HUMAN RESOURCES AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION: AN INDISSOLUBLE RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

Starting from the application file, payroll information, medical file and getting to employees’ internet behaviour or the images taken through the surveillance camera, these personal data are processed by employers all around the world. As the essence of the human resources is dealing with various types of information on the individuals working within an organization, it is of great importance to have a clear outline on how this data is to be processed. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides a comprehensive framework that helps smoothing the unfolding of the indissoluble relationship between HR activities and data protection methods.
