# GDPR You can navigate to a candidate profile from the [candidate search](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/manage-candidates/candidate-search) or from a [context menu](https://docs.kisrec.com/setup-your-account/introduction#context-menus) where the option is available. {% hint style="info" %} Please read the [GDPR](https://docs.kisrec.com/compliance/gdpr) guide for further information. {% endhint %} Select the **GDPR** Tab.

## Candidate GDPR Status When a candidate is added to your database their GDPR status will **not** show as compliant until the candidate has opted in, either by completing the online [registration form](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/candidate-profile/registration) or by being actively engaged with your agency, which must be within 30 days of the candidate being added. If a candidate's last active engagement falls outside your data retention policy, their GDPR status will show as Action Required and you should reengage with the candidate to either regain opt-in permission or agree to delete the candidate's personal data from your database. {% hint style="info" %} Please see the [agency settings guide](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/candidate-profile/broken-reference) for help configuring your data retention policy and oral consent script. {% endhint %} You can update a candidate GDPR opt-in status by using the [Called In Available](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/called-in-available) feature or by creating a [Tracker.](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/candidate-profile/broken-reference) Both features give you the opportunity to read your GDPR oral consent script to the candidate to gain oral opt-in permission. If a candidate opted in via the the online [registration](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/candidate-profile/registration) form, the audit log entry provides a link to the [candidate terms](https://docs.kisrec.com/setup-your-account/upload-candidate-terms-file) document that was in use at that time. The audit log also records the oral consent script that was in use at the time the candidate provided opt-in permission via the the [Called In Available](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/called-in-available) and [Tracker ](https://docs.kisrec.com/candidates/candidate-profile/broken-reference)features.
