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. If you require more information as to where your data is stored, please contact dataprotection@artsalliancemedia.com.
We process your data generally for recruitment purposes and may also process you data to enter into a contract with you.
In some cases, we need to process data to ensure that we are complying with our legal obligations. For example, it is mandatory to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the relevant jurisdiction before employment starts.
Arts Alliance Media has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows us to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment. We may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
Arts Alliance Media may process special categories of data, such as ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion or belief, to monitor recruitment statistics in relation to equal opportunities employment. We may also collect information about whether or not applicants are disabled to make reasonable adjustments for candidates who have a disability. We process such information to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
If your application is unsuccessful, Arts Alliance Media may keep your personal data on file in case there are future employment opportunities for which you may be suited. You are free to withdraw your application at any time, thus erasing all your personal data from our systems. The process for withdrawing your application is outlined in the email you received following your initial application.
Your information may be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. 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.
If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the organisation will hold your data on file for 6 (six) months after the end of the relevant recruitment process.
If you agree to allow us to keep your personal data on file, we will hold your data on file for a further 6 (six) months for consideration for future employment opportunities.
