Candidate privacy notice

The Parochial Church Council of Bishop Hannington Memorial Church is the data controller for your application.

We use it only to run our recruitment and selection process — to decide who to shortlist, interview and appoint.

Most of your information is used because you have asked us to consider you for a job, which is a step before entering a contract with you (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).

Your answer to the faith question is special category information. We use it under the employment condition in Schedule 1 of the Data Protection Act 2018, because this post has an occupational requirement that the post holder is a practising Christian.

If you are not appointed, we delete your application six months after the closing date.

If you are appointed, your application moves to your personnel file.

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to how we use it. Email hr@bhmc.org.uk.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can also contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
