Why does KYP process personal data?

KYP needs to process data to enter into employment contracts and to meet its obligations under your employment. For example, it needs to process your data to provide you with an employment contract, to pay you in accordance with your contract and to administer any relevant benefits and pension.

In some cases, KYP needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check an employee’s entitlement to work in the UK, to deduct tax, to comply with health and safety laws and to enable employees to take periods of leave to which they are entitled.

In other cases, KYP has a legitimate interest in processing personal data before, during and after the end of the employment relationship. Processing employee data allows KYP to:

• operate recruitment and promotion processes;

• maintain accurate and up-to-date employment records and contact details (including details of who to contact in the event of an emergency), and records of employee contractual and statutory rights;

• operate and keep a record of disciplinary and grievance processes, to ensure acceptable conduct within the workplace;

• operate and keep a record of employee performance and related processes, to plan for career development, and for succession planning and workforce management purposes;

• operate and keep a record of absence and absence management procedures, to allow effective workforce management and ensure that employees are receiving the pay or other benefits to which they are entitled;

• obtain occupational health advice, to ensure that it complies with duties in relation to individuals with disabilities, meet its obligations under health and safety law, and ensure that employees are receiving the pay or other benefits to which they are entitled;

• operate and keep a record of other types of leave (including maternity, paternity, adoption, parental and shared parental leave), to allow effective workforce management, to ensure that KYP complies with duties in relation to leave entitlement, and to ensure that employees are receiving the pay or other benefits to which they are entitled;

• ensure effective general HR and business administration;

• provide references on request for current or former employees;

• respond to and defend against legal claims;

• maintain and promote equality in the workplace.

• Process your pensions contributions

• Report through to the awarding bodies and other educational bodies statistical information regarding staff (all anonymised)

• Provide information to the recognised trade unions, Government and the KYP’s insurers details of staff who may be at risk of redundancy (all anonymised).

KYP will take photos of employees which will be used to maintain security and to assist staff in carrying out their tasks. Photos or videos taken for marketing or education purposes will not be published without consent.

Some special categories of personal data, such as information about health or medical conditions, are processed to carry out employment law obligations (such as those in relation to employees with disabilities).

Where KYP processes other special categories of personal data, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health or religion or belief, this is done for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring.

Who has access to data?

Your information may be shared internally, including with members of the HR (including payroll), your line manager, managers in the business area in which you work and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for performance of their roles.

Where KYP engages non-statutory third parties to process personal data on its behalf, we require them to do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data.

The organisation shares your data with third parties where there is a legal obligation, including DBS, & HMRC. KYP may also share your data with third parties in the context of a sale of some or all of its business. In those circumstances the data will be subject to confidentiality arrangements. KYP will not transfer your data to countries outside the European Economic Area.

How does the KYP protect data?

KYP takes the security of your data seriously. KYP has internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties. The Data Protection (GDPR) Policy is available to view on our website, or can be obtained in a paper version by contacting the Jen Winwood. Where KYP engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and al measures to ensure the security of data.

For how long does the KYP keep data?

KYP will hold your personal data for the duration of your employment. The periods for which your data is held after the end of employment are set out in the Data Retention policy.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have a number of rights.

You can:

• access and obtain a copy of your data on request;

• require KYP to change incorrect or incomplete data;

• require KYP to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing; and

• object to the processing of your data where KYP is relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing.

If you leave our employment, we will delete all personal data which is no longer needed such as emergency contacts and bank account details. However we are required to keep much of the data for a number of years for legal reasons, e.g. in case of a legal claim, or to demonstrate compliance with employment laws. Full details are provided in our data retention policy which is available on our website. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer at jen@kyptraining.com or contact the office.

Who can I complain to?

 If you believe that KYP has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner. Link provided below:

What if you do not provide personal data?

You have some obligations under your employment contract to provide KYP with data. In particular, you are required to report absences from work and may be required to provide information about disciplinary or other matters under the implied duty of good faith. You may also have to provide KYP with data in order to exercise your statutory rights, such as in relation to statutory leave entitlements. Failing to provide the data may mean that you are unable to exercise your statutory rights.

Certain information, such as contact details, your right to work in the UK and payment details, have to be provided to enable KYP to enter a contract of employment with you. If you do not provide other information, this will hinder the KYP’s ability to administer the rights and obligations arising as a result of the employment relationship efficiently.
