Privacy notice – applicants, volunteers and colleagues

We take our responsibilities towards data protection and security extremely seriously. As a large organisation, we collect and use data about our colleagues, volunteers, and recruitment applicants. We're under a legal obligation to handle that information properly, fairly and securely.

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you, and applies if you are or have been an employee, volunteer or a recruitment applicant. It also applies to workers, self-employed contractors, directors and non-executive directors. Except where distinguished, all of the above categories of people are collectively referred to as our people and applicants in this privacy notice.

If you have difficulty understanding this privacy because of a disability or because English isn’t your first language, please discuss the situation with your line manager or the People Team as soon as possible.

This notice does not form part of any contract of employment or volunteer agreement and we may amend this notice at any time.

Within this privacy notice, Amnesty International UK (AIUK) will be your data controller. This means that we are responsible for how we hold and use personal information about you. We are required under data protection legislation to notify you of the information contained in this privacy notice.
