This page summarises the data protection rights that may be available to individuals under the UK GDPR and, where relevant, the EU GDPR. The exact scope of a right can depend on the circumstances and on whether an exemption applies.
Your rights may include
- The right to be informed about how your personal data is collected and used.
- The right of access to obtain confirmation that we process your data and to receive a copy of relevant personal data and supplementary information.
- The right to rectification if personal data is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to erasure in certain circumstances, sometimes called the right to be forgotten.
- The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
- The right to data portability for certain data processed by automated means where the lawful basis is consent or contract.
- The right to object to certain processing, including some direct marketing and certain processing based on legitimate interests.
- Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling where legally applicable.
How to make a request
Email info@borderlesstalenthub.com with the subject line Data Rights Request and describe what you want us to do. To help us respond efficiently, include:
- your full name and contact details;
- the capacity in which you dealt with us, such as candidate, client contact, supplier, or website visitor;
- the right you wish to exercise; and
- enough detail for us to identify the relevant records.
Identity verification
We may ask for information to verify your identity before responding to a request, particularly if the request relates to sensitive data, payroll details, or candidate records.
Timing
We aim to respond within the period required by applicable law. In many cases this is within one month, although that period can be extended where requests are complex or numerous.
When we may refuse or limit a request
Some rights are not absolute. For example, we may retain or continue to process information where we have a legal obligation, an overriding legitimate reason, or another lawful ground to do so. We may also redact third-party information or rely on other lawful exemptions where applicable.
Direct marketing
You can object to direct marketing at any time. If you do, we will stop using your personal data for that direct marketing purpose.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your request, please contact us first at info@borderlesstalenthub.com. If you are in the UK, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
