GDPR Policy
Below is our GDPR policy outlining the system under which all personal data collected from you or provided by you via applications, email, and postal correspondence is managed.
We encourage you to read our policy to understand Blue Forge Recruitment’s procedures for processing and storing your personal data.
Blue Forge Recruitment is registered as a data controller in the Republic of Ireland for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament concerning the protection of natural persons in relation to personal data processing and free data movement.
We confirm that all data you provide is processed fairly, lawfully, and diligently, supported by end-to-end encryption and robust software security packages. We guarantee that your data is used solely for the purposes outlined in this policy.
We collect and use your personal data to facilitate the recruitment process you have requested. By using our website and submitting or registering your details, you consent to us collecting and processing your personal data. This typically includes your CV, contact details, proof of identification, and eligibility to work in Ireland.
When you apply for a role advertised by Blue Forge Recruitment, whether through our website, direct email, or third-party job boards, you consent to us storing and processing your personal data. This data may be used to:
- Store your data in a secure database with your consent for future vacancy opportunities.
- Submit your information, with your permission, to clients for vacancy considerations.
- Use your contact details to communicate with you about relevant vacancies, potential roles, and additional services like interview coaching, CV preparation, and job offer discussions.
We also use your contact details, with prior consent, to provide references for our clients and to facilitate onboarding with client organizations. You will be informed and have the option to refuse.
Additionally, we may disclose your data to comply with applicable laws, court orders, or legal requirements related to crime detection, tax collection, or duties.
This list is not exhaustive, and we may process, use, or disclose your data for other purposes with your explicit consent.
Your personal data is accessible to Blue Forge Recruitment employees, who are trained in GDPR guidelines and principles and equipped with secure IT systems to handle your data appropriately. Your information is stored and processed within the EU.
If we need to transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area, we will seek your permission beforehand and take all necessary steps to ensure your privacy rights are protected as detailed in this policy.
We highly value your personal information and strive to protect it as we do our own. We will contact you periodically regarding appropriate opportunities, but you can also contact us to update your personal data to ensure it is current.
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard your information. Despite our efforts to ensure data security, we acknowledge that no internet transmission is completely secure. Consequently, Blue Forge Recruitment cannot accept liability for any unauthorized third-party access to your information during transmission.
If you wish to have your personal data removed from our database, please email us at [email address]. In the event of a change in ownership of Blue Forge Recruitment, we will notify you of any asset transfers, including your personal data, and provide an option to opt out. The new entity will adhere to the terms of this privacy policy, and you will have the opportunity to have your data permanently removed.
Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted on our website to keep you informed of the information we collect and how it is used. If we plan to use your personal information in a manner inconsistent with this policy, we will notify you in advance, and you can decide whether to allow us to continue processing and storing your information.
To request the deletion of your data, please email our designated Data Protection Officer (DPO), Sean Thomas, Sean@blueforgerecruitment.ie We will only refuse your request if legally obligated and will provide reasons for any such refusal. Data will only be retained as long as legally required.
