WHO COLLECTS THE INFORMATION
CKMN Group is a ‘data controller’ and gathers and uses certain information about you. This information may also be used by our affiliated entities and used by the companies within the CKMN Group LTD group (our ‘group companies’). Being a data controller means we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you.

ABOUT THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOLD

We may collect the following information:
- Your name and contact details (i.e. address, home and mobile phone numbers, email address);
- Your date of birth (but only if provided by you, as we do not collect this information during the recruitment process);
- Details of your qualifications, experience, employment history (including job titles, salary and working hours), skills, languages and interests;

If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application, we will not be able to process your application successfully.

We may collect this information from you through the application and recruitment process, either directly or sometimes via an employment agency or job board, or from third parties including your referees (details of whom you will have provided), your former employers, your education provider, any relevant professional body, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or the Home Office.

- where we have a legitimate interest to process your information, but only if these are not overridden by your interests, rights or freedoms;
- because it is necessary for carrying out obligations or exercising rights in employment law.
Some of the above grounds may overlap and there may be several grounds that justify our use of your personal information.
We may also use your personal information in the following rare situations:
-where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests). For example, if you became seriously unwell or had an accident during the recruitment process we may need to provide a hospital with personal information about you; or

complying with any applicable safeguarding requirements.
We seek to ensure that our information collection and processing is always proportionate. We will notify you of any changes to information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.
HOW WE MAY SHARE THE INFORMATION
We may also need to share some of the above categories of personal information with other parties, such as HR consultants and professional advisers.

WHERE INFORMATION MAY BE HELD
Information may be held by us, third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above. We require these third party suppliers or recipients of personal information to guarantee the same level of protection as provided by us. Information may be transferred internationally to other countries around the world, for the reasons described above.
For example, if you are based in the UK/EU we may transfer the personal information we collect about you outside of the UK/EU and, we will make sure one of the following safeguards is in place:
ensure there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of those countries in place; and/or
ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection and your information is treated by third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects UK and EU laws on data protection by putting in place a Data Processing or Data Sharing Agreement.
Where possible, the same applies if you are based in another CKMN Group territory, where we comply with the requirements necessary to keep your data safe.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We keep the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for a period of up to twelve months but, in any event, for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. How long we keep your information will depend on whether your application is successful and you become employed by us, the nature of the information concerned and the purposes for which it is processed.
We will keep recruitment information (including interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable, taking into account the limitation periods for potential claims such as race or sex discrimination (as extended to take account of early conciliation), after which they will be destroyed. If there is a clear business reason for keeping recruitment records for longer than the recruitment period, we may do so but will first consider whether the records can be pseudonymised, and the longer period for which they will be kept.
If your application is unsuccessful, we will keep your information for the purpose of establishing, exercising and/or defending any legal claims, in accordance with our legitimate interests. In addition, if we have your permission we will keep your information on our files so that you can be considered for other vacancies. You can request us to remove your information from our talent pool at any time by contacting us at: careers@CKMN Groupnet.com.
If your application is successful, we will keep only the recruitment information that is necessary in relation to your employment.
YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT TO US PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION
Where our processing of your information is based solely on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), you have the right to object to that processing if you give us specific reasons why you are objecting, which are based on your particular situation. If you object, we can no longer process your information unless we can demonstrate legitimate grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO), who can be contacted at dpo@CKMN Groupnet.com, if you wish to object in this way. Please state APPLICANT REQUEST in your email header.
YOUR RIGHTS TO CORRECT AND ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION AND TO ASK FOR IT TO BE ERASED
Please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO), as above, if (in accordance with applicable law) you would like to correct or request access to information that we hold relating to you or if you have any questions about this notice. You also have the right to ask our Data Protection Officer for some but not all of the information we hold and process to be erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’) in certain circumstances. Our Data Protection Officer will provide you with further information about the right to be forgotten, if you ask for it.
KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.
HOW TO COMPLAIN
We hope that our Data Protection Officer can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. If not, contact the Information Commissioner at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or telephone: 0303 123 1113 for further information about your rights and how to make a formal complaint. For employees in other territories you can contact the data protection supervisory authority in the country in which you are resident or the authority of the country in which CKMN Group is located.
