What is Subject Access Request (UK / EU)?
An individual's right under GDPR Article 15 and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 to obtain a copy of all personal data an organisation holds about them, along with information about how that data is processed, shared, and retained.
Why it matters in hiring
Subject Access Request (UK / EU) 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.
