Privacy Notice for Job Applicants – ODEON Cinemas Limited (05/06/2019)
Welcome to our privacy notice for job applicants.
About us and our contact details
This document explains how we collect and use your personal data, under data protection laws, as a job applicant. For the purposes of the data protection laws, the ODEON Cinemas Group company which you have applied for a job with, is the controller of the personal data. Our contact details are available in the job application process or on our website.
What data we collect and use
There are a number of reasons why we will need to use your personal data.
We have included further details about:
the types of personal data which we collect and use in appendix 1
reasons why we may use your personal data in appendix 2
We will request and use your personal data on one of the following grounds:
to meet any legal requirements as part of the recruitment process;
for our legitimate interests in the course of our business (where your interests and rights don’t override our business needs);
where we have specifically asked and you have given us permission to use it
If we ask you for your consent to use your personal data, you are free to give, refuse or withdraw it later if you choose to and there won’t be any negative consequences for you.
If you are successful in your application and appointed to a role, the information about you that we collect during the recruitment process will be included in your HR file. Equality Opportunities information which you provide voluntarily will be held separate to your HR file.
Some data you need to give us
There will be some personal data you must give us, whether to meet certain legal, pre-contract or other requirements. Without such information, it could affect our ability to continue our recruitment process with you; or meet our legal obligations. If any personal data we request is optional, we’ll let you know that upfront.
Where we get your data
We collect your personal data through our recruitment process. This includes data coming directly from you, recruitment agencies, background check providers, test providers (including psychometric testing organisations) and your reference providers. We sometimes collect additional information from other third parties (including business partners, networking websites, social media and other public websites, but only to the extent that it would be lawful for us to do so, as part of the recruitment process).
Who we share it with
We may share your personal data with those colleagues involved in the recruitment process (HR administrators, recruiting managers, those colleagues involved in shortlisting and interview panel members).
Where relevant to the application process, we may share personal data with: other members of the ODEON Cinemas Group; service providers (eg recruitment or employment agencies, referees, testing providers (including psychometric testing) and recruitment process related venue providers); external advisors and others as necessary for the purposes we collected it. Where appropriate, we or such third parties, will share details of any applicable privacy notices about their processing of your personal data as either controllers or processors.
Sharing internationally
To the extent that it is relevant to your job application or our recruitment process, or depending upon the location of our service providers, we may share personal data with people or businesses outside the UK and European Economic Area. We’ll make sure your personal data transferred internationally is secure and protected in accordance with data protection laws.
How long we’ll keep your data
We will only keep your personal data for as long as we need to, for the purposes we collected it for, and to meet any legal, accounting, business or reporting requirements. In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data, so that it is unidentifiable and continue to use it. As soon as we no longer need your personal data, (which for unsuccessful candidates would usually be 12 months after the date of our decision) we will securely delete or destroy it.
Where we use automated decision-making
We may use computer systems to check through personal data and make a decision without our colleagues or service provider’s employees being involved. Where we do this, more information on our approach, what it means for you and the safeguards we use are available from the Data Protection Officer (dpo@odeonuk.com).
Your rights
You can do any of the following in terms of your personal data, in certain circumstances:
ask to see it
ask us to correct it
ask us to delete it
ask us not to process it
ask us to restrict its use
ask us to give you or someone else your personal data in a portable format
change your mind at any time and refuse permission, where we’re relying on your consent to use your personal data
We act with trust & respect in all your requests in respect of the above, and will carry them out as soon as we can. If your request seems excessive or unreasonable, we may need to charge a fee to cover the work involved or we may not agree to your request.
If you’re unhappy with our use of your personal data or have any concerns, we hope that our Data Protection Officer can work this through with you. However, if you remain unhappy you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator for data protection issues. (www.ico.org.uk).
