HR consultancy Hand & Heart has lodged a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) against recruitment consultancy Wiser over the handling of supposedly anonymous personal data used in its review of BrewDog company culture.
Hand & Heart created a complaints platform on behalf of current and former staff at the Ellon-based brewing company.
It claims that following a subject access request into Wiser - which was hired by BrewDog in June 2021 to conduct a review following complaints made by former staff group Punks With Purpose - information was passed on to the brewer without permission.
