DFID is the Data controller and is registered with the Information Commissioner for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998. The information you have provided on the application form will be used by DFID and any external recruitment consultant and/or organisation appointed by us to help with the recruitment process. It will also be used for monitoring the effectiveness of the recruitment process and for research and statistical analysis. If your application is successful the data you provide will also be used to help to set up your personnel records and may be used to help to facilitate obtaining the necessary level of security clearance for this vacancy. For a vacancy overseas, we may send details about you to our offices in the appointed country for referral to the officials of the local government to seek their consent to your appointment. You should be aware that although our offices overseas will undertake the same level of protection for your data as it would in the EEA, the Data Protection laws outside the EEA are likely to be less comprehensive.
