7. The data controller shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate, compliance with the principles.

2. Legal bases for processing

JMS Recruitment Limited will only process personal data where it has a legal basis for doing so (see Annex A). Where JMS Recruitment Limited does not have a legal reason for processing personal data any processing will be a breach of the Data Protection Laws.

JMS Recruitment Limited will review the personal data it holds on a regular basis to ensure it is being lawfully processed and it is accurate, relevant and up to date and those people listed in the Appendix shall be responsible for doing this.

Before transferring personal data to any third party (such as past, current or prospective employers, suppliers, customers and clients, intermediaries such as umbrella companies, persons making an enquiry or complaint and any other third party (such as software solutions providers and back office support)), JMS Recruitment Limited will establish that it has a legal reason for making the transfer.

3. Privacy by design and by default

JMS Recruitment Limited has implemented measures and procedures that adequately protect the privacy of individuals and ensures that data protection is integral to all processing activities. This includes implementing measures such as:

  • anonymization
  • cyber security

JMS Recruitment Limited may provide this information orally if requested to do so by the individual.

Where JMS Recruitment Limited collects personal data from the individual, JMS Recruitment Limited will give the individual a privacy notice at the time when it first obtains the personal data.

Where JMS Recruitment Limited collects personal data other than from the individual directly, it will give the individual a privacy notice within a reasonable period after obtaining the personal data, but at the latest within one month.

3. Rectification

The individual or another data controller at the individual’s request, has the right to ask JMS Recruitment Limited to rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning an individual.

If JMS Recruitment Limited has given the personal data to any third parties it will tell those third parties that it has received a request to rectify the personal data unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold – however JMS Recruitment Limited will not be in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
 

4. Erasure

The individual or another data controller at the individual’s request, has the right to ask JMS Recruitment Limited to erase an individual’s personal data.

If JMS Recruitment Limited receives a request to erase it will ask the individual if s/he wants his personal data to be removed entirely or whether s/he is happy for his or her details to be kept on a list of individuals who do not want to be contacted in the future (for a specified period or otherwise). JMS Recruitment Limited cannot keep a record of individuals whose data it has erased so the individual may be contacted again by JMS Recruitment Limited should JMS Recruitment Limited come into possession of the individual’s personal data at a later date.

If JMS Recruitment Limited has made the data public, it shall take reasonable steps to inform other data controllers and data processors processing the personal data to erase the personal data, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation.

If JMS Recruitment Limited has given the personal data to any third parties it will tell those third parties that it has received a request to erase the personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold – however JMS Recruitment Limited will not be in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
 

5. Restriction of processing

The individual or a data controller at the individual’s request, has the right to ask JMS Recruitment Limited to restrict its processing of an individual’s personal data where:

  • The individual challenges the accuracy of the personal data;
  • The processing is unlawful and the individual opposes its erasure;
  • JMS Recruitment Limited no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the personal data is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • The individual has objected to processing (on the grounds of a public interest or legitimate interest) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of JMS Recruitment Limited override those of the individual.

If JMS Recruitment Limited has given the personal data to any third parties it will tell those third parties that it has received a request to restrict the personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Those third parties should also rectify the personal data they hold – however JMS Recruitment Limited will not be in a position to audit those third parties to ensure that the rectification has occurred.
 

6. Data portability

The individual shall have the right to receive personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to JMS Recruitment Limited, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another data controller in circumstances where:

  • The processing is based on the individual’s consent or a contract; and
  • The processing is carried out by automated means.

Where feasible, JMS Recruitment Limited will send the personal data to a named third party on the individual’s request.
 

7. Object to processing

The individual has the right to object to their personal data being processed based on a public interest or a legitimate interest. The individual will also be able to object to the profiling of their data based on a public interest or a legitimate interest.

JMS Recruitment Limited shall cease processing unless it has compelling legitimate grounds to continue to process the personal data which override the individual’s interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The individual has the right to object to their personal data for direct marketing.
 

8. Enforcement of rights

All requests regarding individual rights should be sent to the person whose details are listed in the Appendix.

JMS Recruitment Limited shall act upon any subject access request, or any request relating to rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability or objection or automated decision making processes or profiling within one month of receipt of the request. JMS Recruitment Limited may extend this period for two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and the number of requests.

Where JMS Recruitment Limited considers that a request under this section is manifestly unfounded or excessive due to the request’s repetitive nature JMS Recruitment Limited may either refuse to act on the request or may charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs involved.

9. Automated decision making

JMS Recruitment Limited will not subject individuals to decisions based on automated processing that produce a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on the individual, except where the automated decision:

  • Is necessary for the entering into or performance of a contract between the data controller and the individual;
  • Is authorised by law; or
  • The individual has given their explicit consent.

JMS Recruitment Limited will not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling using the personal data of a child.

  • JMS Recruitment Limited has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures to the personal data affected by the breach, in particular to make the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it, such as encryption.
  • JMS Recruitment Limited has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of the individual is no longer likely to materialise.
