If you apply for a job at True Story

Personal data and some sensitive personal data are collected during the recruitment and selection process. This may be in response to an advert or a search on LinkedIn, and occasionally CV’s are received on a speculative basis without a specific vacancy in mind.

The data is collected by the HR department at True Story. The data is collected so that it may be used by HR and the relevant line manager to carry out a recruitment and selection process. Successful candidates will be offered a position and on acceptance become employees whose data is then collected and processed for the proper management of the employment contract.
Data collected and stored is:

• Personal details such as name address date of birth, telephone number, e mail address
• Education and employment history including qualifications gained.
• Details on any disability you have requiring reasonable adjustments during the recruitment exercise
• Notes taken during any interview

If there is no suitable vacancy currently available or if your application is unsuccessful, with your consent, your data will be stored for a maximum of 2 years and may be used again to consider you for future suitable vacancies that may arise during that time frame.

After 2 years the data is considered out of date and therefore will be deleted if stored electronically or securely destroyed in the case of manual files.

You will be asked to consent specifically to True Story using your data in this way. You are not obliged to consent and if you do not reply to say that you consent to us storing your data, it will be destroyed securely or deleted immediately.
