those purposes
3. Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes
4. Accurate and kept up to date
5. Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about
6. Kept securely

How do we collect your data

We collect information that is specifically provided by you as part of an application process or sometimes from an employment
agency or background check provider.

What do we do with your information

We may use your information on any of the following lawful grounds:

a. For compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or

  • To grow our business

All applications are viewed by a member of our Recruitment Team and no automated decisions are made in relation to your
application.

How long do we keep your information for

We will store your application data for up to 6 months after the vacancy has closed. After this period, it will be destroyed.

How we may collect more data from you

Should you be successful in being offered a role, you will be asked to provide further information as part of our Pre-Employment

Who do we share your information with

We may share your information with our affiliates, accountants, lawyers, auditors, insurers, professional advisors, or third party
service providers who provide services to us. We may also disclose information we have a legal or regulatory right or obligation
to report. Further, we may share your information with third parties to whom we sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or
our assets.

It is our commitment that prior to disclosing any personal information about you to another organisation we have taken all
reasonable steps to ensure that that organisation will hold and protect your information with adequate security measures and in
accordance with relevant regulation.

How do we keep your information safe

We protect your information with appropriate security measures under the laws and regulations that apply to prevent your personal
data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed without authorisation. We confirm our security measures are subject to regular testing and updated as appropriate to the level of data that we hold.

We have procedures in place to deal with suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a
breach if we are legally required to do so.

What are your rights regarding your information

You have explicit rights concerning your personal information and we will ensure that your rights are protected while your data is
in our possession. Your rights include the following:

  • Right of Access – you may request a copy of all the personal information we hold about you and we will respond within one
    month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, we may extend this period by a
    further two calendar months and we shall explain our reasons.
  • Right of Deletion – You may wish to have certain data we hold deleted and we will comply with this right where, for example,
    it is no longer necessary for us to hold the data or if there is no lawful ground for processing.
  • Right of Rectification – You have a right to request that any incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete data is updated, corrected
    and/or completed.
  • Right of Restriction – You may wish to restrict us from using your data where, for example, you contest the accuracy of
    the data.
  • Right to Object – You have a right to object to us using your data where processing is carried out for our legitimate interest.
    We will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
  • Right to Data Portability – You have a right to request we share your data with another organisation and we will assist with
    that process where possible.

Complaints

If you wish to make a complaint then you may do so in person, by telephone, in writing and/or by email. Please note that all
complaints are dealt with according to our complaints policy and will be fully logged and investigated.

You can also contact the CNPD (“Comissão Nacional de Protecção De Dados”) which is the national supervisory authority for data
protection issues (www.cnpd.pt).

General

We will not transfer your data to a country outside of the European Economic Area unless that country ensures an adequate level
of data protection, has appropriate safeguards in place or relies on one of the derogations provided for under applicable law and
regulation.

This Statement may be updated by us at any time.
