Criminal convictions and offences data

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you operate and on your specific role, we may collect information about your criminal convictions and offences if we offer you a position with us and you accept (conditional on checks and any other conditions, such as references, being satisfactory). We do this to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions and offences history which makes you unsuitable for the role. Our roles require a high degree of trust and integrity, and it is therefore best practice to undertake such checks and a pre-requisite in some instances. Should you not agree to undertake or complete this check, or BAP Pharma subsequently receives results which would indicate that it may not be appropriate to continue your application or employment, BAP reserves the right to withdraw any employment offer or end your employment, as applicable.

We may only use information relating to criminal convictions where the law allows us to do so. Where we are required to collect your consent prior to undertaking this check, we will request your consent. In other cases, we may not require your consent; this will usually be where such processing is necessary to carry out our obligations and provided we do so in line with our Data Protection Policy.

We have in place appropriate policies and safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.

Automated decision making

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.

How long we keep your Personal Data

We will retain your Personal Data for no longer than twelve (12) months after we have communicated to you our decision about whether to appoint you. We retain your Personal Data for that period so that we can show, in the event of a legal claim, that we have not discriminated against candidates on prohibited grounds and that we have conducted the recruitment exercise in a fair and transparent way.

We may also review your records during this period to determine whether we would like to invite you to apply for any future, similar roles. If you object to this processing, please contact us using the contact details in the Contact Us section below.

After this period, we will securely destroy your Personal Data in accordance with our data retention policy and relevant Data Protection Legislation.

The recipients of your Personal Data

We will only share your Personal Data with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your application: recruitment agencies, our HR management and recruitment system and parties involved with pre-employment checks, VISA applications and so on. All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your Personal Data in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International transfers of your Personal Data

BAP Pharma uses service providers in multiple countries. Therefore, we may need to transfer and use your Personal Data outside of the country where we collect it from you. In some cases, an adequacy decision is in place, which means the country of the third party receiving the data has been deemed to have adequate protections in place by the European Commission and/or UK government, and data can flow freely without any additional measures in place. In other cases, BAP Pharma implement appropriate measures to protect your Personal Data when we transfer your Personal Data outside of your home country. This includes having appropriate agreements in place to protect your data, such as data transfer agreements that incorporate standard data protection clauses. You can request a copy of the standard contractual clauses we use from our DPO using the contact details in the Contact Us section below.

How we protect your Personal Data

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. If you would like additional assurances regarding how we process data securely, please contact us as set out below.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
