GDPR Readiness with HackerRank
During the course of recruiting, an organization needs to collect personally identifiable data from candidates. This information is crucial to build a profile of the candidate. At HackerRank, we help our customers perform an automated evaluation of these candidates by using our assessment platform. Because we process candidates on behalf of our customers, according to GDPR, we are considered a Data Processor and our customers are regarded as Data Controllers.
In the capacity of a Data Processor, all the candidate information we receive or collect is handled securely with adequate data protection. Our incident response plan addresses any unforeseen incident that can put customers’ candidates’ personal information at risk, in accordance with the Article 32 of the GDPR regulation.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at privacy@hackerrank.com.
