Our lawful basis to process your data is contract and legal obligations.

  1. Contract– if you are our employee it means that you have entered into a contract with us. Thereby, most of personal data processing will be carried out according to the lawful basis of contract. To do so, certain information is needed from you such as your contact details, bank details, next of kin etc. The contract may include us processing your data for payroll on your behalf.
  1. Legal obligation– in order to provide our services, sometimes we may need to process personal data and, where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, sensitive personal data to exercise or defend legal claims. We must comply with statutory provisions that include payroll, tax, social security, HMRC reporting requirements, and any other law or regulation. It also applies to the business generally when complying with fraud/crime prevention, data protection legislation and co-operating with regulatory authorities such as Information Commissioner’s Office or HMRC.

 

Third parties:

Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your personal data only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take responsible steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party.

Data transfer:

To provide our recruitment services we may transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom (UK).  Marcus Donald wants to make sure that your data is stored and transferred in a secure way, therefore we will only transfer your data where it is compliant with data protection legislation in accordance with GDPR. If this is not the case, it is our policy to take steps to identify risks and ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

Security of personal data

Your personal data is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. When your personal data is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal data.

Maintaining the quality of your personal data

It is important to us that your personal data is up-to-date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that your personal data is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you find that the information we have is inaccurate, please advise us as soon possible so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.

Data retention:

In most circumstances your data will be retained for a minimum of 2 years or maximum of 6 years from the last point at which we provided any services or otherwise engaged with you. Please note the retention periods as follows:

  1. for no less than 2 years from the end of your last period of engagement or employment in order to prove that the right to work checks were carried out The Immigration (Restrictions of Employment) Order 2007. Marcus Donald has chosen to store this information for 6 years.
  2. for 6 years from the end of each tax year for the purposes of retaining payroll records under the Income Tax (Employment and Pensions) Act 2003;

However, please note that we may continue to retain, or use your personal information thereafter where we have a legitimate interest or a legal or contractual obligation to do so.
