On May the 25th 2018 the European Union enacted the “General Data Protection Regulation”. This regulation has created a Data Protection Law fit for modern-day data requirements.
Our business operates in such a way where SME HR Consultancy Limited acts as both a controller and processor for the same client. In these circumstances we operate the same process and procedures regardless of the relationship.
Many of the supplier relationships we operate have SME HR Consultancy Limited acting as the controller. Suppliers within these relationships have received new terms of business to cement these processes and outline liabilities.
Where SME HR Consultancy Limited utilises a supplier, and access to the data held is granted but no ownership is given, we act as processor and, in these relationships, we act in accordance with the rules set out for a data processor in the GDPR document.
This is unless the supplier acting as the controller has provided terms of business to SME HR Consultancy Limited and they have been agreed.
SME HR Consultancy Limited will only accept liability for its own fines, penalties and sanctions if in fact SME HR Consultancy acted on its own instruction without outside influence and interaction.
SME HR Consultancy Limited will not accept liability for any 3rd party fines, penalties or sanctions issued to the supplier. We will not accept any responsibility by association and where required will provide information to the regulator when an appropriate request has issued.
SME HR Consultancy Limited is committed to securing our data by design and we will continually review our systems, processes and procedures to ensure that the business complies with the security requirements of the regulation.
If at any point a data breach is discovered, we will notify all parties in line with the regulatory requirements and act accordingly.
This statement has been provided to you as suppliers for your information and we expect that all suppliers will operate in compliance with GDPR.
Any supplier found to be ignoring the regulation or intentionally putting data shared with SME HR Consultancy Limited at risk of non-compliance will be contacted to resolve the situation, however if an agreement cannot be met then the supplier relationship will be terminated with appropriate notice.
