Data protection statement

Personal information about candidates which we obtain in the course of considering their suitability for employment will be stored and processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The data will be processed in relation to their application to work for Experian or for the inclusion in their personal records if they become an Experian employee.

In processing this information, Experian may use the services of third parties, possibly based outside the UK or European Economic Area. However all third parties are thoroughly vetted by Experian and a candidate’s information will only be used for the purposes of assessing and processing their application.

The information collected in our database will be retained for reference and profile matching purposes and put forward where appropriate to selected members of Experian HR and line managers when recruiting for future opportunities that match a candidate’s profile.

It is the candidate’s responsibility to maintain and update their data held in this system, however Experian may from time to time request, via email, that they update their data. Candidates have the right to access and update their data at any time by accessing this system. Data will not be kept for longer than is necessary and will be removed from our database at their request. If a candidate wishes Experian to delete their profile, they should contact us directly.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the computer you are using for the processing of data is adequately secured and protected against malicious software, such as trojans, computer viruses and worm programs. You are aware of the fact that without adequate security measures (e.g. secure web browser configuration, up-to-date antivirus software, personal firewall software, no usage of software from dubious sources) there is a risk that the data and passwords you use to protect access to data, could be disclosed to unauthorized third parties.
