  • We keep to a minimum the information we hold about you
  • We use your data to assess your suitability for a role at Thursday’s Child

What we hold

If you have applied for a job with us then we will hold the following information until such time as your application for a specific role is either successful or unsuccessful:

  • The information that you provided on your CV or application form. This information is held with the potential intention of starting a contract with you.
  • If you attend an interview, we will hold interview notes. This is a legitimate thing for us to do and ensures that we make the correct and unbiassed decision on the best candidate.
  • If your application is successful then your data is processed as per the Fair Processing Notice available in the employee handbook.
  • If your application is unsuccessful then your CV and interview notes will be stored for 3 months just in case there are any disputes on either side, or if that particular role becomes vacant again. This is a legitimate thing for a business to do.
  • If you give us a ring or make contact by email, we will follow up on your enquiry and see if there is a way in which we can help you. We keep a record of enquiries received, so that we know what we have said to whom. This is a legitimate thing for a business to do to ensure that both parties are happy with the service levels between them.
  • Technical personal data is also captured if you use our website and that is processed to protect our users from cyber attacks and also for us to see which bits of our website are being used the most, which in term helps us with our strategy planning, a legitimate thing for companies to do.

Note: we do not accept unsolicited CVs; these are deleted immediately. We also do not keep old CVs beyond what we have stated above. CV’s go out of data quickly and we have an obligation to have correct data in our systems, as well as having a lawful reason for holding it. “Just in case” is not a good reason.
