About this Code

This is our code of practice on how we use the information we collect about you when you apply for a job with the Ministry of Defence. It explains the procedures we follow and the standards you can expect from us. It explains also your rights and how you can get access to the information we hold about you.

Your rights are protected by the Data Protection Act 1998 which came into force on 1 March 2000. This code of practice does not replace the law; it aims to show how we will comply with the law when we use the information that we collect.
