We're committed to respecting the data you provide. Personal information submitted via this website is, subject to the comments below, processed and kept securely in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Please note, however, that information you submit to us via this website or email is not encrypted.  The internet and use of email are never totally secure and by using these methods to communicate with us, you accept that there are risks associated with sending information via this method.

Any information uploaded or sent by email through this site is being transmitted to Claire's European Services Limited.  Once received by us, your information may be shared with other Claire's Group companies including Claire's Accessories UK Limited and Claire's European Distribution Limited. If an offer of employment is made as a result of your application through this site, the offer may come from any company in the Claire's Group.

Information supplied by you as a job applicant will be used to determine issues relating to recruitment as well as for management information about recruitment initiatives and equal opportunities monitoring.  This may involve the transmission of your personal data to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area (e.g. to Claire's Stores, Inc. which is company registered in the USA) provided an adequate level of protection exists for your personal data in relation to that country or territory. 

The website may also be used to promote information about our employees; working at Claire's and competitions for Claire's employees.  Employees will be asked for their express consent before we upload information about them to the site.  If employees are given the opportunity to upload information to the site themselves, it is a condition of them uploading that information that they explicitly consent to the data being processed on the site in the knowledge that it may be accessible by any site users throughout the world.

If your job application is progressed, details may be disclosed to third parties (such as educational institutions attended by you; your present and past employers; Claire's employees and Partners; credit reference agencies; Criminal Records Bureau etc. as appropriate for the job in respect of which you are applying or for which you may be suitable).  The reason for this is so that we can verify the information you have given to us and obtain extra information about you relevant to recruitment decisions. Details may also be disclosed if required by law or for the purposes of Claire's business requirements (e.g. to auditors or third party service suppliers).  By submitting your application through this website, you explicitly consent to us carrying out that verification or disclosure.  If you do not wish to give this consent, please do not submit your application through this site.

If, as a result of disclosure of information for verification or as set above, inconsistencies arise between what you have told us and what we are told by other people, then (subject to our data protection obligations to those other people) we will give you the opportunity to comment on or explain those inconsistencies before we make any final decision about your recruitment.

We do not currently carry out pre-employment vetting.

Some of the information that you supply through this website or are asked to supply later during the recruitment process may be sensitive personal data as defined in s.2 of the Data Protection Act 1998 (e.g. your racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health or condition, sexual orientation, or criminal proceedings or convictions).  Information about racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, any disability and sexual orientation are obtained to allow us to carry out equal opportunities monitoring or (in the case of disability) to allow us to make any reasonable adjustments required by law to accommodate you during the recruitment process or as an employee.  Information about your physical, mental health or condition or about criminal proceedings or convictions is obtained to allow us to assess your suitability for employment by us or your capability to work for us.   Information about your religion/belief may also be used to form the basis of enquiries to you about whether it imposes any restrictions on your capability to carry out the job for which you are being considered and whether we would be able to accommodate those restrictions without interfering with your ability to carry out the job or our reasonable business needs. By submitting your application through this website or email to us, you explicitly consent to us processing this information for these purposes.  If you do not wish to give this consent, please do not submit your application through this site.

If your application is unsuccessful, we will retain your information on file unless you request us not to do so.  That information may be used to contact you about any suitable job opportunities that may arise in future.  We reserve the right to retain relevant information about you for the purpose of, or in connection with, any current or prospective legal proceedings or as necessary for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests.

You may request details and copies of the information we hold about you on payment of a fee and you may request that we correct errors in any such information.
