1. What information do we collect about you?             

Personal data we may collect: 

• Names and titles 

• Gender (for the purposes of gender pay gap reporting) 

• Marital status 

• Date of birth 

• National Insurance number / PPS number 

• Driving license details 

• Address 

• Email address 

• Contact details 

• Nationality 

• Passport details 

• Proof of identity  

• Curriculum vitae 

• Your image (Photograph / video / webcam recording of you / CCTV footage)  

• Bank account details 

• Visa details 

• Emergency contact details 

• Details of your dependents and beneficiaries  

• Details of criminal convictions and offences  

• Your terms and conditions of employment or engagement

Special category data 

• Diversity and inclusion (D&I) data 

• Medical details 

• Biometric data (thermal images using a thermal imaging camera) 

We need to collect this personal data from you to enable us to process your data for legal, personal, administrative and management purposes and to enable us to meet our legal obligations as an employer. 

In accordance with the Data Protection Legislation we have established the following lawful reasons for the processing of this data.   

• In some instances you will have provided your consent to the collection and sharing of this information;  

• Necessary for the performance of a contract which you are a party to; or 

• Necessary for the compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or 

• Necessary for the purposes of carrying out the obligations and exercising our or your specific rights in the field of employment; or 

• Necessary for the vital interests of the individual; or 

• Necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by us, where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.  In this instance a legitimate interest assessment (“LIA”) will have been conducted to (i) identify a legitimate interest; (ii) show that the processing is necessary to achieve it; and (iii) balance it against your interests, rights and freedoms.  

Information about criminal convictions and offences warrants a higher level of protection. We will only process data relating to your criminal convictions and offences when permitted by law, or where provided voluntarily by you. We envisage that we may be required to process such information in order to meet our regulatory obligations in respect of the employment of staff within a financial services organisation and as authorised by local laws. If you are an EU citizen and we are required to process data relating to your criminal convictions and offences in relation to NorthStandard, or any UK or EEA entity, we will seek your consent. 

 

 

Furthermore the NorthStandard Group is able to process special category data where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, in connection with insurance or pension purposes where necessary and proportionate for those purposes, or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity. 

 

There is currently no specific legal obligation to obtain D&I, but NorthStandard’s financial services regulators have issued expectations that firms ensure D&I is appropriately dealt with.  As a result, D&I data will be collected on a strictly voluntary basis to help NorthStandard meet financial service regulators’ expectations (but not prescribed requirements) and consider its own stance on D&I.   As some of the data is special category data, consent is the lawful basis. 

 

NorthStandard may also process special category data for the periodic ‘fit and proper’ checks or performance of its health and safety obligations required by law.  Such processing is allowed where the processing is necessary for the purposes of performing or exercising obligations or rights which are conferred by law on the controller or the data subject in connection with employment, social security or social protection and when the processing is carried out, the controller has an appropriate policy document in place (DPA 2018 Schedule 1, Part 1, Para 1, and s. 46 of the Irish Act). 

 

CCTV operates both outside and inside our offices Piraeus, Greece and Newcastle, UK. Under the Data Protection Laws, we are permitted to do this when necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests in protecting the safety and security of NorthStandard Group staff, visitors and property.
