Like all other businesses across Europe, today a new Privacy Policy and Cookie Statement have come into effect for our business and our website, in accordance with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
As a business we’re quite fortunate to have set up when quite a lot of information was already available on the requirements and impacts of the GDPR. This meant that from the outset we were educating ourselves and were mindful of obtaining consent for data processing, and ensuring our (then relatively small amount of) data was ‘clean’. Nonetheless, it’s been a lot to learn and implement over the last few months!
But, now the flurry of GDPR emails requesting consent to process our data from businesses far and wide have been dealt with (or not!), we have no doubt that this will be a positive step for individuals and for the recruitment industry – ensuring that people’s personal information is handled responsibly and securely.
For those engaging with our website and our business, you can find all of the updated information using the links at the bottom of our homepage and here: Privacy Policy, Cookie Statement and Terms of Use. Additionally for candidates and potential candidates, we will be introducing a new, easier way for you to give your consent for us to process your data from next week.
We welcome any questions or comments, including from other small businesses on the GDPR journey. Contact Caroline on caroline@roselandpartners.com or +44 (0) 7974 579022.
