• We are required to process information to comply with a legal obligation 

We do not request special category personal information unless there is a genuine reason for doing so and an appropriate legal basis applies.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information within your CV or application.

We will keep candidate information only for as long as it is reasonably required for our recruitment activities and legal obligations.

If we wish to retain your details so that we can contact you about future opportunities, we will do so in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

You can contact us at any time if you no longer wish to be considered for opportunities.

Please let us know if your circumstances change, particularly your:

• Contact information 
• Employment status 
• Availability 
• Preferred location 
• Job preferences 

You may have the right to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your information, or to object to certain uses of it.
