Equal opportunities monitoring

Inclusive Boards is committed to ensuring that our recruitment processes are aligned with our approach to equal opportunities.

  • Some of the data we may collect about you falls under the umbrella of “diversity information”.

Where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, Inclusive Boards will use this data on an anonymised basis to monitor our compliance with our equal opportunities policy. We may also disclose this (suitably anonymised where relevant) data to our clients where this is contractually required or when specifically requested by clients to enable them to comply with their own employment processes.
  • Such data is referred to as ‘sensitive’ personal data and stricter data protection rules apply. Inclusive Boards requires your explicit consent before we can utilise/share such data. We’ll ask for your consent by offering you an opt-in. This means that you must explicitly and clearly state that you agree for Inclusive Boards to collect and utilise such data. This is often captured through the Diversity Monitoring Form online.
  • Inclusive Boards may collect other sensitive personal data, such as health-related information, religious affiliation, or details of any criminal convictions (where appropriate and in accordance with local laws) and if it is required for a job vacancy that you are interested in applying for.

Legal claims

Currently, all Inclusive Boards recruitment activities involve human decision-making during the full cycle process. Looking ahead, Inclusive Boards may choose to utilise automated technologies such as expert systems or machine learning to complete the candidate selection process from end-to-end, where appropriate and in accordance with any local laws and requirements

Where necessary, Inclusive Boards will seek your consent to carry out some or all these activities. If you do not consent to profiling, your application will continue to be reviewed manually for opportunities you apply for, but your profile will not be automatically considered for alternative roles.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

  • Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Services, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Services over time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyse and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.
  • Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
  • Third-Party Advertisers. We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Services. These companies may use information about your visits to our Website(s) and other websites that are contained in web cookies and other tracking technologies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short:  We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short:  We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law. 

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 3 years (or for such longer period as we believe in good faith that the law or relevant regulators require us to preserve your data).

  • For those candidates whose services are provided via a Third-Party company or other entity, “meaningful contact” with you means meaningful contact with the company or entity which supplies your services. Where we are notified by such company or entity that it no longer has that relationship with you, we will retain your data for no longer than three years from that point.
  • When we refer to “meaningful contact”, we mean, for example, communication between us (either verbal or written), or where you are actively engaging with our online services. If you are a candidate, we will consider there to be meaningful contact with you if you submit your updated CV onto our website or take part in any of our online training. We will also consider it meaningful contact if you communicate with us about potential roles, either by verbal or written communication or click through from any of our marketing communications. Your receipt, opening or reading of an email or other digital messages from us will not count as meaningful contact – this will only occur in cases where you click-through or reply directly.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE? 

In Short:  We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

7. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short:  You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services. To opt-out of interest-based advertising by advertisers on our Services contact a member of our team directly from here.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS, AMEND OR TAKE BACK THE PERSONAL DATA THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US?

One of the GDPR’s main objectives is to protect and clarify the rights of EU citizens and individuals within the EU with regards to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data.

DATA SUBJECT USER RIGHTS

The GDPR provides the following rights for individuals/data subjects:

RIGHT TO OBJECT

This right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following four reasons: (i) our legitimate interests; (ii) to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority; (iii) to send you direct marketing materials; and (iv) for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes.
The “legitimate interests” and “direct marketing” categories above are the ones most likely to apply to our Website Users, Candidates, Clients and Suppliers. If your objection relates to Inclusive Boards, processing your personal data because we deem it necessary for your legitimate interests, we must act on your objection by ceasing the activity in question unless:

  • Inclusive Boards can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which overrides your interests
  • Inclusive Boards is processing your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

If your objection relates to direct marketing, Inclusive Boards must act on your objection by ceasing this activity.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

Where Inclusive Boards has obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities – for e.g. for our marketing arrangements or automatic profiling, you may withdraw this consent at any time. Inclusive Boards will cease to carry out the specified activity that you previously consented to unless we consider there’s an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose; in which case, Inclusive Boards will inform you of this condition.

RIGHT TO ACCESS

More commonly known as DATA SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST (DSAR)
You may request Inclusive Boards to confirm what information we hold on you at any time, and submit a request to modify, update or delete such data. Inclusive Boards will ask you to verify your identity and request further information about your request.

Should Inclusive Boards provide you with access to the information we hold, you will not incur a cost unless your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive”.

Should you request additional copies of your data, Inclusive Boards may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, Inclusive Boards may refuse your request. If we refuse your request, we will always share the reasons for doing so.

