WRITECH PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy & Data Protection Notice applies to all Personal Data that Writech and any websites or equivalent internet resources may generally collect, process and store about you. By providing your Personal Data to us, you expressly acknowledge that you have read and understood this Notice. The privacy and security of the Personal Data collected from you is a priority to us. It is also important to us that you understand how we handle this data.

Your personal data

Applicable Data Protection laws impose obligations on Writech as the data controller, when we collect or create, hold, amend, disclose, or erase/destroy (collectively referred to as processing) your personal data and give you, as the data subject, rights over your personal data.

One such obligation is to process,(e.g. collect, hold, use or erase) your personal data fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner. This Privacy Notice meets that obligation by explaining what personal data we will hold about you, how we will process your personal data, why we process your personal data, the lawful grounds on which we are processing it and how long we hold your personal data for. It also sets out some of your legal rights.

We may change our Privacy Notice in the future. If we make any substantial and/or material changes and those changes materially affect you, we’ll inform you of any changes before they take effect.

We take your privacy seriously and want you to understand our practices with respect to the handling of your personal data. This Data Privacy Notice explains how we do this

Much of the Personal Data we handle is provided by you as part of your obligations to provide honest and lawful information to support your employment or efforts in securing engagement as an employee or service provider with the Writech Group of Companies. Other forms of your Personal Data we hold are regenerated by employment related processes only, such as training and development.

If any form which collects your personal data allows you to voluntarily provide additional information, we seek this information because we think it will help us to give you a better quality service. You do not have to provide such information if you do not wish to do so.

What do we do with your personal data

We use your Personal Data strictly in the administration of your candidate application process or personnel records during your tenure of engagement with Writech. The data is not intended for, or used for, any other purpose than employment related activities.

Whom do we share your personal data with?

Your Personal Data is maintained strictly for the purpose of employment related activities or engagement with the Writech Group of Companies and will not be shared with any other organisation or individual outside of the Group, other than our cloud based partners based in Europe, which abide to the GDPR-policy. Also see the ‘third party data processors notice’.

How do we safegaurd your personal data?

We maintain your Personal Data on secure servers with access restricted to authorised (Human Resources) personnel using username/password. Firewall protection is continuously enabled to prevent unauthorised data access from outside the Writech network.

How long do we keep your personal data for?

We will only hold your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, before making it non-identifiable or deleting it. Please refer to the Data Retention Policy here, for further information.

We will delete your personal data from our systems if we have not had any meaningful contact with you for three years (or for such longer period as we believe in good faith that the law or relevant regulators require us to preserve your data). After this period, it is likely your data will no longer be relevant for the purposes for which it was collected.

When we refer to “meaningful contact”, we mean, for example, communication between us (either verbal or written). We will also consider it meaningful contact if you communicate with us about potential roles, either by verbal or written or submit your updated CV on to our website.

Your rights, complaints and how to contact us

You have the right to access your personal data and ask for it to be rectified or deleted at any later time. If you have questions or concerns relating to the handling of your personal data, or other privacy related query, please get in touch with us or contact your Line Manager, an HR Representative or one of our Data Controllers.

If you are in the EU, you also have the right to raise a privacy concern with the Data Protection Authority established in the relevant EU country.

Your right to withdraw consent

Whenever you have given us your consent to use your personal data, you have the right to change your mind at any time and withdraw that consent. This Consent service is valid until your engagement with the Company ceases or you notify us via the Withdraw Consent Form, after which all of your personal data shall be removed from the Company records.

Summary of your legal rights
