you have provided to us in relation to any previous application made to us (including any OrganOx group company) and/or any information related to previous employment with us (including any OrganOx group company).
  • Information obtained from sources other than yourself as previously referred to in this privacy notice.
  • CCTV (and video doorbell) footage in the event that you visit our premises as part of the recruitment process.
  • This may involve us collecting, storing and using the following types of more sensitive personal information:
  • Information about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation.
  • Information about your health, including any medical condition, health and sickness records.
  • Information about criminal convictions and offences.

HOW WE WILL USE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

  • Assess your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the role.
  • Carry out background and reference checks, where applicable.
  • Communicate with you about the recruitment process.
  • Keep records related to our hiring processes.
  • Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you to the role you have applied for since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint someone to that role.

We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract with you.

It is in our legitimate interest to process your image (and potentially audio recording) when you visit our premises to ensure the safety of you and our personnel at our premises, as well as ensure the security of our premises. We will also process this data for crime prevention purposes.

If you fail to provide personal information

If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check or references for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

HOW WE USE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where appropriate we will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:

  • We use information about disability to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during a test or interview.
  • We use information about racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, disability or sexual orientation to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.

We understand that positions under local law can vary in relation to monitoring (for example in relation to equal opportunities monitoring), and we only carry out such activities in accordance with relevant laws. In the UK (or in respect of UK based data subjects), where we process special category data for prospective employment purposes, we have in place an appropriate policy document and safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.

INFORMATION ABOUT CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS

We envisage that we will process information about criminal convictions.

We will collect information about your criminal convictions history if we would like to offer you the role (conditional on checks and any other conditions, such as references, being satisfactory). We are entitled to carry out a criminal records check in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role.

We understand that positions under local law can vary in relation to information about criminal convictions, and we only carry out such activities in accordance with relevant laws. In the UK (or in respect of UK based data subjects), where we process criminal offence data for prospective employment purposes, we have in place an appropriate policy document and safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.

AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.

DATA SHARING

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?

We will only share your personal information with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your application:

  • other entities within our OrganOx group;
  • service providers (for example, IT service provider, hosting services or benefit providers) who may have access to your personal data;
  • professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, accountants, business advisers, brokers and insurers;
  • relevant government organisations or other law enforcement agencies; and
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets or who may choose (or contemplate) to invest in us. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other business or merge with them.

All our third-party service providers and other entities in the OrganOx group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We will also share your personal data with recruitment agents relevant to any application for recruitment process relevant to you (for example communicating the outcome of any interviews, whether or not an offer is made to you, and relevant details of that offer). Recruitment agents typically act as data controllers and will have their own privacy notices.

Depending on the third party that data is transferred to, your information may be sent outside of the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) and/or Switzerland such as the US.

Whenever we transfer personal data outside the UK, EEA and/or Switzerland to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of protection as the UK, EU and/or Swiss law, we always ensure that as similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are implemented:

  • We use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK by the UK government, the EEA by the European Commission and/or Switzerland by the Swiss government, in each case which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK, the EEA and/or Switzerland (as applicable).
  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government, European Commission or Swiss government, as applicable.

If you require further information in respect of the safeguards used by OrganOx, please contact our DPO using the details set out below.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

How long will you use my information for?

We will retain your personal information for a period of 12 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 our data retention policy.

If we would like to retain your personal information on file, on the basis that we might be able to consider you for an opportunity that may arise in future, we will write to you separately, seeking your explicit consent to retain your personal information for a fixed period for that purpose.

RIGHTS OF ACCESS, RECTIFICATION, ERASURE, OBJECTION, RESTRICTION AND DATA PORTABILITY

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have certain rights explained below. These rights apply in respect of our UK entities irrespective of where you are based. However, if you are based in the UK, EEA or Switzerland, the above rights will also apply in respect of our US entity.

Your rights are:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as making a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request rectification of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information 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 information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information 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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact our data protection officer (DPO) whose contact details are privacy@organox.com.

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 could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

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.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could 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 and keep you updated. If there are reasons why we cannot comply with your request, we will explain this to you.
