GDPR for HR

We recognise that HR teams are increasingly responsible for handling large amounts of personal data and that navigating complex data protection legislation can be tricky.

It is important that your team understands how to handle all personal data in compliance with the UK GDPR and employee rights. Our expert GDPR for HR team is well versed in all aspects of employment related data protection law and can assist your HR team in ensuring UK GDPR compliance across all employment related matters. We can also provide training tailored to the specific needs of individual clients. 

How we can help

Examples of areas which we regularly advise on include:

• AI in the workplace
• Data retention
• Data security and breaches
• Data subject rights
• Diversity data
• Employee monitoring and surveillance
• International data transfers
• Privacy information and risk assessment
• Whistleblowing and data

Our GDPR for HR offering also includes handling employment-related data subject access requests ("DSARs") on behalf of our clients. This is a well-established area of practice for us and we have a wealth of DSAR experience within our Partner-led specialist team, including dedicated DSAR paralegals. This means we can act quickly and efficiently to support clients. We take strategic considerations into account as part and parcel of the data review, identifying any data protection and employment law issues and providing specific strategic advice on these if required. 

• Strategic advice on specific documents or aspects of a review.
• Review and redaction of the data.
• Provision of the final disclosure pack with accompanying documentation.
• Advising clients on their dealings with the Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO"), for example where a data subject has submitted a complaint to the ICO about our client's handling of their DSAR.
• Flexible pricing options (including fixed prices).
• Assistance with other types of DSARs (not related to employment).
