Why does Reynolds process personal data?
Reynolds needs to process data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. It may also need to process your data to enter into a contract with you.
In some cases, the Company needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations (for example, it is required to check a successful applicant’s eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts) or within its legitimate interest (e.g. to avoid being defrauded).
Special categories of data
Reynolds may process special categories of data where we have a clear legal basis to do so, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation or religion or belief, to monitor recruitment statistics. We may also collect information about whether or not applicants are disabled to make reasonable adjustments for candidates who have a disability. We process such information to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
How long does Reynolds keep data?
We will retain your data for the time period specified by law. If there is no legally required time frame for retaining your data the company will delete information as appropriate, in accordance with your rights and freedoms and those of The Company.
Who has access to data?
Your information may be shared internally for appropriate business purposes only or we will look to obtain your specific consent if are seeking to use your data for any other purpose.
Reynolds will not transfer your data outside the European Economic Area unless prior notification is provided. Where we do share your data with third parties, we provide written instructions to them to ensure that your data is held securely and in line with GDPR requirements. Third parties must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your data.
How does Reynolds protect data?
We take the security of your data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.
Your rights
As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:
- Access and obtain a copy of your data on request
- Require Reynolds to change incorrect or incomplete data
- Require Reynolds to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing
- Object to the processing of your data where Reynolds is relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact the HR department at hrstaffs@reynolds-cs.com
If you believe that Reynolds has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner.
Automated decision-making
None of our data processing activities rely on automated decision making.
