GDPR for employers

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) places high demands on how employers handle and protect personal data. It covers everything from the collection and storage of data to how it is shared and deleted. For employers, this means a responsibility to ensure that the processing of employees’ and consultants’ personal data is carried out in a way that meets the strict requirements of the regulations. This can include establishing policies, conducting risk analyses and managing any personal data incidents. Although compliance may seem complicated, it is entirely possible to create clear and sustainable procedures that ensure that the company complies with the law.

What is particularly important is that employees and other data subjects are provided with a properly designed personal data policy that complies with the GDPR's requirements, including the so-called 13-point list that describes what data must be provided and what rights the data subjects have.
