Privacy Policy – Employees

1) Your personal data – what is it?

“Personal data” is any information about a living individual which allows them to be identified from that data (for example a name, photograph, video, email address, or address). Identification can be directly using the data itself or by combining it with other information which helps to identify a living individual (e.g. a list of staff may contain personnel ID numbers rather than names but if you use a separate list of the ID numbers which give the corresponding names to identify the staff in the first list then the first list will also be treated as personal data). The processing of personal data is governed by legislation relating to personal data which applies in Ireland including the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and other legislation relating to personal data and rights.

2) Who are we?

This Privacy Notice is provided to you by Owl Pest Control Ltd. which is the Data Controller and the Data Processor for your data. Owl works together with:

  • Other data controllers, e.g. local authorities, public authorities, central government and agencies such as Revenue
  • Staff pension providers
  • Former and prospective employers
  • Payroll services providers
  • Recruitment Agencies
  • Credit reference agencies

We may need to share personal data we hold with them so that they can carry out their responsibilities to the Company. The organisations referred to above will sometimes be “joint data controllers”. This means we are all responsible to you for how we process your data where for example two or more data controllers are working together for a joint purpose. If there is no joint purpose or collaboration then the data controllers will be independent and will be individually responsible to you.

3) Owl Pest Control will comply with data protection law. This says that the personal data we hold about you must be:

  • Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
  • Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
  • Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
  • Accurate and kept up to date.
  • Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
  • Kept and destroyed securely including ensuring that appropriate technical and security measures are in place to protect your personal data to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure.

4) What data do we process?

  • Names, titles, and aliases, photographs.
  • Start date / leaving date
  • Contact details such as telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses.
  • Where they are relevant to our legal obligations, or where you provide them to us, we may process information such as gender, age, date of birth, marital status, nationality, education/work history, academic/professional qualifications, employment details, hobbies, family composition, and dependants.
  • Non-financial identifiers such as passport numbers, driving licence numbers, vehicle registration numbers, taxpayer-identification numbers, staff identification numbers, tax reference codes, and national insurance numbers.
  • Financial identifiers such as bank account numbers, payment card numbers, payment/transaction identifiers, policy numbers, and claim numbers.
  • Financial information such as National Insurance number, pay and pay records, tax code, tax and benefits contributions, expenses claimed.
  • Other operational personal data created, obtained, or otherwise processed in the course of carrying out our activities, including but not limited to, CCTV footage, vehicle tracking, recordings of telephone conversations, IP addresses and website visit histories, logs of visitors, and logs of accidents, injuries and insurance claims.
  • Next of kin and emergency contact information
  • Recruitment information (including copies of right to work documentation, references and other information included in a CV or cover letter or as part of the application process and referral source (e.g. agency, staff referral))
  • Location of employment or workplace.

  • CCTV footage and other information obtained through electronic means such as swipecard records.
  • Information about your use of our information and communications systems.

5) We use your personal data for some or all of the following purposes: –

Please note: We need all the categories of personal data in the list above primarily to allow us to perform our contract with you and to enable us to comply with legal obligations.

  • Making a decision about your recruitment or appointment.
  • Determining the terms on which you work for us.
  • Checking that you are legally entitled to work in Ireland.

Some of the above grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal data.

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

We may also use your personal data in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

  • Where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests).
  • Where it is needed in the public interest [or for official purposes].

6) How we use sensitive personal data

We may process sensitive personal data relating to staff including, as appropriate:

  • Information about your physical or mental health or condition in order to monitor sick leave and take decisions on your fitness for work;
  • Your racial or ethnic origin or religious or similar information in order to monitor compliance with equal opportunities legislation;
  • In order to comply with legal requirements and obligations to third parties.

These types of data are described in the GDPR as “Special categories of data” and require higher levels of protection. We need to have further justification for collecting, storing and using this type of personal data. We may process special categories of personal data in the following circumstances:

  • In limited circumstances, with your explicit written consent.
  • Where we need to carry out our legal obligations.
  • Where it is needed in the public interest, such as for equal opportunities monitoring or in relation to our pension scheme.
  • Where it is needed to assess your working capacity on health grounds, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

Less commonly, we may process this type of personal data where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public.

7) Do we need your consent to process your sensitive personal data?

  • We do not need your consent if we use your sensitive personal data in accordance with our rights and obligations in the field of employment and social security law.
  • In limited circumstances, we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain sensitive personal data. If we do so, we will provide you with full details of the personal data that we would like and the reason we need it, so that you can carefully consider whether you wish to consent.
  • You should be aware that it is not a condition of your contract with us that you agree to any request for consent from us.

8) Information about criminal convictions

  • We may only use personal data relating to criminal convictions where the law allows us to do so. This will usually be where such processing is necessary to carry out our obligations and provided we do so in line with our data protection policy.
  • Less commonly, we may use personal data relating to criminal convictions where it is necessary in relation to legal claims, where it is necessary to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests) and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public.
  • We will only collect personal data about criminal convictions if it is appropriate given the nature of the role and where we are legally able to do so. Where appropriate, we will collect personal data about criminal convictions as part of the recruitment process or we may be notified of such personal data directly by you in the course of you working for us.

9) What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Some of our processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. We may also process data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter into a contract. We will also process your data in order to assist you in fulfilling your role in the council including administrative support or if processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

10) Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will only be shared with third parties including other data controllers where it is necessary for the performance of the data controllers’ tasks or where you first give us your prior consent. It is likely that we will need to share your data with:

  • Our agents, suppliers and contractors. For example, we may ask a commercial provider to manage our HR/ payroll functions , or to maintain our database software;
  • Other data controllers, such as local authorities, public authorities, central government and agencies such as Revenue
  • Staff pension providers
  • Former and prospective employers
  • Payroll services providers
  • Recruitment Agencies
  • Credit reference agencies
  • Professional advisors
  • Trade unions or employee representatives

11) How long do we keep your personal data?

We will keep some records permanently if we are legally required to do so. We may keep some other records for an extended period of time. For example, it is currently the best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 6 years to support Revenue audits or provide tax information. We may have legal obligations to retain some data in connection with our statutory obligations or to defend or pursue claims. In some cases, the law imposes a time limit for such claims (for example 10 years from the date of an accident – The Safety Health and Welfare at Work (General Applications Regulation 1993, section 60)). We will retain some personal data for this purpose as long as we believe it is necessary to be able to defend or pursue a claim. In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it. This means that we will delete it when it is no longer needed.

12) Your responsibilities

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your working relationship with us.
