Your Information
Do I have to provide this information?
Any personal information you provide to us in the table above which is based solely on your consent is entirely voluntary.
We will be unable to perform our service or enter into a contract with you if you fail to provide the mandatory information in the Candidate Registration Process.
Retention period
Your personal information will be held for a period of two years from:
- The date you last used our website; or
- (if later) The date you registered with us; or
- (if later) The date you last spoke to us.
We understand that you make have more than one position throughout your career and want to make it as easy as possible for us to continue to support you, if you wish. This does not mean that you cannot exercise your rights under law to ask us to erase your personal data at any time (see below).
During the time we hold your personal information access to it will be restricted on a “need to know” basis.
Keeping your personal information up to date
If you become aware that any personal data we hold about you is incorrect or there are any changes to your personal details, please log onto our website and update your information. If you have any difficulties doing so please contact us at data@getmyfirstjob.co.uk.
Providing us with personal information of another person
If you need to provide us with personal information about another person you must obtain that individual’s express consent to pass us their information. An example would be you providing us with the address/telephone number of your parent/legal guardian as part of your basic contact information. You should share this privacy notice with that individual as it may also apply to him/her.
Where we store your data
The data that you provide to us as set out above may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) by us and/or by the carefully selected third parties we work with.
We and third parties we work with may use cloud platforms to store your personal information. A cloud is a network of remote servers hosted on the internet. We will only use state of the art cloud platforms which give adequate guarantees that your personal data is secure. We will treat the storage of your personal data to the same level of protection as we treat our commercial information.
Where your data is held outside of the EEA, on a cloud or otherwise transferred, we will ensure this is only to a country which has been deemed adequate by a competent data protection regulator or where adequate protections have been put in place to safeguard the data (to the standards prescribed by law). This includes contractual protections.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this notice.
All information you provide to us is also stored on our secure servers.
To find out more about storage of your data, and the safeguards that are in place to protect your data outside of the EEA, contact us at: info@getmyfirstjob.co.uk
Your Account Information
Where you have created a username and password as part of the Candidate Registration Process in order to access our website, please keep this confidential. Please do not share your account username and password with anyone else as this may compromise the security of your personal information.
Automated Decision Making
We do not make any decisions about you using automated electronic processes.
For some roles, you may be asked to complete an online assessment such as a personality profile or a Maths/English test. The results of these assessments will always be considered by a person before any decision is made based on them (i.e. you will not be rejected for a role by a computer analysing your results).
