  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  4. processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

3.3     Recipients of your data

We will only share your data with a third party where we engage with them in order to complete our legitimate transaction with you, the data subject. Typically, this will include

  • recruitment agencies – who provide details of your CV and other information which you have given to them;
  • our outsourced payroll company, which will hold data about you in order to process your pay;
  • insurance, pension and other companies we use to provide staff pay, benefits and insurances, such as the Employee Assistance Programme.;
  • Occupational Health providers, doctors and other health professionals who provide us with advice on employee medical conditions and sickness management providers (and there are separate rules around our access to such information);
  • HMRC, regulatory authorities and Government Departments to comply with our duties and legal obligations in relation to, for example, safe recruitment, tax, sick pay, maternity/ paternity / adoption leave pay and social security information;
  • the Disclosure and Barring Service; and
  • agencies who request information about you in relation to an application by you for credit or a reference (such as a mortgage lender or lettings agent). In such cases you will be asked to consent to us providing them with this information.

We do not normally share your information with outside organisations other than for the purposes set out above except in specific circumstances (such as for legal proceedings) and never sell or provide information about you to any organisation that wishes to sell to you

3.4     Transfer to a third country

All of our third-party providers which process your personal data, are checked to make sure that where data is transferred outside the UK, it is processed in a way that it is offered the same levels of protection as in the UK. Where data is transferred to countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), these countries are covered by adequacy regulations. Where data is transferred to the US there is a data protection agreement with the third-party provider based on Standard Contract Clauses.

4.         How long do we hold your data for?
