Last updated: 20/12/2025
1. Introduction
SecurityCareers.ie (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Platform”) is an online careers platform and job marketplace connecting Employers and Candidates within the security industry.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you use our website and services.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Irish data protection laws.
2. Data Controller
For the purposes of GDPR, SecurityCareers.ie is the data controller for personal data processed through the Platform.
Once an Employer lawfully accesses or downloads Candidate data (such as a CV or application details), that Employer becomes an independent data controller for that data.

6. Employer Access & Responsibility (IMPORTANT)
When a Candidate applies for a job or allows CV visibility:

- Employers may contact Candidates directly
- Employers process this data independently of SecurityCareers.ie
SecurityCareers.ie is not responsible for how Employers store, retain, or use Candidate data after access.
Candidates are advised to apply only to job listings and Employers they trust.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for Platform operation or legal purposes.
