Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held for 12 months after the recruitment exercise has been completed, it will then be destroyed or deleted. We retain de-personalised statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities, but no individuals are identifiable from that data.

The information contained in this will be kept secure and will only be used for purposes directly relevant to that person’s employment. Once their employment with Double Vision Photography has completed, we will retain the file in accordance with the requirements of our retention schedule and then delete it.
