    INTRODUCTION

    The ORS GROUP (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your Personal Data (“Data”), which is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

    The ORS GROUP is a Personal Data Controller. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use Personal Data about you. As provided under the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”), this Statement is aimed at informing you of how and why your Personal Data will be used, namely for the purposes of the recruitment exercise, and how long it will be retained for.

    The person responsible for overseeing Data protection compliance issues within the ORS GROUP is the Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), who can be reached by email at [email protected].

    For questions about anything contained in this Statement please contact the DPO.


    DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

    We will comply with Data protection Law and principles, which means that your Data will be:

    • Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
    • Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
    • Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
    • Accurate and kept up to date.
    • Maintained only for as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about, i.e. in relation to the recruitment exercise.
    • Kept securely and protected against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against loss or destruction using appropriate technical and organizational measures.

    THE KIND OF DATA WE HOLD ABOUT YOU  

    In connection with your application, we may collect, use and store the following categories of Personal Data about you:

    • The Data you have provided to us in your curriculum vitae (CV) and the Data contained in your covering letter.
    • The Data you have provided on our application form, including name, title, home/term address, telephone number, personal email address, date of birth, gender, employment history, qualifications, nationality, profession, professional memberships, educational achievements, diplomas, transcripts, languages, computer skills, national service completion (if applicable), identification number and any data you provide us during interviews at our premises.
    • Any Personal Data provided to us about you by your referees (if applicable).

    HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

    We collect Personal Data about candidates from the following sources:

    • You, the candidate.
    • Your named referees, from whom we collect the following categories of data: full name, periods of previous employment, performance during previous employment.
    • From publicly accessible sources, such as Linkedin, etc., where we collect your full name, email, work history, and other data included on your profile.

    HOW WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA   

    We will use the personal data we collect about you to:

    • 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 since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint a suitable candidate to that role.

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

    Having received your CV and covering letter and the results from any tests you eventually took, we will then process that Data to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is suitable to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the Data you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the role. If we decide to offer you the role, we may then take up references and/or any other check before confirming your appointment.


    If you fail to provide Personal Data

    If you fail to provide Personal Data when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we may not be able to process your application further.


    HOW WE USE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA  

    We will use your sensitive personal Data only in so far as we are permitted by Law to do so:

    • We will use Data 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 a test or interview.
    • We will use Data about your nationality or ethnicity, to assess whether a work permit and a visa will be necessary for the role.

    We will process information relating to criminal convictions where the law allows it. This will usually be where it is necessary to carry out the Company’s obligations and where it is appropriate given the nature of the role.


    DATA SHARING  

    We may share your Personal Data with other entities in the ORS GROUP and with our third-party service providers. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.


    DATA SECURITY AND DATA BREACH

    We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Data to those managers, employees, collaborators and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal data on our specific instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Details of these measures may be obtained from the DPO.

    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  

    We will retain your Personal Data for a period of 3 years after your last application date [if you are unsuccessful, we shall retain your personal data for 6 months or for a period of 3 years upon your explicit consent]. We retain your Data 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. We further retain such Data in case a similar role becomes vacant for which you will be a fitting candidate. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with our data retention policy.


    RIGHTS OF ACCESS, CORRECTION, ERASURE, AND RESTRICTION  

    Your rights in connection with Personal Data

    Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

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