Stylize will ensure that it follows the principles contained within the GDPR when dealing with sensitive and personal information/data.

DATA DEFINITIONS
Personal Data - This is the data that can identify a person, such as: name, date of birth, photo, National Insurance No. PAYE Information, home address, home phone number, mobile phone number, email addresses, contract of employment, passport, Right to Work Information, CV, references, bank details, medical information, records of holidays, sickness and other absence etc.
Sensitive Data - This is information that relates to medical records, religion, sexual orientation etc.
EMPLOYEE DATA
How Employee Data will be used - As an employer, Stylize needs to keep and process information about its employees for normal employment purposes. The information we hold is used for management and administrative purposes only and in order to enable the business to run and manage its relationships with its employees effectively, lawfully and appropriately, during the recruitment process, whilst employed, at the time when employment ends and after leaving. This includes using information to enable us to comply with its employment contract and to comply with any legal requirements and pursue its legitimate interests.
It may sometimes be necessary to process employee data to pursue legitimate business interests, for example to prevent fraud, for administrative purposes or in reporting potential crimes. Stylize will never process employee data where these interests are overridden by your own interests.
Employees might inevitably be referred to in many company documents and records that are produced by the employee and/or and their colleagues in the course of carrying out their duties and the business of the company. Where necessary we may keep information relating to employees’ health, which could include reasons for absence and GP/Occupational Health reports and notes. This information will be used in order to comply with the Stylize’s Health and Safety and Occupational Health Obligations, to consider how employee health affects their ability to do their job and whether any adjustments to that job might be appropriate. Stylize also needs this data to administer and manage statutory and company sick pay.
Employee personal data will be stored for a period of 6 years following employment end, after which it will be securely shredded. If Stylize intends to process employee personal or sensitive data for a purpose other than that which it was collected the employee will be provided with information on that purpose and any other relevant information.
Sharing Data with Third Parties - Stylize will only disclose information about employees to third parties if legally obliged to do so or if it needs to comply with its contractual duties to its employees, for instance, if it is required to pass on certain information to an external payroll provider, pension provider or health insurance schemes.
