Please note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your information.

How we use particularly sensitive personal information

We will use your particularly sensitive personal information to assess your continued suitability for the work - for example, whether you have a medical condition that would prohibit you from flying.

Information about criminal convictions

We will process information about criminal convictions as part of recruitment process and our on-going provision of services to you and our customers, including monitoring of contractors suitably for positions they are applying for.

In order to provide our services, we are required to carry out background checks (on contractors) during the application process which include us requesting and applying for (on your behalf), a basic DBS check to establish whether you have any criminal convictions (including those classified by the Department for Transport as disqualifying convictions) which would prevent you from applying for a particular role or restrict our customers from appointing you to a particular position.  As part of our ongoing service provision, our customers may require us to request further DBS checks and checks with police authorities be carried out in respect of contractors using our services as part of their application process or if the particular contractor has not provided services to that customer for a period of time.  In such circumstances we will obtain your consent and request the relevant DBS check or enquires to be made with the relevant police authority be undertaken on your behalf.  We will only receive the results of such checks.  You will be able to access and download your certificate directly from the DBS, simply follow the instructions you receive from the DBS.  We retain information in accordance with section 8and section 7sets what safeguards we implement in respect of such records.

Change of purpose: we will only use your personal data for the purpose that we originally collected it for, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to use your personal data in this manner.

We may process your personal data (without your knowledge or consent) where this is required or permitted by law.

  1. Disclosure of your personal data

We may share the personal data we have about you with the following parties for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4above:

  • other members of the CCL Aviation group;
  • service providers;
  • our professional advisors;
  • HMRC, regulators and other authorities.

We will also share personal data that we hold about contractors with our customer users who access and use CCL Connect to assess contractors suitability for a vacancy. Customer users are required to comply with our website terms of use and the obligations of confidentiality we have in place as part of our contract with our customers.

Our customers may require contractors to provide further personal data to them and where contractors do so, the relevant customer will be the controller of such personal data and be responsible for safeguarding the personal data.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. They can only process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

  1. International transfers

We share your personal data within the CCL Aviation group companies. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).  We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the same rules when processing your personal data.  Our servers which host CCL Connect are located within the EEA but CCL Connect can be accessed by our group companies and customers who are located inside and outside the EEA.

Many of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.  Whilst we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, we do not guarantee that the countries your personal data may need to be transferred to, treat personal data with the same level of protection as is required by companies operating within the EEA. You should also note that if you do not wish for your personal data to be transferred to a third country or third party then we will not be able to provide you with the services offered by CCL Connect.

Once your personal data is transferred to customers, we cannot guarantee they will treat your personal data with the same level of protection as required of companies operating within the EEA. However, our customers may have their own privacy policies in place, which may be useful to help you understand what personal data they collect about you and how they use it. If you do not want your personal data to be so transferred, please do not click the submit button.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

  1. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.  We also limit access to your personal data to those directors, employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know such information and they can only process your personal data on our instructions and will be subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

  1. Data retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as you are a registered user of CCL Connect and for as long as we deem reasonably necessary after that to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, following which we will securely destroy your personal information.

In determining the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.  

We may also anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes. We can use anonymised information indefinitely without further notice to you.

  1. Your legal rights

You have certain rights in certain circumstances under data protection law. In summary, you have the right to:

  • access your data;
  • request a correction;
  • request an erasure;
  • object to processing;
  • ask us to restrict or suspend processing;
  • request a transfer;
  • withdraw your consent to processing.

You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your rights. However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee for this information or refuse to comply with your request.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity when you contact us and ensure. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
