GDPR Compliance

GDPR Compliance

What is GDPR?

GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is a new legislation addressing data protection and privacy for all individuals and businesses residing or doing business in the European Union. The law ensures high standards for controlling and processing personal data. The regulations will reshape the way residents and businesses not just in EU but around the globe approach data privacy.

Why should you have a GDPR compliant HR system?

Compliance with the GDPR is paramount for HR departments precisely because HR processes invariably collect and process a great amount of employee data. As an HRMS that gathers and processes all this information, Zoho People ensures you have full control over all sensitive information.

Right to Erasure

Zoho People is designed to ensure that admins can delete personal information whenever an employee requests. The HR or admin can select particular data fields that need to be deleted.

Right to Restrict Processing

The GDPR stipulates that individuals have the right to request their data controller to restrict processing of data. As a data processor, Zoho People allows admins to cease processing data upon receipt of an employee request.

Right to Data Portability

Zoho People makes exporting data easy, while ensuring a high level of security with options for password-protected exports.

Furthermore, IP and Geo restrictions will enable location-based access control. The admin will be able to give access to particular modules and locations.
