At PharmaCeterra, we take the protection of your personal data seriously and are committed to adhering to the principles set forth by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act. PharmaCeterra Executive Search, registered in the Republic of Ireland (Company Registration No. 750111), operates in full compliance with these regulations.

As a recruitment company focused on attracting top talent within the pharmaceutical sector, we collect and process personal data to deliver recruitment solutions that help our clients access the best talent in the industry.
This privacy policy outlines how and why we collect, process, and safeguard your personal data, and explains your rights as a data subject under GDPR.
Legal Basis for Processing
When you voluntarily submit your personal details and CV to engage our recruitment services, we rely on Article 6(b) of the GDPR as the legal basis for processing your data, as it is necessary to fulfil the service agreement. This also allows us to share your details with prospective employers as part of your application process. Should you apply for a specific position, your information will only be shared with the corresponding employer.
You may choose to submit additional sensitive information, classified under GDPR as “special categories of data” (e.g., health-related information or disability status). While this is not required for our recruitment services, if provided, we will treat it with strict confidentiality and only share it with potential employers with your explicit consent, as required by Article 9(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time by emailing [email protected], and we will promptly remove the information from our records.
How We Collect Personal Data
We gather your personal information through several channels, including:
- Email applications
- LinkedIn profiles
- Direct communication (via text, phone, Skype and MS Teams)
- Referrals from other candidates
- Educational institutions and industry job boards
Please note that official applications are only processed once you submit your CV through our secure web portal.

- Name, address, email, and phone numbers
- Employment history and skill set (from your CV)
- Educational qualifications
- Salary expectations, references, and career preferences (after shortlisting)
If you apply via LinkedIn, you can opt to automatically import your LinkedIn profile into our database.
How Do We Use and Share Your Data?
Your personal data is accessed solely by PharmaCeterra employees and will only be shared with prospective employers when you apply for a specific role, and with your prior approval. We do not sell or share your data with third parties, except in the event of a business sale or acquisition, where your data may be transferred as part of the transaction, with your privacy continuing to be respected.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal information for three years to assist in your career progression. At the end of this period, we will contact you to update your information. If you wish to have your data removed at any point, please simply email us [email protected] and all data will be deleted.
