1. About this policy

Azets is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This policy is a statement of how we process your personal data in compliance with data protection legislation.
When we process personal data in the UK we do so in compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. When we process personal data in the European Economic Area we do so in compliance with the EU GDPR and the appropriate national implementing legislation (analogous to the UK Data Protection Act 2018). [1]
It is important to note that some countries impose obligations on employers in employment legislation in addition to the abovementioned data protection legislation and wherever possible these national variations are shown as footnotes.
Where we refer to “you” or “your”, we are referring to you as an employee (current or former) or a consultant of Azets.
Where we refer to “we”, “our” or “us”, we are referring to the Azets company that employs you. The company that employs you is the controller of your personal data. A list of employing companies in the Azets group is contained below. It provides the postal address and Data Protection Officer/Manager contact details to use if you have any questions about this policy or how we process your personal data.
This privacy policy applies to personal data we have already collected or will collect about you. This privacy policy does not form part of any contract of employment or other contract to provide services and we may update this privacy policy at any time and we will inform you of any significant update. Nothing in this notice is intended to create an employment relationship between us and any non-employee providing services to us.
This policy describes:
  • who to contact if you have any queries relating to your personal data;
  • what personal data we process about you, where we collect it from, how we collect it and why we collect it;
  • where your personal data is held;
  • who has access to your personal data and who we may share it with;
  • the extent to which we may transfer personal data outside the country in which you work;
  • the extent to which we may use personal data to perform any automated decision making with a legal or similarly significant effect upon you; and
  • what rights you have in relation to your personal data and how to exercise them.
It is important that you read this policy, together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.
