Where the provision of your personal data is required for us to enter into an employment contract with you, or is a statutory requirement, (e.g. evidence of a right to work in the UK or the EU, details of salary/benefits, national insurance number, health and safety of workers), refusal to provide this personal information will prevent us from being able to offer you employment.

These companies are bound by terms of confidentiality and must meet the Company standards in regards data protection.
We may also have to share your data with third parties, including third-party service providers and other entities in the group or where required by law, where it is necessary to administer or complete the recruitment application process with you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. We require third parties to respect the security of your data, to take appropriate security measures and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only permit third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
9. Will your personal data be transferred to third parties outside of the European Economic Area or UK?
During the application stage of the recruitment process, we may transfer the personal data we collect about you outside of the UK or EEA to a country that may have privacy protections less stringent than in the EEA or UK. For instance, we may transfer your personal data to our parent company, Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (‘PPC’), and its majority shareholder, JBS USA, (both based in the United States of America) in order to review, assess or determine your application for employment.
Our ethics hotline is provided by a third-party company who store the data in the EEA but the data will be shared with JBS USA who administer and oversee ethics investigations in the United States of America. Copies of the applicable privacy notice will be provided to you at the time of logging any ethics concern.
In the absence of an adequacy decision from the EU Commission or UK Parliament, we will implement measures to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection where it is transferred outside the UK or EEA, such as EU standard contractual clauses or UK International Data Transfer Agreement, together with technical and organisational safeguards to ensure that your personal data is treated in a way that is in compliance with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection. For further information on the safeguards in place please contact the Group Privacy Officer.
10. How long will we use your information for?

Request the erasure of your personal information.
Request the restriction of and objection to processing of your personal information.
Request the transfer of your personal information to a third party.
In France only, data subjects can also instruct the individual(s) who are required to deal with their affairs (e.g. executors of their will) of how they wish for their personal data to be processed after their death, which may include the use of some of the rights listed above.
In addition, in the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect your contractual relationship with us. To withdraw your consent, please contact the Group Privacy Officer in writing. Some of these rights are not automatic, and we reserve the right to discuss with you why it might not comply with a request. If you want to exercise any of the above rights, please contact the Group Privacy Officer in writing.
