Approval and the GDPR - some pragmatic reflections

In the past, privacy compliance was regarded as a legitimate ground by those controller who sought to legitimate their own handling of PII, either as the sole legitimate ground on which to rely or as a back-up if other reasons failed. However, the term of the agreement is maintained in the framework of the GDPR, its extent has itself modified.

Specifically, tightened conditions for proving a current informed consent combining with certain privileges exercised by relying on the informed agreement mean that controller (s) must thoroughly examine whether the informed agreement is indeed the most appropriate legal underpinning. That is all the more important as the enterprises must determine a only legal reason after the GDPR for each process of treatment.

There is no longer any opportunity to use permission as an opportunity. It is worthwhile itself to check the GDPR approval before we look at some samples that illustrate this point, the GDPR approval definition: "Every disclosed, specified, informed and unequivocal communication of the preferences of the data subjects by which they give their consent to the treatment of their own particulars by means of a declaration or a clear and positive act".

Taking this into account, the following hypotheses examine the use of informed consent as a legitimate basis for further treatment and how it may not be as simple as it initially seems. widget Retail is an internationally active company with 500 staff. The company gathers and treats the staff members' personally identifiable information for a number of different reasons, among which the management of the working relation, the payment of salary, the deduction of taxes, education, development, supervision and handling of discipline.

In the past, Widget Retail has obtained wide approval for the gathering and use of staff information. Under the GDPR compliancy scheme, Widget Retail considers its agreements and acceptance dependency to be the legitimate foundation for this work. Already with the first three words of the GDPR approval it becomes clear that Widget Retail will have a problems with the first three words of the GDPR approval if it still relies on the approval as legal foundation for the employees' computing.

Permission must be given on a voluntary basis, which means that there must be a genuine selection and monitoring on the part of a person with regard to the treatment of hisata. Part of this is also that a given approval can be revoked at any given moment without disadvantages for a certain use. In recital 43 it is stated that where there is a clear balance of powers between the person concerned and the controllers, authorisation cannot be given voluntarily and does not constitute a legally binding basis for the purposes of the process.

WP29's Article 29 Working Party Guideline Proposal (WP29) identifies an employer-employee relation as a likely unbalanced position and says: "WP29 considers it difficult for the employer to handle personally identifiable information of present or prospective workers on the grounds of informed consent, as it is unlikely that it will be disclosed.

The legal base for most of this workplace computing cannot and should not be employee consent". Staff may in fact find themselves under a lot of strain agreeing to Widget Retail's instructions in the labour agreement, especially if they don't want to look like molesters, so approval is not given voluntarily.

However, Widget Retail can depend on staff approval in certain restricted circumstances, such as when staff members process staff information as part of a volunteer system or under a performance agreement where staff members are free to decide whether or not to attend. The Widget Retail Group has attempted to pool a wide variety of uses for staff information under the terms of the labour agreement.

Whilst it may be appropriate under a contractual arrangement to foresee the handling of payroll and banking information to remunerate staff, the broader scope of staff handling may not all be directly necessary for the performance of the labour agreement. The Widget Retail also had many different uses for handling each employee's information under a common agreement.

Although in any case the authorisation is not irrelevant for this suggested process, it must be explicit in cases where an authorisation is truly appropriate, i.e. the authorisation of the person concerned, if given, should be given for an identifiable reason and not grouped. The Widget Retail must: Have a look at each of the uses for which it uses employees' personally identifiable information, and determine and record the legal reasons according to the GDPR that are applicable to each of them.

This includes, for example, the reasons for fulfilling the agreement for employees' salaries, interest earned on data processed in the context of overseeing service and disciplinary measures or, in the case of labour legislation, the reason why it is necessary to fulfil a statutory duty to which Widget Retail is exposed.

Instead of the current termination of agreement, Widget Retail must make available enhanced termination of agreement with or as part of the work agreement. It should include full information to staff about each of the purposes for which they process personally identifiable information and the underlying law for each one.

It is also necessary as part of Widget Retail's broader and distinct commitment to be open and to provide its staff with information about its processes. Exceptionally, where the agreement may still be of relevance, Widget Retail should check and upgrade the agreements to make sure that all the necessary agreement items are in place (i.e. that they are given voluntarily, are specified, kept up to date and clearly indicate the persons' wishes).

They must also make sure that staff are informed of their legal entitlements, their right to revoke permission and how to do so. The Widget Retail also has conditions with its clients in which it declares that personally identifiable information will be used for credit checking and credit reports in order to administer the client's bank accounts and to e-mail clients their quotes and the quotes of another Widget Retail Group entity.

Also here Widget Retail with this beginning will not be able to obtain a validation agreement after the GDPR for these different processabilities: this approach: The legal reasons for refusing to accept certain types of operation must continue to be specified and the'omnibus' agreements do not have the necessary level of detail. The agreement will not be of relevance for the various uses for which there may be alternate (and openly simpler) reasons.

You should only rely on approval when it is appropriate. However, if the process must be carried out without the agreement of the client, obtaining the agreement may lead to wrong expectation on the part of the client and may also be deceptive. Your agreement will not be given voluntarily if compliance with the Widget Retail Conditions is subject to your agreement to the use of your personal information for promotional activities that are not necessary to comply with these conditions.

The Widget Retail branding includes various uses, its own branding and branding by the other Widget Retail Group companies. Special approvals must be obtained for each use. If Widget Retail's approval is necessary for it to market, it must be granted. Widget will also be able to offer its clients more comprehensive information to make sure that its processes are available, understandable, transparent and in clear and understandable terms.

After verification should be Widget Retail now: Uncover all the different uses for which it is processing customers' personally identifiable information and determine and record the right legal justification for each use. Examples include justified interests in connection with credit verification and credit reports, fulfillment of contracts in connection with the provision of services to clients, or billing and approval in connection with merchandising.

Remove the permission for your campaign from the client's conditions and look for permission to market at the point where the client applies for a widget retail subscription on-line. Segregated Approvals Approvals for e-mail merchandising from Widget Retail and the other affiliate should be divided into distinct checkboxes so that in both cases the client can clearly indicate whether they wish to do so.

Information about the right to revoke the informed consent Give the customer clear information about their right to revoke their informed consent, as well as information about the available mechanisms to do this simply, in addition to the authorizations for permission to market. This should involve giving particulars of each of the individual purpose of the data treatment and the legislative base on which the retailer relies in each case as part of his wider commitment to transparency and information provision.

Make sure that the data protection statement is clear and available to your clients, including the link to it from the bottom of the Widget Retail website and on the applications page of your client area. Retrieve your current permissions Determine whether a new customer's permission needs to be obtained from your current clients and set up procedures to do so legally.

Where this is not possible, another legal base must be used to legitimate the process for the purposes in question. Where this is not possible, the information may no longer be used for this purposes and may have to be erased.
