Introduction
At Innergy we value your privacy. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is respected and protected at all times. This Privacy Statement explains how Innergy collects, manages uses and discloses personal information that we hold about candidates and clients.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information or an opinion, whether true or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion. It may range from the very sensitive (e.g. medical history or condition) to the everyday (e.g. address and telephone number). It would include the opinions of others about your performance (whether true or not), your experience, qualifications, psychometric and aptitude test results and other information obtained by Innergy in connection with your possible development. Personal information includes sensitive information.
What is Sensitive Information?
Sensitive information is a form of personal information. It means information or opinion about an individual's:
- Race or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Membership of a political, professional, trade or trade union association
- Religious beliefs of affiliations
- Sexual preferences or practices
- Criminal record
- Health information
Sensitive information can, in most cases, only be collected and disclosed with your consent.
