We ask that you avoid submitting Sensitive Information, unless such information is legally required and/or the Company requests you to submit such information.

Any information you submit through the Careers Site must be true, complete and not misleading. Submitting inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information may lead to a rejection of your application during the recruitment process or disciplinary action including immediate termination of your employment.

4. How we use and disclose EU and UK Personal Information

Legal Basis for Processing

We will only use EU and UK Personal Information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your EU and UK Personal Information in the following circumstances:

• where it is necessary in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into an employment contract;
• where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (including, in respect of Sensitive Information, obligations under employment law) on us; and
• where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, the Company has a legitimate interest in conducting certain background checks on applicants to ensure that it is offering employment to those individuals whom it considers are most likely to be successful when working for the Company.

We may also use your EU and UK Personal Information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

• where it is necessary to protect your (or someone else's) vital interests (and, in the case of Sensitive Information, where you are incapable of consenting);

• in the case of Sensitive Information, where you have made the information public.

There may be more than one purpose that justifies our use of your EU and UK Personal Information in any particular circumstance.

We will only use your EU and UK Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your EU and UK Personal Information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
