EmploymentCONNECT respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website, how it is used and your rights in relation to your personal data.
Who We Are
EmploymentCONNECT is a partnership supporting employers across Aberdeenshire with recruitment, workforce development, training, funding opportunities and related employment support.
EmploymentCONNECT is managed by the Employment Support Team at Aberdeenshire Council.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Aberdeenshire Council is the data controller for personal information collected through this website and through enquiries made to EmploymentCONNECT. This means Aberdeenshire Council is responsible for deciding how and why your personal information is used and for ensuring that it is handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Where your enquiry involves support provided by another EmploymentCONNECT partner, relevant information may be shared with that organisation where appropriate and in accordance with data protection requirements. Where a partner subsequently provides a service directly to you or your organisation, that partner may have its own responsibilities for the personal information it collects and processes.
