The GDPR
Taking effect on 25 May 2018, the GDPR is the new framework for data protection laws in Europe. Due to increasingly technologically driven and globalised data communications, the GDPR readdresses personal data transfers for EU citizens to ensure greater data control and security, within and outside the EU.
Data and Graduate Recruitment Bureau
GRB, which includes our subsidiary companies The GRB Group, Early Talent Academy, Graduate Recruiters Network, Graduate Mentor and Metrica Recruitment, take data privacy and security seriously. We have carefully complied with the Data Protection Directive 1995 and Data Protection Act 1998, have strong data security measures in place, and have never sold or exchanged jobseeker or client data. GRB are now committed to meeting the requirements of the GDPR to further strengthen our data processing and user control of data.
Compliance with the GDPR
As part of our meeting the standards of the GDPR, the following are examples of areas of compliance that will take effect by 25 May 2018:
Privacy Policy
This will be easily accessible via our websites, outlining how data is collected and processed in line with the GDPR.
Right to be Forgotten
Users will more easily be able to request deletion of data via email and online request forms, including the full deletion of user accounts.
