Certain additional information may be collected where this is necessary and permitted by local applicable laws.

Special categories of personal information

To the extent permitted by applicable laws Radius may also collect and process a limited amount of personal information falling into special categories, sometimes called “sensitive personal data”.  This term includes information relating to such matters as racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health (including details of accommodations or adjustments), certain maternity/adoption information, trade union membership, sexual orientation, information regarding sexual life, biometric data, genetic data, [criminal records and information regarding criminal offences or proceedings].

How does Radius collect data?

Radius collects and records your personal information from a variety of sources, but mainly directly from you.  You will usually provide this information directly to your managers or local Human Resources contact or enter it into our systems (for example, during the recruitment process, your participation in HR processes, emails you send or through verbal information which may be recorded).  In addition, further information about you will come from your managers or Human Resources.

We may also obtain some information from third parties, for example, references from a previous employer, medical reports from external professionals, tax authorities, benefit providers or where we employ a third party to carry out a background check (where permitted by applicable law).

In some circumstances, data may be collected indirectly from monitoring devices or by other means (for example, building and location access control and monitoring systems, Closed Circuit television, telephone logs and recordings and email and Internet access logs), if and to the extent permitted by applicable laws.  In these circumstances, the data may be collected by Radius or a third party provider of the relevant service. This type of data is generally not accessed on a routine basis but access is possible.  Access may occur, for instance, in situations where Radius is investigating possible violations of Radius policies such as those relating to travel and expense reimbursement, use of the telephone system and the Internet, or employee conduct generally, or where the data are needed for compliance or billing purposes. More frequent access to such data may occur incidental to an email surveillance program, if and to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

Where we ask you to provide personal information to us on a mandatory basis, we will inform you of this at the time of collection and in the event that particular information is required by the contract or statute this will be indicated.  Failure to provide any mandatory information will mean that we cannot carry out certain HR processes.  For example, if you do not provide us with your bank details, we will not be able to pay you. In some cases, it may mean that we are unable to continue with your employment or engagement as Radius will not have the personal information we believe to be necessary for the effective and efficient administration and management of our relationship with you.

Apart from personal information relating to yourself, you may also provide Radius with personal information of third parties, notably your dependents and other family members, for purposes of HR administration and management, including the administration of benefits and to contact your next-of-kin in an emergency. Before you provide such third party personal information to Radius you must first inform these third parties of any such data which you intend to provide to Radius and of the processing to be carried out by Radius, as detailed in this HR Privacy Notice.

What is the purpose and lawful basis for which data are processed?

Your personal information is collected and processed for various business purposes, in accordance with applicable laws and any applicable collective bargaining agreements.  Data may occasionally be used for purposes not obvious to you where the circumstances warrant such use (e.g., in investigations or disciplinary proceedings).  We may collect and process your personal information for various purposes, as set out in this HR Privacy Notice.

Where applicable data protection laws require us to process your personal information on the basis of a specific lawful justification, we generally process your personal information under one of the following bases:

  • the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by Radius (being those purposes described in the section above), except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal information;
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Radius is subject; or
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract.
We may on occasion process your personal information for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal information.

Processing data relating to criminal convictions and offences

Personal information relating to criminal convictions and offences will only be processed where authorised by applicable laws.

For example:

  • a criminal record check may be carried out on recruitment or transfer where authorised by applicable laws; or
  • an allegation of a criminal offence or conviction arising during your relationship with Radius may be processed where required or authorised.  For example, where we have a legal or regulatory requirement to report an offence or applicable laws authorise Radius to process information about the offence for the purpose of making decisions regarding your relationship with Radius.

Retention of personal information

Radius endeavours to ensure that personal information are kept as current as possible and that irrelevant or excessive data are deleted or made anonymous as soon as reasonably practicable.  However, some personal information may be retained for varying time periods in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for other legitimate business reasons.

We will generally retain your personal information only so long as it is required for purposes for which it was collected.  This will usually be the period of your employment/contract with us plus the length of any applicable statutory limitation period following your departure, although some data, such as pension information, may need to be kept for longer. We may keep some specific types of data, for example, tax records, for different periods of time, as required by applicable law.

