LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

In case Personal Data is processed for recruitment purposes, Stork UK needs to process such Personal Data to take steps at the applicant’s request prior to entering into a contract with the applicant. It may also need to process Personal Data to enter into a contract with the applicant. Failing to provide the information hinders Stork UK’s ability to process your application properly or at all.

We also hold Personal Data Stork UK’s legitimate business interests and legal rights, including but not limited to, use in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory and investigative purposes (including disclosure of such information in connection with legal process or litigation).

External recipients

Stork UK discloses Personal Data to third parties if it is legally obliged or to carry out employment-related functions, which require processing of Personal Data, such as e.g. insurance and pension related Personal Data. In all such instances where Stork UK discloses Personal Data to third parties, Stork UK shall conclude a written data processing agreement to ensure appropriate handling and data protection prior to disclosing any Personal Data. Stork UK discloses Personal Data to the following categories of third parties:

Stork will also provide Personal Data to external parties that are based in countries outside the European Economic Area. Stork has entered into agreements with these external parties too, because of which the level of protection provided in relation to this data is the same as it would be in Europe. Within Stork, binding company rules will be in place to ensure that the same protection is provided for Personal Data at all Stork locations, both within Europe and elsewhere.
