What is personal information
Personal information is information that identifies you and is about you. It includes information such as your name, address, contact details and date of birth. Sensitive personal information known as special categories of data includes details such as health, race or ethnic origin and criminal offences.
What we collect
Foresters collects information that is specifically provided by you as part of an application process. We will collect the following (but not limited to):
your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number;

information about your entitlement to work in the UK;
information about any spent or unspent convictions (applicable to the position).

How we collect your information
We collect this information in a variety of ways. For example, information might be contained in your application form, CV or resume, received via a recruitment agency, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through interviews or other forms of assessment including online tests.
Foresters will request information from third parties only once a job offer has been made to you and accepted and will inform you that it is doing so. We will seek references supplied by former employers, information from employment background check providers, credit checks and Disclosure and Barring checks as applicable to the role.
Information will be stored in your online candidate account, and/or within the networx system. Should you be offered and accept a position we the system will upload process and transfer your details (including salary, job title and working hours) from the networx system, in addition to information you provide on our onboarding portal (including bank details and national insurance number) to our HR and Payroll system and relevant data to other Foresters IT systems (including email).

Why does Foresters process personal information
Details you provide in this application:
will be held on our computer systems and may be downloaded or printed by us;
will be used to deal with your application;
will be made available to us and our processors;
will be used for communication with you regarding the vacancy;
will be used to satisfy legal requirements;
will be used for statistical analysis;

Foresters needs to process information prior to entering into a contract with you. We also need to process your information to enter into a contract with you.
In some cases, Foresters needs to process information to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts or to process information from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
Our recruitment processes use limited automated decision-making. For example where driving is a pre-requisite to a position an automated decision will be made based on whether you have the legal right to drive in the UK.
Foresters processes health information if we need to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability. This is to carry out our legal obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
For some roles, the organisation is obliged to seek information about criminal convictions and offences. Where the organisation seeks this information during the recruitment process, we do so because it is necessary to assess an applicant’s overall suitability for the position.
Equality data collected is pseudo-anonymised (kept separate and hidden providing extra protection and safeguards) to ensure the data cannot be attributed to an identifiable person. If your application is successful we will use your equality data for equality monitoring purposes.
Who has access to information
Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment process. This includes members of the HR and recruitment team, interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles. Your information will be shared externally with an online testing provider where relevant to the role.
If you are offered a position a minimum amount of data will be passed to a third party, DocuSign, to process your contract of employment and associated documentation. Please click on the link to view their privacy policy https://www.docusign.co.uk/company/privacy-policy
We will not share your information with any other third party, unless your application for employment is successful and Foresters makes you an offer of employment. We will only then share necessary information with a third party to produce your contact of employment, with your former employers for the purposes of assessing your suitability for the position, employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks, credit checks either directly or indirectly through credit reference agencies and a Standard or Basic disclosure via the Disclosure and Barring Service to obtain necessary criminal records checks as applicable to the role.
Should you be successful in your application for employment your information would be shared with the Forester Group of Companies including outside of the European Economic Area, namely our headquarters in Canada, for HR and training processing purposes.
