Please also note that in addition to the information we collect and hold about individuals during the application process (as detailed in the table below), we may also process personal data of other contributors such as members of the public (including adults and children) through public filming and audience members who contribute to our programme development projects.

How long we keep your information

We keep the personal information that we obtain about you during the recruitment process for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. 

How long we keep your information will depend on whether your application is successful and you become employed by us, the nature of the information concerned and the purposes for which it is processed. We will keep recruitment information (including interview notes) for no longer than is reasonable, taking into account the time limits for potential claims such as race or sex discrimination (as extended to take account of early conciliation), after which they will be destroyed. If there is a clear business reason for keeping recruitment records for longer than the recruitment period, we may do so but will first consider whether the records can be pseudonymised, and the longer period for which they will be kept.  If you have not been successful, we may ask you for your consent to keep your information on file, along with a copy of your CV, if we think you may be suitable for an alternative position.
