The Royal Garden Hotel 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 the hotel to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide to whom to offer a job. The organisation may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.

We process health information if we need to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability. This is to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.

For some roles, the hotel seeks information about criminal convictions and offences. Where the hotel seeks this information, it does so to establish whether an individual has committed an unlawful act or been involved in dishonesty or other improper conduct for the purposes of preventing or detecting unlawful acts.

The hotel will not use your data for any purpose other than the recruitment exercise for which you have applied.

Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise.

The hotel will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and it makes you an offer of employment. The hotel will then share your data with former employers to obtain references for you (with your consent), employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks and the Disclosure and Barring Service to obtain necessary criminal records checks where applicable.

Your data may be transferred outside the UK to obtain approval for salary reviews or in the recruitment of senior roles from our owning company. Data is transferred outside the UK on the basis of [specify relevant safeguards in line with our data protection policy.

How does the organisation protect data?

The organisation takes the security of your data seriously. It has 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 employees in the proper performance of their duties. For how long does the organisation keep data? If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the organisation will hold your data on file for 6 months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. [If you agree to allow the hotel to keep your personal data on file, the organisation will hold your data on file for a further 6 months for consideration for future employment opportunities]. At the end of that period or once you withdraw your consent, your data is deleted or destroyed.

If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment. The periods for which your data will be held will be provided to you in our Data retention policy.

What if you do not provide personal data?

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to the organisation during the recruitment process.
