Protecting the privacy of your personal data
At Research Organisation (KC) Ltd we respect your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data. This includes information about you that is personally identifiable, like your name, email address, or phone number.
The way we collect, manage, store, and use your personal information is governed by the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK and EU data protection law, called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This reinforces the obligations and duties of organisations using and storing personal data and introduces new rights for those whose data is being held.
The type of personal information we collect
We only collect the following information:
· Personal identifiers, contacts and characteristics (for example, name and contact details) when submitted to us in response for information or job applications
How we get the personal information and why we have it
All of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:
· Information about our services
· Job applications
We use the information that you have given us in order to respond to enquiries regarding our services or for the purposes of a job application only.
We do not share this information with any other organisation.
Under the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases we rely on for processing this information are:
Legitimate business interests.
How we store your personal information
We keep your name, email, and contact details only for the purpose of a job application until that post is fulfilled. If you accept an offer of employment, any personal data collected in your pre-engagement period will become part of your employee records and will be subject to storage periods determined by UK law. Unsuccessful applicant data will be kept until the end of the recruitment process and then securely deleted from all hard drives, backups, and file servers.
We keep your name, email, and contact details for the purposes of enquiries about our services until the conclusion of the enquiry. When your information is no longer required to respond to enquiries, we will then securely delete your information from all hard drives, backups, and file servers. In instances where an enquiry leads to a business contract, your personal data will be maintained as stipulated in said contract.
