New Privacy Rules - May 2018

Any future amendments will be notified on this page which you should refer to from time to time to ensure you are aware of the most up to date information.

Our Privacy Notice must state where we have obtained your personal data from. As we obtain personal data from various sources, we  have a Privacy Notice for when personal data is obtained directly from the data subject, for example where a job seeker applies for a job we may advertise or registers for work with us; and another for when personal data is obtained by us from a 3rd party such as a job board where a jobseekers cv has been posted for searching by prospective employers. We will notify you of which method we have used to initially obtain your personal data. A copy of each Privacy Notice is set out below. to download a copy please click the pdf icon. You can also download a copy of the REC flyer for information about rights under GDPR.
