1. Retention periods
We keep applicant information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, or you consent to us keeping your details to consider you for future roles, we retain recruitment records for approximately 12 months after a recruitment decision.
2. What this covers
- Application form submissions and your responses.
- Uploaded CVs, cover letters, and supporting documents.
- Interview notes and assessment results.
- Correspondence relating to your application.
3. Secure deletion
When the retention period ends, records are securely deleted or anonymized so that you can no longer be identified from them. Documents in secure storage are removed according to our deletion procedures.
4. Requesting deletion
You can request deletion of your data at any time, subject to applicable law, by contacting privacy@workroute.work. We will action valid requests within a reasonable timeframe.
5. Configurable retention
The retention period is configurable in the website settings (siteConfig.legal.applicantDataRetentionMonths) and should be set to reflect the company's legal obligations and policies.
