GDPR
The EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) is effective as of the 25th of May 2018. Thus we recognise that;
- anyone who holds individuals' personal data must meet the obligations of GDPR
- we have had to enhance policies to be more transparent
- GDPR also gives you greater control over how we use your personal data
Our current policy for the retention and deletion of personal data states that in typical cases we will hold your data for a period of seven years in respect of all matters save for conveyancing files which must be held for a period of thirteen years. Data on job applicants who did not get hired is retained for one year. The data is permanently deleted in the next of our bi-annual system-wide data purges. In some cases this deletion of data, in practice, may also involve the anonymisation of some data so that it may be retained, and subsequently used, for statistical or analytical purposes.
