How will we use this, and other, information on the Employability for Overseas Nationals project?
These are the main points of how we use the information you give us:
- All the project partners and sub-contractors* will protect your privacy when you use their services.
- If the services available through this project are ones that you want to use, then one partner or sub-contractor must collect full personal details about you: One agency alone will collect personal information about you. For example: name, address, date of birth, country of birth, immigration status.
- The agency is required to share all this personal information about you with the lead partner and they may need to share it with the organisations which pay for this work and their evaluation service providers.
- The agency will only share basic information about you with one or more other partners and other organisations so that you get the help you have asked for. For example: ESOL and Skills services and/or potential employers, will be given your name, confirmation of your immigration status, where you live and how best to contact you (phone or email).
- All partners and sub-contractors working on this project will treat your personal information in a sensitive and secure manner in line with UK laws.
- In some cases, only if there is risk to you or to others, the law may say that we have to share your information to protect those at risk.
- We will keep your information for 6 years as is required by the organisations funding this work.
These are your rights
- You can ask to see the information we hold about you.
