Applying for a job
We ask for your personal details including name and contact details. We will ask you about you previous experience, education, referees and for answers to questions relevant to the role you have applied for. Our Recruitment and HR teams will have access to all of this information. If you are successful, the information you provide during the application process will be retained by us as part of your employee file for the duration of your employment. If you are unsuccessful at any stage of the process, the information you have provided until that point will be permanently deleted and/or disposed of via confidential waste. Remedi processes your job application data for the purpose of its legitimate interest to process your HR information.
Complaints/feedback and enquiries
When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint. We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant does not want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis. We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘data minimisation’ principle. Similarly, where enquiries/feedback are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide. Remedi undertakes the processing of your Complaints/feedback and enquiries data as part of its legitimate interests.
