  • BIO Recruitment Process

    Data protection privacy notice (recruitment)
    This additional notice explains what personal data (personal information) we will hold about you, how we collect it, and how we will use and may share personal information during the application process. Please ensure that you read this notice (sometimes referred to as a ‘privacy notice’) and any other similar notice we may provide to you from time to time when we collect or process personal information.
    Who collects the personal information
    The BIO Agency Limited (‘Company’) is a ‘data controller’ and gathers and uses certain personal information. This personal information is also used by our affiliated entities and group companies, namely Tech Mahindra Plc and its subsidiaries (our ‘group companies’) and so, in this notice, references to ‘we’ or ‘us’ mean the Company and our group companies.
    Data protection principles
    The data protection principles which we will apply when gathering and using personal information, are set out in our Data Protection (Employment) Policy) which is available on request from privacy@thebioagency.com.
    About the personal information we collect and hold
    A table summarising the personal information we collect and hold during the recruitment process is below. We seek to ensure that our personal information collection and processing is always proportionate. We will notify you of any changes to personal information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.
    Where personal information may be held
    Personal information may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, and third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents and in cloud-based IT services which could include countries that do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the UK, for the reasons described above. We have security measures in place to seek to ensure that there is appropriate security for personal information we hold.
    How long we keep your personal information
    We keep the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for no longer than is necessary. How long we keep your personal information will depend on whether your application is successful and you become employed by us, the nature of the personal information concerned and the purposes for which it is processed.
    We will keep recruitment personal information (including interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable, taking into account the limitation periods for potential claims and our contractual obligations to others, after which they will be destroyed. If there is a clear business reason for keeping recruitment records for longer than the recruitment period, we may do so but will first consider whether the records can be pseudonymised, and the longer period for which they will be kept.
    If your application is successful, we will keep only the recruitment personal information that is necessary in relation to your employment. For further information, see our data protection privacy notice (employment).

  • BIO Recruitment Process

    Data protection privacy notice (recruitment)
    This additional notice explains what personal data (personal information) we will hold about you, how we collect it, and how we will use and may share personal information during the application process. Please ensure that you read this notice (sometimes referred to as a ‘privacy notice’) and any other similar notice we may provide to you from time to time when we collect or process personal information.
    Who collects the personal information
    The BIO Agency Limited (‘Company’) is a ‘data controller’ and gathers and uses certain personal information. This personal information is also used by our affiliated entities and group companies, namely Tech Mahindra Plc and its subsidiaries (our ‘group companies’) and so, in this notice, references to ‘we’ or ‘us’ mean the Company and our group companies.
    Data protection principles
    The data protection principles which we will apply when gathering and using personal information, are set out in our Data Protection (Employment) Policy) which is available on request from privacy@thebioagency.com.
    About the personal information we collect and hold
    A table summarising the personal information we collect and hold during the recruitment process is below. We seek to ensure that our personal information collection and processing is always proportionate. We will notify you of any changes to personal information we collect or to the purposes for which we collect and process it.
    Where personal information may be held
    Personal information may be held at our offices and those of our group companies, and third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents and in cloud-based IT services which could include countries that do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in the UK, for the reasons described above. We have security measures in place to seek to ensure that there is appropriate security for personal information we hold.
    How long we keep your personal information
    We keep the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for no longer than is necessary. How long we keep your personal information will depend on whether your application is successful and you become employed by us, the nature of the personal information concerned and the purposes for which it is processed.
    We will keep recruitment personal information (including interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable, taking into account the limitation periods for potential claims and our contractual obligations to others, after which they will be destroyed. If there is a clear business reason for keeping recruitment records for longer than the recruitment period, we may do so but will first consider whether the records can be pseudonymised, and the longer period for which they will be kept.
    If your application is successful, we will keep only the recruitment personal information that is necessary in relation to your employment. For further information, see our data protection privacy notice (employment).
