GDPR & Data Protection

Headcount is designed with privacy and security at its core. Personal data is handled responsibly throughout the hiring process, following GDPR principles from the very beginning.

Lawful and transparent data processing

Candidate data is processed only for recruitment-related purposes, based on legitimate interest or explicit consent. We do not use candidate data for unrelated activities or unauthorized profiling.

Respect for candidate rights

Headcount supports all GDPR rights, including access to personal data, correction, deletion, and data portability. Candidates remain in control of their information at every stage of the hiring process.

Secure data handling

We use secure infrastructure and role-based access controls to ensure that personal data is accessible only to authorized users. Data protection measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

Clear data retention and control

Organizations using Headcount decide how long candidate data is stored. Data can be removed when it is no longer needed, helping teams stay compliant with retention policies.

Compliance support for your organization

Headcount helps companies meet GDPR obligations by providing transparency, structured processes, and clear data visibility without adding complexity to everyday hiring workflows.
