We will ensure that the information you submit to us via our website is only used for the purposes set out in this policy.

The Information We Collect

The Works Stores Limited may collect your personal details, including but not limited to your name and contact details (together with your email address) and other relevant information from your CV. Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, we may also collect information related to your health, diversity information or details of any criminal convictions.

How We Use Your Data

The personal information you provide to us is held, used and disclosed by us as follows:

  • To provide our recruitment services to you To enable you to submit your CV for general applications, to apply for specific jobs or to subscribe to job alerts.
  • To match your details with job vacancies to assist us in finding a position that is most suited to your skills and to send your personal information to Hiring Managers within the Company
  • To trusted third parties where we have retained them to provide services to the Company such as references, qualification and criminal checks and psychometric or skills tests.
  • We may also release personal information to regulatory or law enforcement agencies if they require us to do so. We will also disclose your information where we are permitted and requested to do so by law.
  • We may also seek your consent to collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for any other specific purpose not listed above.

How Long Do We Keep your Personal Data for?

We will remove your personal data from our systems if we have not had any meaningful contact with you for 12 months, 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), or where you are actively engaging with our online services. We will also consider it meaningful contact if you communicate with us about potential roles, either by verbal or written communication or click through from any of our marketing communications. Your receipt, opening or reading of an email or other digital message from us will not count as meaningful contact - this will only occur in cases where you click-through or reply directly.

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during the period for which we hold your data.

Accessing the Data we Hold on You

You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or Delete such information.

If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.

To get in touch about these rights, please contact our Recruitment Team. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within one month (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.
