Privacy Policy For Recruitment

This Privacy Notice describes how the bet365 group of companies ("bet365", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects the personal data of individuals who apply for employment with us.

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is processed fairly, lawfully, and transparently in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and in a manner set out in this Privacy Notice.

This notice applies to all candidates applying for a role with any entity within the bet365 group, regardless of where you are located or where the role is based.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand how we handle your personal data. Note that if you choose not to provide the personal data required for our recruitment process, we may be unable to process your application or offer you employment.

bet365 comprises a global group of companies. The specific bet365 entity to which you submit your application will act as the "Data Controller" responsible for your personal data. As certain companies within our group provide central administrative and human resources support, your personal data may be shared securely across the bet365 group to facilitate the recruitment process.

Should you require further information regarding your personal data, how it is processed, or which bet365 entity acts as your Data Controller, please contact your recruitment representative or email jobs@bet365.com.

For specific questions concerning your statutory rights or our data protection practices, please contact the Data Protection team at Data.Protection@bet365.com.

bet365 collects, uses, and processes various categories of personal data about you during the recruitment process. Specific information we collect will vary depending on the nature of the role you are applying for and the legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which the recruitment takes place. This data may include:

• Identity and Contact Information
• Professional and Application Data
• Recruitment and Assessment Data
• Technical and Website Usage Data
• Interaction and Facility Data

Information from Public Sources

Where it is reasonable for us to do so, relevant to the role you are applying for, and not detrimental to your rights and freedoms, we may also collect personal data from publicly available sources. This may include professional networking sites, internet searches, corporate registries, and media.

Telephone calls and video interviews to and from bet365 may be recorded for training, security, and quality assurance purposes, as well as to assist in the evaluation of your application.

If you choose not to provide your Personal Data required for our recruitment process, it may prevent us from meeting our legal obligations or taking the necessary steps to enter into an employment contract with you. Consequently, not providing your personal data may mean we are unable to process your application or offer you employment.

bet365 utilises technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, to assist and streamline our recruitment processes. While we may use AI technologies to help our recruitment team review CVs, match candidates to suitable future roles, or analyse assessment results, we do not subject candidates to decisions based solely on automated processing.

In all instances, AI is utilised strictly as a support tool, and final shortlisting and hiring decisions are always made by human recruiters and hiring managers.

bet365 may share your personal data with trusted third parties and other organisations where it is necessary to manage the recruitment process, comply with legal obligations, or where you have specifically requested us to do so. These organisations include:

• Law enforcement agencies, regulators and other authorities
• Credit reference agencies
• Fraud prevention agencies
• Identity verification agencies
• Organisations that introduce you to us
• Third parties you ask us to share your data with
• Third parties necessary to provide products or services to assist in processing your application
• Business Transfers or Partners

Your data is only shared under strict contractual terms that detail bet365's requirements for data security, ensuring they only process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our direct instructions.

Data Sharing within the group occurs primarily where other bet365 entities provide centralised services, such as human resources, IT infrastructure, and administrative support, or where hiring managers and interviewers are located in different jurisdictions.

We maintain strict access controls to ensure your personal data is only accessible to personnel directly involved in the recruitment process. Furthermore, all intragroup data transfers are subject to robust internal agreements designed to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable statutory requirements.

To facilitate our global recruitment processes, it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to, and store it at, destinations outside of your home country or jurisdiction.

Whenever we transfer your personal data internationally, we take strict measures to ensure it remains protected to the same high standards as required by applicable data protection laws. We will only transfer your data if at least one of the following legal safeguards is in place:

• Adequacy Decisions: The country receiving your personal data has been formally recognised by the relevant regulatory authority (such as the UK Government or the European Commission) as providing an adequate level of data protection.
• Approved Transfer Mechanisms: We have implemented specific, legally approved contracts with the recipient (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement). These contracts legally bind the recipient to protect your personal data to the standard required in its country of origin.
• Binding Corporate Rules: Where applicable, we rely on approved internal corporate rules that mandate strict data protection standards across the global bet365 group.

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to complete the recruitment process, after which we will only keep it for the minimum length of time required to comply with our internal risk management policies and relevant legal or regulatory obligations.

If your application is successful, your personal data will be transferred to your employee file and retained in accordance with our internal Employee Privacy Notice.

If your application is unsuccessful, we may retain your data for 12 months to consider you for future opportunities that we think you would be a good fit for, unless you choose to opt out. At the end of this 12-month period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

In certain circumstances, your personal data may be kept longer if we cannot delete it immediately for technical reasons, but whenever your data is retained by bet365, we will ensure that it is appropriately protected and only used for lawful purposes.

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. We will assist you if you choose to exercise any of these rights, which may include:

• Right to Access: Requesting a copy of the personal data we hold or process about you.
• Right to Correction (Rectification): Requesting that we correct any personal data that is incomplete, incorrect, or out of date.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Requesting that we delete your personal data where there is no lawful reason for us to continue processing it.
• Right to Restriction: Asking us to suspend or restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability: Asking us to provide you, or a nominated third party, with certain aspects of your personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to Object: Objecting to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on our legitimate interests.
• Rights regarding Automated Decision-Making: The ability to contest a recruitment decision made entirely by automated processing, to express your point of view, and to request that a human review the decision.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we are relying on your consent to process your data, you may withdraw it at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.
• Right to Complain: Lodging a complaint with your relevant local data protection regulator or supervisory authority.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Notice periodically to reflect changes in applicable laws, regulatory requirements, or our internal recruitment practices. Any revisions will be published on this page.

If we make material changes to how we process your personal data, we will take appropriate steps to notify you in advance. This may include posting a prominent notice on our careers website or, where appropriate and if you are actively engaged in the recruitment process, communicating with you directly via email. This ensures you have the opportunity to review and understand the changes before they take effect.
