This privacy policy applies to the Chevron Group of Companies. This includes Chevron Technical Services and Chevron Aircraft Maintenance.

Core Policy

How we use your information?

Like most businesses, we hold and process a wide range of information, some of which relates to individuals who are applying to work for us. This Recruitment Privacy Policy explains the type of information we process, why we are processing it and how that processing may affect you. It focuses on individuals who are applying to work for us and the data we process as part of that process. To find out more about our general privacy practices please consult the Adelphi Privacy Policy.

 

We have a separate Workplace Privacy Policy that applies to our current and former employees. This Policy will be given to when you join the company and is also available to all members of staff on the Chevron intranet.

 

This Recruitment Privacy Policy explains:

 

• what personal data we hold and why we process it;
• the legal grounds that allow us to process your personal data;
• where the data comes from, who gets to see it and how long we keep it;
• how to access your personal data and other rights;
• how to contact us

 

There is a Glossary on page 6 , which explains what we mean by ‘personal data’, ‘processing’, ‘sensitive personal data’ and other terms used in this Recruitment Privacy Policy.

 

Personal data– what we hold and why we process it

We hold various types of data about the individuals who apply to work for us, including their personal details and work history.

 

We process this data for the purposes of our business, including management, administrative, employment and legal purposes. For more information see the section Personal data we process and our purposes.

 

Legal grounds for processing personal data

Under data protection legislation, there are various grounds on which we can rely when processing your personal data. In some contexts, more than one ground applies. We have summarised these grounds as Contract, Legal Obligation, Legitimate Interests and Consent. For more information see the ‘Glossary’ and ‘Further information – Legal grounds for processing personal data’ section.

 

Where the personal data comes from

When you apply to work for us the initial personal data about you that we process is likely to come from you, or third-party recruiters, agents and similar organisations. This data includes for example, contact details, employment history and information on your immigration status and whether you can lawfully work. The recruitment agency might ask you to complete a work preference questionnaire which is used to assess your suitability for the role you have applied for, the results of which are assessed by recruiters.

 

We may also require references and information to carry out background checks. If you have concerns about this, you should speak to your recruiter or our HR department.

 

Who gets to see your personal data?

 

Internal use

Your personal data may be disclosed to managers, HR and administrators for the purposes of considering your application as mentioned in this document. If you are applying for a general position within Chevron then your details may be passed to relevant Chevron company. If you are applying for a specific role with a Chevron company your details maybe passed to another Chevron company, if we feel there may be a suitable position.

 

External use

 

We will only disclose your personal data outside Chevron if disclosure is consistent with one or more of our legal grounds for processing and if doing so is lawful and fair to you.

 

We may disclose your personal data if it is necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation or the interests of a third party, such as if we use a recruitment portal managed by a third-party provider we may send your personal data on to that third party (but we will not do this if these interests are over-ridden by your interests and rights in particular to privacy).

We may also disclose your personal data outside Chevron:

 

• if you consent to the disclosure;
• where we are required to do so by law;
• in connection with criminal or regulatory investigations. Specific circumstances in which your personal data may be disclosed include:
• Disclosure to organisations that process data on our behalf such as: our payroll service; insurers and other benefit providers; our bank; organisations that host our IT systems and data; professional service providers such as legal advice. This would normally occur if you accept an offer from us and would be carried out as part of the on-boarding process;
• To third party recruitment consultants and similar businesses (including online recruitment portals) as a part of the recruitment process.

 

How long do we keep your personal data?

We will retain your personal information for a period of 12 months after we have communicated to you our decision about whether to appoint you. We retain your personal information 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.
• Let you know about any further opportunities, that may arise in the future, that we think may be of interest to you based on your personal information and that we may wish to consider you for. After this period, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

If you become employed by us, we will keep your personal data for the duration of your employment and for a period afterwards. Our Data Retention and Deletion Policy contains details of the retention period of employment records.

 

If your data is only useful for a short period (e.g. CCTV footage data) we will delete it.

 

Transfers of personal data outside the EEA

In connection with our business and for employment, administrative, management and legal purposes, we may transfer your personal data outside the EEA if required. We will ensure that the transfer is lawful and that there are appropriate security arrangements.

 

Where we need to transfer your information outside of the European Economic Area we only do so to countries which have been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or by using a variety of legal mechanisms, including Standard Contractual Clauses, to help ensure your rights and protections.

 

Your data protection rights

You have specific rights connected to provision of your personal information to Chevron, although in some cases these rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations. To exercise any of these rights please contact us using the contact details in the section Contact details on page 4.

