InterGreat Education Group recruiters may have sourced your details from publicly available information about you that you have published on the Internet – this may include sources such as LinkedIn, Job Boards, CV Libraries and other social media profiles.

We may receive your personal data from a third party who recommends you as a candidate for a specific job opening or for our business more generally.

Lawful basis for processing

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are the recruitment of staff for our business or our partner organisations.

Where you apply for a job opening through a third party job site, we rely on your consent, which is freely given by you during the application process, to disclose your personal data to that third party

Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.
• To consider your application in respect of other roles.
• To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process.
• To inform our partner organisations of your suitability for a role with them
• To find appropriate candidates to fill our job openings.

Disclosure of Your Information

As set out above, we may pass your information to our partner organisations, including WayPal, who use it only in accordance with our instructions and as otherwise required by law.

Security

We take appropriate measures to ensure that all personal data is kept secure including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

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

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do our best to protect your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.

Where we store your personal data in our own systems, it is stored on our secure server within the United Kingdom.

Your data may be accessible to InterGreat Education Group’s staff based in China and Vietnam through access to our UK based secure server.

All InterGreat Education Group staff have signed a confidentiality agreement and are held to the same standards as our UK Team.

If you would like further information please contact us. We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom OR EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.
