    Due to the nature of our business, sometimes we may act as a data controller, sometimes we act as a data processor.<\/p>\n

    Where we act as the \u2018data controller\u2019 of your personal data, this means we determine how and why your personal data is processed and this privacy notice will apply to you.<\/p>\n

    Where we act as the \u2018data processor\u2019 of your personal data (for example, if your employer uses the services of The HR Dept) this means we are acting on their behalf and processing your personal data under their instructions, and we would recommend you review their data privacy information; it is likely that they are the data controller and will be best placed to help.<\/p>\n

    If you are an employee of The HR Dept current team customer, job applicant or previous team customer we have created specific policies for you, and they will have been made available to you at the appropriate point in time.<\/p>\n

    • When your company or employing company enters into a client agreement with a business in The HR Dept and provides information about you to that HR Dept business for the purposes of receiving HR services.
