2 WHAT DATA WE PROCESS

Worsley Training processes data on our:
• Clients,
• Prospects,
• Staff,
• Current and potential suppliers.  
2.1 CLIENTS
We process information on individuals who are clients of Worsley Training, or those looking to engage with us and use our services. We process this data so that we can engage with the individuals to provide them with our services, manage the administration that relate to the provision of our services, or we process the data as we are taking steps to enter into a contract to provide these services.
 
We capture information on these individuals through the various mechanisms used to engage with them. An example is the contact form on our website.
 
The information we capture on these individuals will include basic contact details such as name, telephone number and email address, some more technical information that is captured when our website is used (e.g. cookies and IP addresses), and postal address, so that we can contact them and set up meetings and engage in work with them.
 
We work with children as a part of our training services, but do not capture names or other personal data details on the children.
 
We use the legal basis of contract to process this data. We do not capture special category information on these individuals.
 
2.2 PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS
Worsley Training captures information on individuals who we believe could have a need for our services (prospective customers). We use this data for direct marketing.
 
We can either capture this data directly from the individuals in the process of selling to them, from their engagement with us, or we can licence this data from reputable data providers.
 
The information we capture on these individuals will include basic contact details such as name, telephone number, email address, postal address and some more technical information that is captured when our website is used (e.g. cookies and IP addresses).
 
We do not process special category data on these individuals.
 
It is in our interests to process this data so that we can obtain further clients and so legitimate interests is the basis for processing we rely on for processing this type of personal data. We have conducted our gating and balancing tests to determine whether our legitimate interests do not outweigh the rights and freedoms of the individuals we are targeting.
 
Where regulations mandate that that we must obtain consent from individuals, for example if the data subject is not an employee of a corporate business (not a ‘corporate subscriber’) and we intend to use email to communicate, then we will use the lawful basis of consent to process data to promote our services.
 
This lawful basis of consent can include the use of a ‘soft opt-in’ where the individuals we are targeting have engaged our services, or their first-aid certification term has ended, within the past 2 years.
 
2.3 STAFF
We define ‘staff’ from the perspective of data protection to include employees, contractors and consultants that might do work for our company.
 
2.3.1 Employment contract
We process data so that we can manage the staff that work for Worsley Training. We can also process data under this category where the individual is taking steps to enter into a contract with us (for example where we are recruiting an employee for Worsley Training). We capture this information in the course of recruiting and ‘on-boarding’ an individual to work with us.
 
The information we capture for this reason will include basic contact details such as name, telephone number, email address, postal address and details needed to process payments under the contracts such as bank account details and national insurance numbers. We will also capture information that relates to the
appraisal of performance and timekeeping.
 
We use the legal basis of ‘contract’ to process this data.
 
We can capture special category information (for example health-related information when people are off sick, or when evaluating our duties under equalities regulations).
 
The reason we process the Special Category data is when it is necessary to do so for the purposes of performing or exercising obligations or rights which are imposed or conferred by law on the controller or the data subject in connection with employment, social security or social protection.
 
We can capture criminal offence information (specifically, we use the Disclosure and Barring Service to check criminal records for staff we intend to hire) on this data.
 
The reason we process the Criminal Offence data is when Preventing or detecting unlawful acts.
 
We have an appropriate policy document in place relating to this special category and criminal offence data
 
2.3.2 Employment operations
We also process information on staff and their next of kin where it is in Worsley Training’s interest to do so for operational efficiency. As examples: so that we can keep staff up-to-date with Worsley Training news, maintain a list of the staff’s next of kin for communication in the event of an emergency, or to create business cards for staff, or use their photographs on our organisation’s web
pages. We capture this information as a part of the employee ‘on-boarding’ process and we update the data at regular intervals.
 
The type of data that we process for this need includes name, email address, telephone number and images of the individual.
 
We use the lawful basis of ‘legitimate interests’ to process this data. We have completed the specification, gate analysis and balancing tests specified under GDPR for this data.

If the data on staff or next of kin is ever used in an emergency, then we may process this data using a legal basis of ‘vital interests’.

Where relevant and if the data processor transfer data outside of the UK and EEA, we obtain commitment from the data processors that additional safeguards are in place.
 
2.6 RETENTION PERIOD OR CRITERIA USED TO DETERMINE THE RETENTION PERIOD
• We will retain information on clients for 6 years after an engagement as we will need to retain this information for financial and legal purposes.
• We will retain information that we use on prospective customers for the purposes of direct marketing where we use legitimate interests as a lawful basis for processing the data for as long as we believe the data is valid, and the prospective customer has not objected to our processing of the data.
• We will retain information that we use on prospective customers for the purposes of direct marketing where we use consent as a lawful basis for processing the data for 2 years after the latest interaction with the individual.
• We will retain the details of the suppliers or partners for as long as we might have a need for the services that the supplier or partner offer.
• We will retain some information on staff members for 7 years after their employment with us ends, as we need to retain information on staff members for legal reasons.
• We are required to keep some details of those on our first-aid courses (assessment papers, course register and feedback forms) for three and a half years.
• We will retain information on individuals who we have details on for recruitment purposes for 6 months after the job role that they were being considered for has been filled. If we believe that their details may be suitable for future roles, we will obtain their consent to retain their CVs for longer periods.
 
If any of these data retention timescales clash with legal or contractual obligations then these other obligations will override the retention timescales outlined above.
 
All records are disposed of securely when deleted. We will review the data before deletion to make sure that there are no special factors that we need to take account of in the deletion of the records.
 

3 HOW WE LOOK AFTER DATA

We take reasonable technical and procedural precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration of personal data.
 
We protect our IT system from cyber attack. Access to your personal data is password-protected, available to relevant personnel only, and sensitive data is secured by encryption. We regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.
 
We do not publish the details of the safeguards we use to protect the personal data that we control as this could reduce the effectiveness of those safeguards.
