Hello Community,

I have a question about data protection in Personio:

In addition to informing our employees about the use of Personio, do we also need to ask for their consent or have them sign something?

We're currently not sure about this.

Hallo Community,

ich habe eine Frage zum Datenschutz in Personio:

Müssen wir unsere Mitarbeiter neben der Information zur Nutzung von Personio auch beispielsweise nach Ihrer Zustimmung fragen oder sie unterschreiben lassen?

Da sind wir uns aktuell noch nicht sicher

 

Hello @maxik 😃

Have you considered posting your question in our German community? This might help answer your question even quicker! 

Hi @maxik,

I have translated your post to English, since this platform is used by users from different countries. Make sure to share any post in English so that others can answer your questions and take part in your discussions 😊

Personio is not responsible for the individual consent of employees. In our AVV/Addendum it is outlined that:

3.1 The Controller shall be responsible for its own compliance with the GDPR in relation to the use of the Software and Services (as applicable).

P.S. As already highlighted by @Moe, if you rather communicate in German, make sure to visit our DACH Community, where this is the official language.

I hope this helps, and I wish you a lovely day!

Best,

Valentina 😀

Under GDPR, processing personal data may not require employee consent if it’s necessary for the performance of a contract (such as employment) or to comply with legal obligations. Consent might not be needed if Personio is being used purely for administrative purposes within the company, like managing payroll, data enrichment, or similar necessary functions.
