What is the Purpose of this document?
This privacy notice describes the types of personal data we collect about job applicants, how we use this information, with whom we share it, and the rights of applicants regarding our use of their information.
Data Controller
Farnborough Airport Ltd is a “data controller”. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you. This privacy notice makes you aware of how and why your personal data will be used, namely for the purposes of the recruitment exercise, and how long it will usually be retained for. It provides you with certain information that must be provided under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

How we will use information about you.
We will use the personal information we collect about you to:
It is in our legitimate interests to process your personal data to decide whether to appoint you since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint someone to that relevant role.
We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment with you.
Having received your CV and covering letter, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the role or work. If we decide to offer you the role or work, we will then take up references and carry out a criminal record and/or carry out any other necessary check before confirming your appointment.
If you fail to provide personal information
If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a driving license check or references for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further due to our CAA legal requirements.
How we use particularly Sensitive Personal information
We will use information about your disability status to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during an interview.
Information about Criminal Convictions
We will collect certificates from the DBS. We are required to carry out a criminal record check to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role. We are legally required by the CAA to carry out criminal record checks to be able to issue an airport pass.
We have in place appropriate safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.
Automated Decision-making
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
DATA SHARING
Why might you share my personal information with third parties?
We will only share your personal information with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your application: the security company in place on the airport. All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
DATA RETENTION
How long will you use my information for?
We will retain your personal information for a period of 6 months after we have communicated to you our decision about whether to appoint you to the role. We retain your personal information for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
