GDPR Compliance
How Agent Recruiters complies with the General Data Protection Regulation.
Our Approach to GDPR
Agent Recruiters is committed to GDPR compliance. As both a data controller (for our customers' account data) and a data processor (for candidate data sourced on behalf of our customers), we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.
Lawful Basis for Processing
- Account data: Processed under contractual necessity (to provide the Service) and legitimate interest (to improve the Service)
- Candidate data: Sourced from publicly available professional profiles under legitimate interest for recruiting purposes. Our customers, as data controllers, are responsible for ensuring their use of candidate data complies with applicable laws
- Usage data: Processed under legitimate interest to maintain, secure, and improve the Service
Data Subject Rights
Under GDPR, individuals have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of personal data we hold
- Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure — Request deletion of personal data ("right to be forgotten")
- Portability — Request data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection — Object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Restriction — Request limitation of processing
To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We respond to all requests within 30 days.
Data Processing Agreements
We offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) to all customers. The DPA outlines our obligations as a data processor, including data handling procedures, sub-processor disclosures, and breach notification commitments. Contact [email protected] to request a DPA.
International Data Transfers
Our primary infrastructure is located in the United States. For transfers of personal data from the EU/EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach affecting personal data, we will notify affected customers within 72 hours and cooperate fully with any regulatory requirements.
