Europe's new privacy policy law intends to give more control to individuals over their personal data. This control over information is given through a few rights. Zoho Recruit has brought in features to make you be compliant under GDPR.
Based on user feedback, we have reworded "consent" into "Opt-In". The functionality remains the same. "Consent Declined Candidates" view name has been changed to "Opted-Out Candidates."<\/i><\/span><\/p>

What are the different rights which an individual (or a candidate) is entitled to?<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Right to be informed.<\/span><\/h2>

<\/p>

Zoho Recruit helps you to be compliant under GDPR and keeping your candidates in the know is the first step towards it. You can now inform applicants about what information you want from them, why you need it, how long you're going to hold it, and what you intend to do with it.<\/span><\/p>

Changes in the system are with regard to applicants (candidates who are not in your system) and candidates (who are already in your system).
<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Right to access.<\/span><\/h2>

<\/p>

To ensure the right to access, Zoho Recruit offers Candidate Login wherein candidates can access their information anytime and know about the jobs they had applied for.
To enable Candidate Login, go to Setup<\/b> > Career<\/b> Website<\/b> > Enable<\/b> Candidate<\/b> Login<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Right to rectification.<\/span><\/h2>

<\/p>

Enabling Candidate Login will give candidates the right to correct their personal data.
<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Right to erasure.<\/span><\/h2>

<\/p>

You should be able to erase candidates' personal data should they request it, provided there's no "compelling reason" for you to continue storing/processing their data.
To erase a candidate's data, go to Candidates<\/b> > select a candidate's record<\/i> > More<\/b> Actions<\/b> > Delete<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

    <\/span><\/p>
