The Right to Erasure & Retention of Data

Although you have the right to be forgotten, known as the right to erasure, your employer has a legal obligation to retain personnel records for a period of 6 years from the ending of your employment. One Degree North will review any request you make for erasure in its entirety but may not be able to honour the request due to our legal retention period guidelines. 

We review our retention periods for data collected and held on a regular basis and in line with Government guidelines. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity. We will only keep the information for as long as we have a clear business need for it, or to comply with our legal obligation. Once used, it will be disposed of securely.

Information you provide during the application process will be retained by us as part of your employee file for the duration of your employment plus 6 years following the end of your employment. This includes your criminal records declaration, fitness to work, records of any security checks and references.
