GDPR Compliance Statement
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) came into force on 25 May 2018.
The new Regulation aims to standardise data protection laws and processing across the EU,
giving people greater rights to access and control their personal information.

Our Commitment
Techtak Recruitment are committed to ensuring protection of all personal information that
we hold, and to provide and to protect all such data. We recognise our obligations in updating
and expanding this program to meet the requirements of GDPR.
Techtak Recruitment are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our
control and in maintaining a system that meets our obligations under the new regulations. Our
practice is summarised below.

How We Prepared for GDPR
Techtak Recruitment Ltd already have a consistent level of data protection and security across
our organisation, but we have introduced new measures to ensure compliancy.
Information Audit — We carried out an audit of information previously held and ensured that it
was compliant with the new regulations.

Policies and Procedures

We have revised data protection policies and procedures to meet the requirements and standards of the GDPR and any relevant data protection laws, including:
Data Protection – our main policy and procedure document for data protection has been revised
to meet the standards and requirements of the GDPR. Accountability and governance measures
are in place to ensure that we understand and adequately disseminate and evidence our
obligations and responsibilities; with a dedicated focus on privacy and the rights of individuals.
Data Retention and Erasure – we have updated our retention policy and schedule to ensure that
we meet the “data minimisation” and “storage limitation” principles and that personal information
is stored, archived and destroyed in accordance with our obligations. We have procedures in
place to meet the new “Right to Erasure” obligation.
Data Breaches – our procedures ensure that we have safeguards in place to identify, assess,
investigate and report any personal data breach as early as possible. Our procedures have
been explained all employees.
International Data Transfers and Third-Party Disclosures – where Techtak Recruitment
stores or transfers personal information outside the EU, we have robust procedures in place to
secure the integrity of the data. Our procedures include a continual review of the countries with
sufficient adequacy decisions, as well as binding rules, or standard data protection clauses for
those countries without.
Subject Access Request (SAR) – we have revised our SAR procedures to accommodate the
revised 30-day timeframe for providing the requested information and for making this provision
free of charge
Privacy Notice/Policy – we have revised our Privacy Notice(s) to comply with the GDPR,
ensuring that all individuals whose personal information we process have been informed of why
we need it, how it is used, what their rights are, who the information is disclosed to and what
safeguarding measures are in place to protect their information.

considered high risk, we have developed stringent procedures for carrying out impact
assessments that comply fully with the GDPR’s Article 35 requirements. We have implemented
documentation processes that record each assessment, allow us to rate the risk posed by the
processing activity and implement mitigating measures to reduce the risk posed to the data
subject(s).

behalf (ie Payroll, Recruitment, Hosting, etc), we have drafted compliant Processor Agreements
