If you have any questions about this privacy notice or about how we handle your personal information then please contact the People team (recruiting@eidu.com).

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide personal information to the Company during the recruitment process.

Your personal information may be stored in different places, including on your application record, in the Company’s HR management system and in other IT systems, such as the email System.

Why and how do we use your personal information?

We will use your personal information in one or more of the following circumstances:

We need personal information primarily to enable us to take steps at your request to enter into a contract with you, or to enter into a contract with you, and to enable us to comply with our legal obligations.

We may use it for legitimate interests including: pursuing our business by employing employees, workers and contractors; managing the recruitment process; conducting due diligence on prospective employees and performing effective internal administration.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your consent, in compliance with these rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

What if you fail to provide personal information?

If you fail to provide certain personal information when requested, we may not be able to process your job application properly or at all, we may not be able to enter into a contract with you, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations. You may also be unable to exercise your statutory rights.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, i.e. for the recruitment exercise for which you have applied.

However, if your job application is unsuccessful, we may wish to keep your personal information on file in case there are future suitable employment opportunities with us. We will ask for your consent before we keep your personal information on file for this purpose. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Who has access to your personal information?

Your personal information may be shared internally within the Company for the purposes of the recruitment exercise, including with members of the People/HR department, members of the recruitment team, managers in the department which has the vacancy and IT staff if access to your personal information is necessary for the performance of their roles.

We may also share your personal information with third parties (and their designated agents), including: external organisations for the purposes of conducting pre-employment reference and employment background checks, external organisations for the purposes of conducting pre-employment health checks, certificate of good conduct checks, former employers, to obtain references, professional advisors, such as lawyers. We may also need to share your personal information with a regulator or to otherwise comply with the law.

For how long do we keep your personal information?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed.

If your application for employment or engagement is unsuccessful, we will generally hold your personal information for one year after the end of the relevant recruitment exercise, unless there is a statutory reason to keep your information or you have asked us to keep your information on file for future recruitment exercises.

If your application for employment or engagement is successful, personal information gathered during the recruitment process will be retained for the duration of your employment or engagement and in accordance with the privacy notice for employees, workers and contractors.

Personal information which is no longer to be retained will be securely and effectively destroyed. You will not be informed separately about the deletion of your data.

Your rights in connection with your personal information

You have a number of statutory rights. Subject to certain conditions, and in certain circumstances, you have the right to:

Request access to your personal information
Request rectification of your personal information
Request the erasure of your personal information
Restrict the processing of your personal information
Object to the processing of your personal information
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party so that you can reuse it across different services for your own purposes.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our People team. We may need to request specific information from you in order to verify your identity and check your right to access the personal information or to exercise any of your other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

In the limited circumstances where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. This will not, however, affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal. If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact our People team. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your personal information for the purpose you originally agreed to, unless we have another legal basis for processing.
