As part of any recruitment process, Arts Alliance Media collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. Arts Alliance Media is committed in ensuring transparency and meeting data protection obligations.
Arts Alliance Media collects a range of information about you. This includes:
• your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number;
• details of your qualifications, skills, experience and employment history
• information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements;
• whether or not you have a disability for which the organisation needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process; and
• information about your entitlement to work in the relevant jurisdiction.
Arts Alliance Media may collect this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in application forms, email correspondence, CVs or resumes, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through interviews or other forms of assessment.
We may also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers or record checks from government bodies on criminal convictions or driver checks. We will seek information from third parties only once a job offer to you has been made and will inform you that we are doing so.
We may also collect sensitive personal data on a consent, optional basis in relation to yourselves purely for government run organisations ( we will collect for the purposes of Equal opportunities employer)
Data will be stored in a range of different places on Arts Alliance Media’s IT systems (including email) but also on third party providers systems, with whom AAM has ensured that the appropriate legal framework is in place to protect your data.

The process for withdrawing your application is outlined in the email you received following your initial application.

This includes members of the HR and recruitment team, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.
We will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and we make you an offer of employment. We may share your data with former employers to obtain references for you and/premployment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks.
We take the security of your data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our relevant employees in the proper performance of their duties.