 

Right to be informed

You have the right to be told how your personal information is/will be used. Our Privacy Policy and our Recruitment and Workplace Privacy notices are intended to provide a clear and transparent description of how your personal data may be used.

 

Right of access to your information

You can request a copy of the information held relating to you. Please ensure that you include your name and clear instructions on what you would like us to do. If you require us to supply you with details of the personal information that we hold about you, then we will provide this information free of charge and we will provide this information to you within one month of your request unless the request is complex or is numerous requests. If this is the case, we will inform you within one month of your request about the reason for the extension of time.

 

Right of erasure (right to be forgotten)

 

You have the right to have your personally identifiable data deleted.

Right of rectification If you believe the records that Chevron keep are inaccurate, you have the right to ask for these to be updated.

 

Opt-out of marketing communications

You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt-out’ link in the marketing e-mails we send you. You can also opt out of other forms of marketing (such as postal marketing or telemarketing), by contacting us.

 

 

Withdraw your consent

If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

 

Complaints

 

If you have complaints relating to our processing of your personal data, you should raise these with the Chevron compliance department; see section Contact details or you can raise directly with the relevant supervisory authority.

ANNEX 1: Supplementary information

 

Glossary

 

‘Data Protection Legislation’ means all applicable legislation, local laws and regulations relating to

data protection and privacy, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the

UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), together with any national implementing laws in

any Member State of the European Union or, to the extent applicable, in any other country, each of

the foregoing as amended, repealed, consolidated or replaced from time to time.

 

‘Personal data’ is information relating to you (or from which you may be identified) which is

processed by automatic means or which is (or is intended to be) part of a structured manual filing

system. It includes not only facts about you, but also intentions and opinions about you.

 

Personal data ‘processed automatically’ includes information held on, or relating to use of, a

computer, laptop, mobile phone or similar device. It covers data derived from equipment such as

access passes within a building, data on use of vehicles and sound and image data such as CCTV or

photographs.

 

‘Processing’ means doing anything with the data. For example, it includes collecting it, holding it,

disclosing it and deleting it.

 

‘Sensitive personal data’ means personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions,

religious or philosophical beliefs, health, sexual orientation, sex life, trade union membership and

genetic and biometric data. These types of data are subject to special protection under the law. In

the UK this also includes actual and alleged criminal convictions.

 

References in the Recruitment Privacy Policy to ‘employment’, ‘work’ and similar expressions

include any arrangement under which an individual works for us or provides services to us or applies

to provide services. This includes individuals who are our employees and also those who provide

services under a freelance or independent contractor arrangement. Similarly, when we mention an

‘employment contract’, this should be taken to include any contract with an employee, a freelancer

or a contractor; and when we refer to ending your potential ‘employment’, that includes

terminating a freelance engagement or a contract for services.

 

We use the word ‘you’ to refer to anyone within the scope of this Recruitment Privacy Policy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Further information – Legal grounds for processing personal data

 

What are the grounds for processing?

 

Under data protection legislation, there are various grounds on which we can rely when processing

your personal data. In some contexts, more than one ground applies. We have summarised these

grounds as Contract, Legal obligation, Legitimate Interests and Consent and outline what those

terms mean in the following table.

Legal Obligation	Processing necessary to comply with our legal obligations	Ensuring we perform our legal and regulatory obligations. For example, providing a safe place of work and avoiding unlawful discrimination.
Legitimate Interests	Processing necessary for our or a third party’s legitimate interests.	We (and third parties) have legitimate interests in carrying on, managing and administering our respective businesses. Part of managing businesses will involve the processing of your personal data. Your data will not be processed if, in processing your data, your interests, rights and freedoms related to the data override the businesses’ interests in processing the data for businesses purposes
Consent	You have given specific consent to processing your data.	In general processing of your data in connection with employment is not conditional on your consent. But there may be occasions where we do specific things such as provide a reference and rely on your consent to do so.

 

 

 

 

Processing sensitive personal data

 

If we process sensitive personal data about you (for example (but without limitation), processing your health records to assist us in ensuring that we provide you with reasonable adjustments during any recruitment process), as well as ensuring that one of the grounds for processing mentioned above applies, we will make sure that one or more of the grounds for processing sensitive personal data applies. In outline, these include:

 

• Processing being necessary for the purposes of your or our obligations and rights in relation to employment in so far as it is authorised by law or collective agreement;
• Processing relating to data about you that you have made public (e.g. if you have told us you are ill);
