Data Privacy and Compliance with GDPR & CCPA

With the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, data privacy became a top priority worldwide. Similarly, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has brought strong data privacy rights to U.S.-based employees. These regulations impact how personal data is handled, including performance review data, requiring organizations to safeguard employee information.

Why Data Privacy in Performance Reviews is Important

Performance reviews often include sensitive data about an employee's performance, goals, and feedback. Privacy regulations are vital to ensure that:

• Employee Rights are Protected: GDPR and CCPA empower individuals with rights to access, correct, or delete their data.

• Organizations Avoid Penalties: Violations of GDPR or CCPA can result in significant fines, especially for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions.

• Historical Background: GDPR originated in Europe to unify data privacy standards across the EU. Its principles are now being adopted worldwide, with data protection laws emerging globally.

• Current Relevance: With the increased use of digital platforms for HR management, organizations face higher scrutiny in protecting employee data.
