Protecting data. Preserving trust.

Data protection is fundamental to how we operate. We manage personal information with precision, transparency and care to ensure that our clients and their relocating talent remain protected at all times.

Data security is always a priority.

Information security is built into every system, service and process.

We apply the highest standards of data protection in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the EU & UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant international privacy laws. Our Information Security Management System (ISMS), certified to ISO 27001:2022, defines clear controls for data storage, access and transfer.

All client and their global talent's information is stored securely on encrypted servers with controlled access permissions, regular penetration testing and data-loss prevention tools. Each system is reviewed and maintained by dedicated IT and compliance teams to ensure ongoing alignment with both regulatory and contractual requirements.

Global privacy principles.

We treat privacy as a universal right, not a regional requirement.

K2 Relocate operates globally, handling data across multiple jurisdictions. Our privacy framework aligns with GDPR principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation and minimisation. Data transfers between regions are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and strict internal protocols to ensure compliance with local laws.

We ensure that:

Data is collected and processed only for legitimate business purposes.
Individuals are informed about how their data is used and stored.
Retention policies ensure data is only held for as long as necessary.
All third-party suppliers meet the same stringent standards through contractual obligations and regular reviews.
