This information applies to anyone applying for a role at ieDigital. ieDigital is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Notice (together with any other documents referred to herein) sets out the basis on which the personal data collected from you, or that you provide to ieDigital, will be processed by ieDigital in connection with ieDigital’s recruitment processes. Please read the following sections carefully to understand ieDigital’s views and practices regarding your personal data and how it will be treated. For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Controller is Intelligent Environments.

When you apply, we may ask you for the following personal information:

• Your name

• Your work and educational history (typically in your CV)
• Your current salary information and your notice period at your current employer

As well as what we’ve listed above, we may ask you to give us some sensitive personal data such as:

We only ever ask for this information to keep track of our equal opportunities monitoring and to make sure we’re complying with anti-discrimination laws. Where we use your data for these purposes, we anonymise it. You don’t have to share it with us, and legally we can’t consider it as part of your application. So if you choose not to share it with us, it won’t harm your application in any way.

We typically get most of your personal information directly from you, but we may get some information about you from other sources:

• We collect information about you from background checking agencies
• We collect workplace references from your referees
• Information about you from publicly available sources (eg your name and contact details)
• We might receive your personal information from third-party recruitment firms.

We use your information to:

• Make hiring decisions
• Contact you throughout the hiring process
• Run recruitment and promotion processes (including an applicant tracking system)
• Run background checks (we’ll always tell you before running these checks)
• Fulfil our immigration and employment law obligations
• Track our equal opportunities, diversity and other recruitment performance (we
  anonymise your data for these purposes).
