DEFINITIONS

Data regulation:

The GDPR Data Protection regulations taking effect from 25th May 2018, specifically ((EU)2016/679) In the event the GDPR is no longer applicable in the UK the prevailing Data Protection act 1998 will constitute the legal framework for data protection. Similarly, in the event new regulations take effect which supersede GDPR and/or the data protection act 1998, Vacancysoft LLP will provide an update to our terms to ensure ongoing compliance.

Personal Data:

The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular in reference to an identifier.

This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute personal data, including their name and even pseudonym in the event it is easy to attribute it to a particular individual.

Sensitive Personal Data:

The GDPR refers to sensitive personal data as “special categories of personal data.” Special categories include genetic, biometric, ethnic or religious data amongst other categories.
