   • tell you why we are holding it;
   • tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
   • let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

   To make a request to ukchanges regarding any personal information we may hold, you need to put the request in writing, addressing it to our legal department at the address provided below.

   If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone, once we have confirmed your identity.

   If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting the legal department using the address below.

We would also welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures.

   This privacy notice was drafted with brevity and clarity in mind. It does not provide exhaustive detail of all aspects of ukchanges' collection and use of personal information. However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed. Any requests for this should be sent to the address below.

6. Direct marketing and user surveys

   We would like to provide you with information about new products and services that may be of interest to you and offer you the opportunity to subscribe to them and other information which we think may be of interest to you. We may provide you with such information by mail, telephone or e-mail depending upon your preferences.

If you choose this option, we will not contact you with any such marketing material.

   If you are a client of ukchanges and have previously asked us for information regarding our products or services (including our Toolkit guide or other informational documents), we may send you information on our range of products by e-mail unless you ask us not to do so or have ticked the marketing opt out box provided. We may transfer your personal information to third parties unless you inform us that you do not wish this to happen. This may include our marketing agents.

Where ukchanges want to disclose information to a third party, for example to take up a reference or obtain a 'disclosure' from the Criminal Records Bureau ukchanges will not do so without informing such individual beforehand unless the disclosure is required by law.

   Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 3 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed, it will then be destroyed or deleted. ukchanges retain de-personalised statistical information about applicants to help recruitment activities, but no individuals are identifiable from that data.

   Once a person has taken up employment with ukchanges, ukchanges will compile a file relating to their employment. The information contained in this file will be kept secure and will only be used for purposes directly relating to that person's employment, such as the provisions of references, tax or pension arrangements.

   Once employment with ukchanges has ended, ukchanges will retain the file in accordance with the requirements of its retention schedule and then delete it.
