# Is my information safe?

# Is my information safe?

When you complete a background check through Right Person, you’re sharing personal information.  
We understand that — and that’s why it’s essential that you know how your data is handled, and that you feel safe throughout the entire process.


## What does it mean to give consent?

Before we can begin the background check, you must give us permission this is done by giving your consent in the portal.

Consent confirms that:

* You understand what will be checked  
* You agree that we carry out the check on behalf of the employer  

When you give consent, you’ll see:

* What information will be collected  
* Why it is collected  
* How it will be used  

> You are in full control of the process and can withdraw your consent at any time.  
> You’ll always be able to read the full consent declaration before confirming.



## Who can see my information?

Access to your data is limited and strictly controlled. Only the following parties have access:

* The **customer** who ordered the background check  
* **Right Person**, which performs the check and quality-assures the information  
* **Relevant sources**, such as educational institutions or previous employers — only to verify the information you’ve provided  

> We never share your information with others and only use it for the purpose you’ve consented to.



## How do you protect my data?

We comply with the **GDPR** and Norwegian data protection laws, and handle your information securely and responsibly:

* Your data is stored **encrypted**  
* Access is limited to **authorized personnel**  
* Data is automatically deleted after **12 months** (unless legally required to retain it longer)  
* If we contact sources outside the EEA, we use approved **security mechanisms**  

> You can trust that your information is treated with respect.

Here’s how:

1. Send an email to [legal@rightperson.com](mailto:legal@rightperson.com)  
2. We will stop further processing of your data
