all applicants who are applying to work with us or with any of our group entities together “RBB”, “we”, “us” or “our”), or who are enquiring about vacancies (whether as an employee, consultant, contractor, worker or other staff member) (together, “you”).


1.2 This notice relates to personal information about you from which you can be identified. We refer to this information throughout this notice as “personal data”. Personal data does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). There are “special categories” of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection. Section 3 of this notice sets out examples of your personal data that we use.


1.3 We are the controller of your personal data. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you during the recruitment exercise. As a controller we use (or ‘process’) the personal data we hold on you in accordance with this notice.


1.4 We take our data protection responsibilities seriously and this notice reflects the obligations set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (“GDPR”) and applies regardless as to which the RBB entity receives the application, to the extent permitted under any applicable local laws.


1.5 This notice sets out how we collect and process your personal data. This notice also provides certain information that is legally required and lists your rights in relation to your personal data.

1.7 Your personal data belongs to you and it is your choice whether you provide us with your personal data. However, because we require certain items of your personal data in order to consider your application (for example, evidence of qualifications or work history), please be aware that if you do not provide all of the personal data we request from you then we may not be able to consider your application further. It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during the course of the recruitment process.


1.8 Please read this notice carefully, so that you are aware of how and why we are using your data.

3 RECRUITMENT PROCESS


3 .1 In some cases your application may reach us via a third party recruitment agency. If that is the case, we will provide the recruitment agency with the minimum criteria for the role and they will provide us with your application if you meet the minimum criteria. Having received your application (whether by way of your CV and covering letter or application form or otherwise) we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the requirements to be shortlisted for the role or to consider if there is a vacancy which you may be suited for. We will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview or to attend assessments. If we decide to call you for an interview or to attend assessments, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview(s) and during any assessments to decide whether to offer you the role. We may then take up references or carry out a criminal record check before confirming your appointment.
