SAP Commissions : GDPR Process

[yogananda]

What is GDPR?

As you have probably heard, the EU commission signed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) back in April 2016. The legislation is designed to help companies handle efficiently the data challenges of the 21st century and give strict guidelines as to how to work with massive flows of digital information. It is set to protect sales users (data subjects) from malicious use and loss of their personal info and, also, to give people greater control over how their records are processed.

GDPR is taken effect on May 25, 2018.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and is intended to synchronize data privacy laws across Europe, to safeguard and allow all EU citizens data privacy and to reform the way organizations across the region move toward data privacy.

This piece of legislation is to be enforced upon every firm that works with the personal data of EU citizens, not just businesses that reside in the EU.

SAP Commission GDPR Process Documentation

When a sales representative leaves a company, there are a number of GDPR-related considerations that need to be taken care of. These include:

• Obtaining the former employee's consent to continue processing their personal data. If the company wishes to continue processing the former employee's personal data, such as for marketing purposes, they must obtain the former employee's consent. This consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.


• Deleting personal data that is no longer necessary. The company must delete any personal data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. This includes personal data that is no longer necessary for the purposes of the employment relationship, such as contact information and performance reviews.


• Restricting access to personal data. The company must restrict access to personal data to those employees who need access to it in order to perform their job duties. This includes former employees who have been granted access to personal data for the purposes of transitioning to a new role within the company.


• Reporting data breaches to the former employee. If the company experiences a data breach that affects the personal data of former employees, they must report the data breach to the former employees as soon as possible.