RIGHT TO ERASURE

You have the right to request Inclusive Boards erases your personal data in certain instances. The data must meet one of the following criteria:

  • The data no longer necessary for the purpose for which we originally collected and/or processed
  • Where previously given, you have withdrawn your consent for Inclusive Boards to process your data, and no other valid reason exists for Inclusive Boards to continue processing
  • The data has been processed unlawfully i.e. in a manner which does not comply with the GDPR
  • It’s a requirement for the data to be erased for Inclusive Boards to comply with our legal obligations as a data controller
  • If Inclusive Boards processes the data because we believe it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests, you object to the processing and, Inclusive Boards is unable to demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for our continued processing.
  • Inclusive Boards would only be entitled to refuse to comply with your request for one of the following reasons:
  • To exercise the right of freedom of expression and information
  • To comply with legal obligations or for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority
  • For public health reasons in the public interest
  • For archival, research or statistical purposes
  • To exercise or defend a legal claim

When complying with a valid request for the erasure of data we will take all necessary steps to delete the relevant data.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have the right to request that Inclusive Boards restricts the processing of your personal data in certain instances. This means that Inclusive Boards can only continue to store your data and will not be able to carry out any further processing activities until either:

  • One of the circumstances outlined below is resolved
  • You consent
  • Further processing is necessary for either the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, the protection of the rights of another individual, or reasons of important EU or Member State public interest

The circumstances in which you are entitled to request that Inclusive Boards restrict the processing of your personal data are:

  • Where you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that Inclusive Boards is processing. In this instance, our processing of your personal data will be restricted for the period during which the accuracy of the data is verified
  • Where you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests.
    In this instance, you can request that the data be restricted while Inclusive Boards verify our grounds for processing your personal data
  • Where our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer Inclusive Boards to restrict our processing rather than erasing your data
  • Where Inclusive Boards has no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If we have shared your personal data with Third Parties, Inclusive Boards will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Inclusive Boards will notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data.

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

You also have the right to request that Inclusive Boards rectifies any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold on you. If Inclusive Boards has shared this personal data with any Third Parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or, involves disproportionate effort. Where appropriate, Inclusive Boards will also inform you which Third Parties we’ve disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data to. Where Inclusive Boards thinks it is reasonable not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.

RIGHT OF DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to transfer your personal data between data controllers. This means that you can transfer your Inclusive Boards account details to another online platform. To allow you to do so, Inclusive Boards will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format that is password-protected so that you are able to transfer the data to another online platform.

Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data on your behalf. This right of data portability applies to:

  • personal data that Inclusive Boards processes automatically
  • personal data provided by yourself
  • personal data that Inclusive Boards processes based on your consent or,
    to fulfil a contract

Should you wish to exercise any of these rights, or withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data, where consent is Inclusive Boards’ legal basis for processing your personal data, please contact in writing to data@inclusiveboards.co.uk

Please note that Inclusive Boards may retain a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.

It is important that the personal data Inclusive Boards holds on you is clean, current and accurate. Please keep Inclusive Boards informed if your personal information changes during the period for which we hold your data.

To get in touch about your user rights, please write to Inclusive Boards. 16 Upper Woburn Place. WC1H 0AF or send an email to data@inclusiveboards.co.uk  We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within one month (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled).

No uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.

GLOSSARY

Candidate – includes applicants for all roles advertised or promoted by Inclusive Boards, including permanent, part-time and temporary positions and freelance roles with Inclusive Boards clients; as well as persons who have supplied a speculative CV to Inclusive Boards not in relation to a specific job. Individual contractors, freelance workers and employees of suppliers or other third parties put forward for roles with Inclusive Boards will be treated as candidates for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. In addition, any persons Inclusive Boards has speculative conversations with regarding potential job opportunities are also included.

Clients – this category covers our customers, clients, and others to whom Inclusive Boards provides services in the course of its business.

Delete – while we will endeavour to permanently erase your personal data once it reaches the end of its retention period or where we receive a valid request from you to do so, some of your data may still exist within our systems, for example, if it is waiting to be over-written. For our purposes, this data has been put beyond use, meaning that, while it still exists on an archive system, this cannot be readily accessed by any of our operational systems, processes or employees.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – a European Union statutory instrument which aims to harmonise European data protection laws. It has an effective date of 25 May 2018, and any references to it should be construed accordingly to include any national legislation implementing it.

Other people whom Inclusive Boards may contact – these may include emergency contacts and referees for candidates and Inclusive Boards employees. We will only contact them in appropriate circumstances.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services – full or partial outsourcing of the recruitment process for permanent employees to a recruitment provider.

Employees – includes employees and interns engaged directly in the business of Inclusive Boards (or who have accepted an offer to be engaged) as well as certain other workers engaged in the business of providing services to Inclusive Boards (even though they are not classed as employees). Likewise, independent contractors and consultants performing services for Inclusive Boards fall within the definition of a ‘Supplier’ for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Suppliers – refers to partnerships and companies (including sole traders), and typical workers such as independent contractors and freelance workers, who provide services to Inclusive Boards. In certain circumstances, Inclusive Boards will sub-contract the services it provides to clients to Third Party suppliers who perform services on Inclusive Boards’ behalf. In this context, suppliers that are individual contractors, freelance workers, or employees of suppliers will be treated as candidates for data protection purposes. Please note that in this context, Inclusive Boards requires Suppliers to communicate the relevant parts of this Privacy Policy (namely the sections directed at candidates) to their employees.
