Sauce Recruitment – Privacy Notice:

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRIVACY NOTICE?

This Privacy Notice explains how Sauce Recruitment Ltd looks after your personal data when we provide our services to you and our clients, in accordance with applicable legislation intended to protect your personal data and privacy, including the General Data Protection Regulation and related laws. We also explain what your rights are.

2018 will see one of the biggest changes to UK data privacy laws as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is introduced across Europe on 25th May 2018.

GDPR will not change the ways we use your personal information. We have always and will continue to value all data you share with us whilst keeping it secure at all times. Whilst the law may be changing, our commitment to looking after your data stays the same.

Where we refer to “Sauce” or “we” or “the company”, we mean Sauce Recruitment Ltd.

WHAT IS GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new law coming into force across the European Union (EU).

The law also gives individuals the ability to exercise their rights such as correcting or accessing their data.
