The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process personal data, including:
Consent: In specific situations, we can collect and process data with an individual’s consent. For example, where we request medical records and/or a medical opinion for an employee on behalf of one of our Clients. Please note data subjects may withdraw their consent to processing of personal data for a particular purpose at any stage. However, please note that we may continue to retain, or otherwise use such personal information thereafter where we have a legitimate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so. Our processing in that respect will be limited to what is necessary in furtherance of those interests or obligations. Withdrawal of consent will not have any effect on the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Contractual obligations: In many circumstances, we need personal data to comply with our contractual obligations to Clients. For example, if a Client requires to run a disciplinary procedure, on its behalf, as part of our offering of HR Services.
Legal compliance: If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process data; for example, if DBS or right to work checks are required.
Legitimate interest: In providing our HR Services, we will carry out some processing of personal data which is necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, which include the provision of broad and comprehensive HR Services, retaining records of our dealings and transactions and where applicable, using such records for the purposes of, establishing compliance with contractual obligations with Clients, addressing any query or dispute that may arise including establishing, exercising or defending any legal claims, protecting our reputation, maintaining a back-up of our system, solely for the purpose of being able to restore the system to a particular point in the event of a system failure or security breach and evaluating quality and compliance including compliance with this Privacy Notice.
