  1. How we use Special Category Data

 

“Special Category Data” is particularly sensitive personal information which requires higher levels of protection.  Examples of “Special Category Data” are listed in section 1 above.  We need to have further justification for collecting, storing, controlling, processing and using this type of personal information. We may process Special Category Data in the following circumstances:

 

  • With your explicit consent at the initial stage of providing recruitment services to you.
  • To provide services for the recruitment of an individual as an employee, or the continued employment of an individual.
  • Where we need to carry out our legal obligations and in line with this policy
  • Where it is needed in the public interest, such as for equal opportunities monitoring and in line with this policy
  • Where it is needed to assess your working capacity on health grounds, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.
  • Where employers are restricted from employing individuals who have unspent convictions, due to the business the employer undertakes, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

 

  1. Data Sharing

 

For Candidates and Temps/Contractors, we will share your personal information with potential employers in the course of providing employment/recruitment services.  Before doing so we will always seek your consent and all potential employers we deal with are subject to obligations of confidentiality in respect of this information.

 

For Employers, we will only share your information with our own directors, consultants and support staff, or with our candidates/contractors/temps if required for their interview or for the purposes of their commencement of employment.

 

For our potential or employed Staff, we will only share your information with the Company owners, directors and managers, your referees, as well as the States of Guernsey Revenue Service for tax and social security purposes in relation to your payroll.

 

We do not sell, rent or otherwise share information that reasonably identifies you with unaffiliated entities for their independent use except as expressly described in this Privacy Policy or with your prior consent.

 

As part of our work-finding services, we may share Personal Information with potential employers within Guernsey, Jersey, the UK, the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Crown Dependencies. There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man, so these jurisdictions are considered to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.

 

Before sharing Personal Information with any employers or their consultants in any jurisdictions outside of the EEA or areas listed above, we would first obtain your specific consent, which would be noted.

 

We may also disclose Personal Information that we collect to third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf in the course of the recruitment process or in the course of employing you as a member of our staff, or alternatively to law enforcement or government authorities as may be required by law.  If we do share your Personal Information in this way, you can expect a similar degree of protection.

 

If the Company’s business is sold or integrated with another business, your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers, and will be passed on to the new owners of the business.

  1. Data Security Procedures

 

The Company takes every precaution to protect your Personal Information. Details of these measures are available upon request.

 

We have put in place appropriate security procedures 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 Company staff who have a business need to know.  All of our staff are fully and regularly trained in Data Protection and Cyber Security.  Our owners, directors, consultants and support staff will only process your Personal Information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality by signed employment contract.

 

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