April 23rd, 2024 – Employees’ right of access to their personal data: what documents must the employer provide its employees who exercise this right?
An article by Joëlle Hannelais (partner) and Marine Segura (associate) published on Mondaq.
This article addresses the following questions:
- What information is “personal data” to which employees may have access under Article 15?
- Are the objectives and purposes of the GDPR relevant to identify ‘personal data’?
- What data can be considered as actually relating to the individual?
- What limits to the exercise of the right of access can the employer impose?
Joëlle and Marine’s article provides concrete elements of response to all these questions, after recalling that the right of access under Article 15 of the RGPD is not an absolute right and that it can only be exercised in strict compliance with the objectives of the GDPR.
