All of the discussion I've seen has been around the right to erasure. The disclosure provisions could have a large effect on employer-employee (or potential employee) relations, or none.
I'm not sure what, if any, of interview notes, performance reviews, or discussions about who to let go in a redundancy are "personal data" of the employee. I'm also not convinced anyone else does either.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoI think it's pretty clear that they are the personal data of employees. What is less clear is to who has a legitimate need to have that data and for how long (and hence who can keep that data without consent).
- kd5bjo 9y agoIf they're all the employee's personal data, then the employee has a right to a copy. So companies can't legally keep this kind of thing secret anymore -- you're entitled to know what interviewers said about you to management before you weren't hired for a job, what your coworkers said about you that factored into your performance review, email threads about their side of your salary negotiation, etc?
