You can download or clear all data within your online CV anytime using the 'Download your CV' or 'Clear you CV' buttons.

Our purposes

If you choose to use our services, we will process your personal data so that we can provide you with a candidate account. Some of the information requested at the registration stage is optional.

Our lawful basis for processing data to set up your account is legitimate interest.

We may, from time to time, send you promotional material via email. This is limited to our ‘¹û¶³´«Ã½APP by Email’ service, in which you can opt-in to receive daily or weekly email alerts about newly-added jobs.

Our lawful basis for processing your data for direct marketing purposes is your consent.

We may also from time to time send you service related emails to notify you of the progress of an application you have made, as well as any essential account information.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks

If your application is successful, we may need to contact you in order for you to complete a basic standard or enhanced DBS check, if the role requires it. We do this under our obligation as a Registered Body for the Disclosure and Barring Service, in which we ‘countersign’ applications before they are submitted.

When performing our countersignature service, we will collect the following information:

• Your answers to the questions on the DBS disclosure form.
• The electronic form application reference and disclosure number.
• The status of the application at the DBS and timestamps for when we were notified of that status.
• Whether or not the employer should expect you to bring them a disclosure for checking.

We do not receive the completed certificate. This will be sent to you directly by the DBS. We do not store this information for longer than six months

Our lawful basis for processing your data for these purposes is our legitimate interest.

How long do we store your information?

You can delete your candidate account at any time. We will remove your account if it remains inactive for longer than 730 days, unless there are applications associated with this.

We retain application forms submitted through our service for 400 days, or 200 days after your proposed or actual start date, whichever is the greater.

Sharing Information

We will never sell your data to third parties. We do however share your contact details with the organisations you have made an application to.

We also use third party data processors who provide marketing, marketing automation and lead-generation services for us. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation and they will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

The legal basis for sharing these data is our legitimate interest in cost effectively marketing our business.

International Transfers

¹û¶³´«Ã½APP operates and provides services from its locations across the globe. As such we may transfer personal information to Civica group locations outside of the EEA when we have a business reason to do so. We have Intra-Group Transfer Protocols in place based on Standard Contract Clauses which provide legal safeguards for such transfers.

Your Rights

Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. This right always applies. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process.

Your right to rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete. This right always applies.

Your right to data portability – This only applies to information you have given us.

The right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or as part of a contract, or in talks about entering into a contract and the processing is automated.

Your right to withdraw consent – You can withdraw your consent that you have previously given to one or more specified purposes to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. It may mean we are not able to provide certain products or services to you and we will advise you if this is the case.

Rights related requests

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or to exercise any of your other rights. This helps us to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

No fee is required to make a request unless your request is clearly unfounded or excessive. Depending on the circumstances, we may be unable to comply with your request based on other lawful grounds.
