HR Glossary

What is Data Privacy (HR)?

The principles, regulations, and practices governing how employers collect, store, process, and share employees' personal information, including sensitive data like Social Security numbers, medical records, salary details, and background check results.

Why it matters in hiring

Data Privacy (HR) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
