Privacy Policy.

Introduction

This notice and information applies across all websites that we own and operate and all services
we provide, including our online and mobile HRIS services products, and any other apps or services we may offer (for example,
events or training). For the purpose of this notice, we refer to the services we provide as our ‘services’.

 

When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about an individual, like their
name, email, address, telephone number, bank account details, payment information, support queries, community comments and
so on. If a person can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this notice
doesn’t apply.

 

We may need to update this notice from time to time. Where a change is significant, we will
inform those users that may be affected that we have an obligation to inform – usually by sending an email.

data that those users enter into the system on behalf of or relating to your workers (employees, volunteers, candidates, etc). As
controllers, responsibility for the correct and appropriate collection and use of information processed by enableHR is the
responsibility of the customer managing that data.

 

enableHR will to the extent we are able assist the controller in ensuring compliance with their
obligations under the GDPR by providing the relevant information to the controller upon reasonable request. This includes
providing access to relevant data not readily available to the controller through enableHR’s services, or providing information
relating to enableHR’s architecture and security mechanisms.

volunteer, or other relationship with a business, that particular business is responsible for providing you access with the relevant
information from our systems, and for ensuring the accuracy of that information.

included in each of those communications to unsubscribe.
