The information you provide to us through this form and subsequently during the application process will be stored in our computer systems for the following periods:

1. Application Data

Following the outcome of the application process, data will be held in the recruitment system for a period of 365 calendar days, before any personal data will be removed from the myRecruit system.  Should the applicant be successful all relevant details will be passed to Anchor's HR system for the purpose of employment.

2. Speculative Application Data

Should you provide an application for the purposes of being considered or alerted of specific future vacancies, this data will remain on our system until you request to unsubscribe from this process.  An automated email will be sent to you every 6months to confirm you still wish to be considered as a speculative applicant by selecting a link on the email. If no response is provided the system will assume you wish to opt out and therefore will automatically remove your data from the system.

3. Talent Bank Data

Unsuccessful candidates may be considered as potential applicants for future vacancies and their data saved to a "Talent Bank". Anchor will seek your consent via email, before this data is saved.  Anchor will keep in regular contact with you should any suitable vacancies arise. 

Should you wish to be removed from the Talent Bank, or any other part of the system, at any stage, you can do so by sending a request to jobs@anchor.org.uk.

You have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of personal data that we hold about you as well as a right to object to and to a restriction of our processing of your personal data for the purposes described above.
Your rights as a data subject (please note that these do not apply in all circumstances), may include rights regarding automated decision making, including profiling.

If you would like more details about how we process personal information, our full privacy notice is available by visiting Privacy Notice. Should you have any questions or concerns or wish to exercise any of your information rights please contact our Data Protection Officer at data.protection@anchor.org.uk
