3. Why we use recruitment information
We may use your information to:
- receive and review your application or expression of interest;
- assess your suitability for available driving or other roles;
- contact you about your application;
- identify roles that may match your experience and preferences;
- arrange interviews or further discussions;

- manage the recruitment and selection process;

4. Lawful bases
Depending on the circumstances, we may process recruitment information because:
Pre-contractual steps
Processing is necessary in order to take steps at your request before potentially entering into an employment or engagement contract.
Legitimate interests
We have a legitimate interest in recruiting suitable personnel, assessing applicants and maintaining appropriate recruitment records.
Legal obligations
Certain information may need to be processed to comply with employment, immigration, transport, driving, health and safety or other applicable legal obligations.
Consent
Where we ask for specific consent, for example to retain your application for consideration for future opportunities beyond the normal recruitment period, you may withdraw that consent.
5. Special category information
The initial website application form is not intended to request sensitive personal information.
At a later stage, it may be necessary to process limited special category information where relevant and lawful, for example information relating to health where needed for workplace adjustments or legal employment requirements.
Where such information is required, we will process it only where an appropriate legal condition applies.
6. Who may receive recruitment information?
Recruitment information may be accessed by personnel who reasonably need it for recruitment, management or administration.
Where necessary, information may also be shared with:
- recruitment or employment service providers;
- IT and website service providers;
- professional advisers;
- background, qualification or licence verification providers where applicable;
- regulators or public authorities where required by law.
We do not sell recruitment information.
7. References and verification
If your application progresses, we may request references or verify information relevant to your suitability for the role.
Where practical, we will tell you before contacting referees or carrying out significant checks.
8. How long we keep recruitment information
If your application is unsuccessful or does not progress, we will normally retain relevant recruitment records for up to 6 months after the recruitment decision or the end of the relevant recruitment process.
If you specifically agree that we may retain your information for future opportunities, we may retain it for up to 12 months, after which we may contact you for renewed permission or delete the information.
If you become employed or engaged by I&E Haulage, relevant recruitment information may become part of your personnel record and be retained under our employment-record retention arrangements.
Information may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with a legal requirement or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
9. International processing
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where international processing occurs, we take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information is protected in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect recruitment information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure.
11. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to:
- access your personal information;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion in certain circumstances;
- restrict processing in certain circumstances;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format where the right applies;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

12. Automated decisions

Recruitment decisions involve human assessment.
13. Providing information
You are not obliged to submit an application through the website.
However, if you choose to apply, certain information is necessary for us to assess and respond to your application.
Fields marked as required in the application form must be completed before the form can be submitted.
14. Future vacancies
Where no suitable vacancy is currently available, you may register your interest in future opportunities.
If we intend to retain your application specifically for future recruitment beyond our normal recruitment period, we will rely on an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, ask for your agreement.

If you have concerns about our use of your recruitment information, please contact us first.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
