GDPR Statement

GDPR is a new paradigm for data protection rights in the UK. And, in particular, the rights of Data Subjects to control their own data – what it’s used for, who has it, and why.

General Data Protection Regulation

The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), which mirrors many of the core principles of the EU GDPR, sets the standard for data protection in the UK, including Northern Ireland. It focuses on empowering Data Subjects (individuals) to have control over their personal data—how it is collected, used, and shared. The UK GDPR requires businesses to ensure transparency and compliance, with significant penalties for non-compliance and data breaches.

At Access Healthcare Recruitment in Northern Ireland, we take our compliance with the UK GDPR and other relevant Data Protection laws very seriously. Since early 2017, we have been preparing for full compliance, including gathering consent from all candidates in our database, informing them of their rights as Data Subjects, and publishing our Data Privacy Policy. Our ongoing commitment ensures that both candidates and clients have peace of mind knowing their data is handled responsibly.

Benefits of Using a GDPR-Compliant Agency

By choosing Access Healthcare, you ensure that all candidate data provided to you is:

• Handled in a way that helps you avoid the significant penalties associated with UK GDPR non-compliance.

Additionally, Access Healthcare only supplies the necessary data required for the recruitment process, reducing your responsibility as a Data Controller. This means you store only the essential information needed, ensuring both compliance and simplicity in data management.
