At Innergy, we believe that privacy is an important individual right and this policy provides information regarding our use and disclosure of personal data collected from individuals including via our websites for recruitment purposes.

Innergy’s information handling practices are in accordance with current privacy and data protection legislation in Singapore.

Why do we collect personal data?

As part of our recruitment process, we collect necessary personal data about you to consider you for employment with our firm or with our clients. During the course of the recruitment and selection process, we may request further information about you to assess your suitability for positions with our firm or that of our clients.

In doing so, we only collect personal data that is necessary for recruitment decisions. The procedures used by the firm to gather further information about you might include:

• Selection interviews;
• Assessment centres;
• Written skills/ E-personality tests;
• Referee reports;
• Security vetting; and,
• necessary pre-employment activities.

References from your current or former employer(s) or other sources will only be obtained with your consent. In some cases, pre-employment checking may be necessary. Any checking is “tailor-made” and the extent and nature of information sought is no more than is justified by the particular position being filled.

How do we use personal data?

We use the personal data for the following purposes:

• managing your application(s) for employment, evaluating you for open positions throughout the Innergy’s job listings with our firm and our clients and managing your candidate profile;
• evaluating your suitability for employment with our firm or our clients (including for example providing your personal information to third parties to conduct background checks);
• sending you email notifications and other announcements, requesting additional information, or otherwise contacting you about your candidacy;
• conducting statistical analyses and reports including for example, demographic analyses of candidates, reports on Innergy’s recruitment activities, and analyses of candidate sourcing channels; and
• relating to any other purposes for which you provided the information to Innergy.
• We will not collect or use personal data in ways other than as described in this policy unless we have obtained your consent. In some cases we may specifically request a consent form to be signed. In other cases consent may be implied (for instance, you give us information after being fully advised of how it will be used).

All such contractors will be bound contractually to keep all information confidential.

How long is information kept?

Because Innergy must process your personal data in order to consider you for a position as part of the recruitment process, if you revoke your consent, Innergy may need to terminate your application.

Innergy may retain certain information related to your application for a reasonable but limited period to meet applicable legal or records retention requirements.