Access to data

Within Radius, your personal information can be accessed by or may be disclosed internally on a need-to-know basis to:

  • Human Resources, including managers and team members;
  • management responsible for managing or making decisions in connection with your relationship with Radius or when involved in an HR process concerning your relationship with Radius;
  • system administrators; and
  • where necessary for the performance of specific tasks or system maintenance by staff in Radius teams such as the Finance, IT and the HR team.
Certain basic personal information, such as your name, location, job title, contact information and any published skills and experience profile may also be accessible to other employees. The security measures in place within Radius to protect your data are set out below.

Your personal information may also be accessed by third parties whom we work together with (including without limitation, SAGE Payroll Bureau, payroll providers, The People’s Pension, and Legal and General etc.) and their associated companies and sub-contractors) for providing us with services, such as hosting, supporting and maintaining the framework of our HR information systems.

Personal information may also be shared with certain interconnecting systems such as recruitment systems and local payroll and benefits systems. Data contained in such systems may be accessible by providers of those systems, their associated companies and sub-contractors.

Examples of third parties with whom your data will be shared include tax authorities, regulatory authorities, Radius's insurers, bankers, IT administrators, lawyers, auditors, investors, consultants and other professional advisors, payroll providers, and administrators of Radius's benefits programs.   Radius expects such third parties to process any data disclosed to them in accordance with applicable law, including with respect to data confidentiality and security.

Where these third parties act as a "data processor" (for example, a payroll provider), they carry out their tasks on our behalf and upon our instructions for the above mentioned purposes.  In this case your personal information will only be disclosed to these parties to the extent necessary to provide the required services.

In addition, we may share personal information with national authorities in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. This is for example the case in the framework of imminent or pending legal proceedings or a statutory audit.

Security of data

Radius uses a variety of technical and organisational methods to secure your personal information in accordance with applicable laws.

Radius is committed to protecting the security of the personal information you share with us. In support of this commitment, we have implemented appropriate technical, physical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

If you are in possession of personal information of any kind (e.g. data collected in emails, address books, Excel spreadsheets or contained in curricula vitae or elsewhere) you must ensure that the data are kept in a safe place where unauthorised access cannot occur.  Where data is retained in hard copy, storage in a locked drawer or cabinet, accessible only to authorised individuals, is generally the most effective means of securing the data. Where data is kept in electronic form, appropriate password protection and appropriately secured areas should be used.

Transfer of personal information

From time to time your personal information (including special categories of personal information) will be transferred to associated companies of Radius to process for the purposes described in this HR Privacy Notice.

These associated companies may be located within the European Union or the United Kingdom (for example, Radius Limited, in the U.K.) and elsewhere in the world (for example, Radius Fleet Services Inc.).  Personal information may also be transferred to third parties, as set out above.

As a result, your personal information may be transferred to countries outside of the country in which you work to countries whose data protection laws may be less stringent than yours.

Radius will ensure that appropriate or suitable safeguards are in place to protect your personal information and that transfer of your personal information is in compliance with applicable data protection laws.  Where required by applicable data protection laws, Radius has ensured that service providers (including other Radius associated companies) sign standard contractual clauses as approved by the European Commission or other supervisory authority with jurisdiction over the relevant Radius exporter.

Radius aims to ensure that all personal information is correct. You also have a responsibility to ensure that changes in personal circumstances (for example, change of address and bank accounts) are notified to Radius so that we can ensure that your data is up-to-date.

You have the right to request access to any of your personal information that Radius may hold, and to request correction of any inaccurate data relating to you. You furthermore have the right to request deletion of any irrelevant data we hold about you.

You also have the following additional rights:

  • Data portability - where we are relying upon your consent or the fact that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party as the legal basis for processing, and that personal information is processed by automatic means, you have the right to receive all such personal information which you have provided to Radius in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.
  • Right to restriction of processing - you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal information where:
    • you contest the accuracy of the personal information until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
    • where the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the data;
    • where we no longer need the personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
    • where you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds (see below) pending verification as to whether Radius has compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.
Where personal information is subjected to restriction in this way we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to withdraw consent - where you have provided us with your consent to process data, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. You can do this by (i) in some cases deleting the relevant data from the relevant HR system (although note that in this case it may remain in back-ups and linked systems until it is deleted in accordance with our data retention policy) or (ii) contacting your local Human Resources contact.
  • Right to object to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds - where we are relying upon legitimate interest to process data, then you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can either demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or where we need to process the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a basis for processing we believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will consider each case on an individual basis.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in your country of residence, if you consider that the processing of your personal information infringes applicable law.
