Which personal data do we collect?

This Privacy Statement relates to all personal data that we receive from you and that we collect and process about you (i) in the context of your application and the resulting recruitment process or (ii) for inclusion in our database.

These personal data include: identification and contact details, personal characteristics (such as gender and date of birth), education and work experience (including results, certificates, degrees, references), job preferences, interests, hobbies, video material, audio material, financial data (e.g. current and desired salary), all data in your CV and cover letter, all publicly available data on public websites, and all other personal data you have provided to us orally or in writing in the context of your application.

How do we use your personal data?

Your personal data will be used in the context of your application and recruitment process, including for:

  • evaluating your skills, qualifications and interests against our career opportunities;
  • checking your data, your references and/or conducting background checks (where applicable);
  • communication concerning the recruitment process and your application; and
  • implementing improvements to the application and recruitment process within Waddington Europe.

The processing for purposes 1, 2 and 3 described above are necessary for the potential conclusion of an agreement between you and Waddington Europe and the processing for purpose 4 is based on the legitimate interest of Waddington Europe to improve its processes based on your application and recruitment procedure.

Who has access to your personal data?

As a global company, we encourage global mobility and our employees regularly move into other jobs in other countries. Consequently, your personal data can be shared between a select group of authorised recruitment officers in affiliates of The Waddington Group globally. If you would prefer for us not to share your personal data in this way, then please let the hiring manager know or contact our Data Privacy Committee at we.hr@novolex.com.

Within these entities, the following staff members have access to your data:

  • staff members of the HR department;
  • staff members of the financial department;
  • managers.

In certain cases, technical staff members may have access to your personal data, but only insofar this is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of our technical systems.

Waddington Europe may make use of external service providers or third parties for any of the purposes described above (e.g. recruitment websites or agencies conducting background checks). In such a case, access to your personal data will be limited to the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, and in accordance with the requirements of the applicable data protection legislation.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We will retain your personal data and consider you for other suitable positions for a maximum term of 2 years unless a shorter period is prescribed by applicable local law, in which case your personal data will be deleted in accordance with the maximum term permitted. If you would not like to be considered for other positions, please let the hiring manager know or contact our Data Privacy Committee at we.hr@novolex.com.

If your application is successful, your personal data obtained in the context of the application and recruitment procedure will be included your personnel file. You will then be informed separately of how Waddington Europe processes personal data of personnel.

Accessing and correcting your personal data

You have a legal right to access your personal data, to have them corrected, to have them erased, or to receive them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format that can be transferred to another party.
