What is the legal basis for using this information?

Our lawful basis may include consent (where you have given consent), to perform our obligations under the employment, worker or contractor agreement we have with you, or where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Consent. For the information that we process if you are an applicant (as outlined above) or if you consent and voluntarily provide any personal data (including special category data) as an applicant, employee, or contractor, we will seek your consent to do so. You have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time.

Special category data will be subject to more stringent access controls and will only be shared with the staff required for the fulfilment of the purposes outlined above. Where possible, we try to only process your information within the UK and European Economic Area (EEA).

Special category data will be deleted upon termination of your employment with ClearScore or earlier if you (i) request us to delete such data; or (ii) withdraw your consent to the processing of such data by ClearScore.

Your information may be permanently deleted before the periods set out above in the event we determine it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
