I hadn’t considered GDPR from the perspective of a company collecting/maintaining data about employees (as opposed to clients, prospects, website visitors etc.). Do the same rules apply inside a company for an employee as they do for a user of a web service? Can I, for example, request a copy of all identifiable data collected and maintained about me by my company in the same way I might request it of Facebook or Twitter?
- proaralyst 8y agoYes. You can request a copy of any personal information held by any company. This is a pre-GDPR right too.
- docdeek 8y agoI was not aware of this - thanks for the reply.
- Symbiote 8y agoFor a non-creepy company, an employee request can be more concerning than a customer. They might know the systems in detail, and have information spread around all of them. Former employees can also make a request. (This is not a new right, it was in the earlier Data Protection Regulation.)
