    The UK has a domestic law identical to the GDPR (usually referred to as UK GDPR if the distinction is needed). It was implemented before we actually left the EU

      So just plain illegal then. But who’s going to stop them?

        If they kept data without telling you, yes. If they just deleted it after rejecting or ignoring your application then I don’t think they need to say anything

        Here’s the .gov page for how to make a complaint about it if you do think that they’re getting up to shit https://www.gov.uk/data-protection/make-a-complaint

        Also, just… Good luck, and stay strong. Job hunting really is a fucking miserable experience
