In such cases, we will inform you and clarify the legal basis permitting us to do so. It’s important to note that, following the rules mentioned above, we may process your personal information without your explicit knowledge or consent when it is mandated or allowed by law.

We may process your data for the subsequent objectives:

• Compensating you and making deductions for tax, National Insurance contributions, and other lawful deductions.
• Furnishing you with any employee-related benefits that you are entitled to even after the conclusion of your employment.
• To reimburse you for expenses that you have incurred during the course of your employment.
• Coordinating with your pension provider and the trustees/administrators of pension schemes.
• Managing any contract that we have entered into with you.
• Business management and planning activities, which include accounting and auditing.
• Collecting evidence for potential grievance or disciplinary hearings.
• Handling legal disputes that involve you, as well as other employees, workers, and contractors, which may include workplace accidents.
• To prevent and identify instances of fraud.
• Ensuring network and information security, which involves preventing unauthorised access to our computers and electronic communication systems and thwarting the distribution of malicious software.
• Conducting data analytics studies, such as the staff survey, to assess and gain a deeper understanding of employee retention and attrition rates.
• Monitoring equality and diversity.
• Publicising our activities (e.g., group photos of events, site visits, etc.).

Some of the reasons for processing mentioned above may overlap, and multiple justifications may exist for our utilization of your personal information.

How we process “particular categories” of more sensitive personal information?

We may also retain and employ the following “particular categories” of notably sensitive personal information that we have gathered from you:

• Information related to your racial or ethnic background.
• Information about your health, including any medical conditions, health and sickness records (if any).
• Biometric data.
• Details about criminal convictions and offenses.

These “special categories” of notably sensitive personal data necessitate heightened levels of protection. We must have additional justifications for the storage and utilization of this type of personal information. Our data protection policy provides information about the safeguards that we are legally obligated to uphold when processing such data.

We might handle special categories of personal information in the following situations:

1. When it is necessary for us to fulfill our legal obligations or exercise rights pertaining to employment.
2. When it’s required, for the public interest, such as using information about your race, national or ethnic origin for the purpose of meaningful equality and diversity monitoring and reporting. Whenever, feasible, we would endeavor to anonymize this data.
3. In rare cases, we may request your explicit written consent to process particularly sensitive information. However, it’s important to note that we do not require your consent to utilize particular categories of your personal information when fulfilling our legal obligations or exercising specific rights related to employment law. If we do approach you for written consent, we will provide comprehensive information about the data we seek and the reasons for needing it. It allows you to make an informed decision about whether you wish to grant consent.

On less frequent occasions, we may process this type of information when it is necessary for legal claims or for the protection of your interests (or someone else’s interests), and you are unable to provide consent, or when you have already made the information publicly available.

With whom is the information shared?

We might disclose your data to third parties, which can include third-party service providers, government departments, and agencies.

We insist that third parties uphold the security of your data and handle it in compliance with legal regulations.

We may transfer your personal information to locations outside the United Kingdom. If we do so, you can anticipate that a comparable level of protection will be maintained concerning your personal information.

Stalwart Bridge Limited shares your data with:

• Occupational Pension Scheme Trustees and Administrators.
• Occupational Health providers screening

Retention

Stalwart Bridge Limited will retain your personal data only for the duration necessary to accomplish the objectives for which it was originally gathered.

Stalwart Bridge Limited has established a record retention schedule that specifies the duration for which we will retain information.

To establish the suitable retention period for personal data acquired during your employment, we take into account factors such as the volume, type, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm stemming from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the objectives for processing your personal data, whether those objectives can be achieved by alternative means, and the pertinent legal obligations.

In certain situations, we may anonymize your personal data, rendering it no longer identifiable to you. In such cases, we may use this anonymized information without providing additional notice to you. Once you cease to be an employee, we will retain and securely dispose of your personal data after the specified periods.

• For employees, we will retain your information for 12 months from the date of your departure, except in specific circumstances.
• Payroll, tax, and NIC (National Insurance Contributions) records must be retained for 6 years, as mandated by legal requirements.

It’s important to note that these retention periods are specific to your employment records and do not apply, for instance, to images and materials created and used for marketing and communication purposes (e.g., group photographs). Different types of information may have different retention requirements.
