On which basis does NCI process personal data?
NCI needs to process data to enter into a contract with you and to meet its obligations under that employment contract. For example, it needs to process your data to provide you with an employment contract, to pay you in accordance with your employment contract and to administer benefit and pension benefits. In some cases, NCI needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, the organisation is required to check an employee’s entitlement to work in the UK, to deduct tax, to comply with health and safety laws and to enable employees to take periods of leave to which they are entitled. In other cases, NCI has a legitimate interest in processing personal data. NCI has a legitimate interest to process data where it is necessary for the following purposes:
- Maintaining business contacts.
- Provide reports in respect to litigation and loan applications.
- Collecting and certify ID.
- Serving legal process.
Where NCI relies on legitimate interests as a reason for processing personal data, it has considered whether or not those interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of the data subjects and has concluded that they are not.
Who has access to data?
Your information will be shared internally, including with members of the HR and payroll teams, your line manager, managers in the business area in which you work and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for performance of their roles. NCI shares your data with third parties in order to obtain pre-employment references from other employers. The Commission also shares your data with third parties that process data on its behalf. In those circumstances the data will be subject to confidentiality arrangements.
How does the NCI protect your data?
NCI has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees or contracted third party data processors in the performance of their duties. Where the organisation engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your personal data.
For how long does NCI keep data?
The periods for which your data is held are set out in the NCI’s retention schedule. General business communications will be retained for a period of two years from the date of receipt. Documents that relate to legal advice will be held for a minimum of 12 years after the case has been decided.

Your rights
As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:
- access and obtain a copy of your data on request;
- require the organisation to change incorrect or incomplete data;
- require the organisation to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
- object to the processing of your data where the organisation is relying on its legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing; and
- ask the organisation to stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or there is a dispute about whether or not your interests override the Commissions legitimate grounds for processing data.
What if you do not provide personal data?
You may have some obligations under your employment contract to provide NCI with data. In particular, you are required to report absences from work and may be required to provide information about disciplinary or other matters. You may also have to provide the organisation with data in order to exercise your statutory rights, such as in relation to statutory leave entitlements. Failing to provide the data may mean that you are unable to exercise your statutory rights or provide you with a service that is reliant on the processing of your information. Certain information, such as contact details, your right to work in the UK and payment details, have to be provided to enable NCI to enter a contract of employment with you. If you do not provide other information, this will hinder the organisation’s ability to administer the rights and obligations arising as a result of the employment relationship efficiently.
Automated decision-making
Employment decisions within NCI are not based solely on automated decision-making.
