What is Data Protection Policy?

A formal organizational policy that governs how the company collects, processes, stores, shares, and disposes of personal data belonging to employees, candidates, customers, and other individuals, in compliance with applicable data privacy laws like GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific regulations.

Why it matters in hiring

Data Protection Policy 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.
