Main Purposes of Keeping Personal Data

Personal data of serving and former civil servants and non-civil service contract staff employed by CSB are held for a range of employment-related purposes including appointments, integrity checking, postings and transfers, offer/renewal/extension of agreement, incremental credit, training and career development, revision of terms or conditions of service, promotion, conduct and discipline, legal assistance, relevant housing benefits, continuation in or removal from office, pensions, retirement benefits, and provision of testimonials. Some personal particulars may be published in Government publications.
