GDPR Compliance Details
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a cornerstone of our compliance strategy. We've implemented comprehensive measures to ensure our employee monitoring solutions respect the privacy rights of European data subjects while providing valuable insights to organizations.
Atria ensures that our customers have a lawful basis for processing employee data through our platform. We recommend that organizations rely on one of the following legal bases:
- Legitimate Interests: Organizations may have legitimate interests in monitoring employee productivity, ensuring security, and optimizing workflows.
- Performance of Contract: Monitoring may be necessary for the performance of employment contracts.
- Legal Obligation: Certain industries have regulatory requirements that necessitate monitoring.
We provide guidance to customers on conducting legitimate interest assessments and balancing tests to ensure privacy rights are respected while achieving business objectives.
Transparency is a core requirement of GDPR. Atria provides customers with:
- Template monitoring notices that clearly explain what data is collected, how it's used, and why
- System features that remind employees when monitoring is active
- Customizable privacy notifications that can be tailored to organizational policies
- Employee-facing dashboards that provide visibility into collected data
Our platform includes features to verify that employees have acknowledged monitoring notices, helping organizations demonstrate compliance with GDPR transparency requirements.
Atria's platform is designed to collect only the data necessary for the specified monitoring purpose:
- Granular controls allow organizations to collect only relevant data for specific purposes
- Automated data retention policies ensure data is kept only as long as necessary
- Privacy-preserving analytics focus on patterns rather than individual-level surveillance
- Technical measures prevent the collection of sensitive personal data unless explicitly justified
We conduct regular data protection impact assessments on our platform features to ensure they adhere to minimization principles.
Our platform includes built-in capabilities to help organizations respect data subject rights:
- Access: Employee self-service portal allows access to monitoring data
- Rectification: Tools to correct inaccurate data and activity classifications
- Erasure: Capabilities to delete specific data points when appropriate
- Restriction: Options to temporarily suspend monitoring for specific employees
- Data Portability: Export functionality in machine-readable formats
- Objection: Workflow for handling and documenting objection requests
We provide comprehensive documentation to assist customers in responding to data subject requests in a timely manner.
For customers with international operations, we offer:
- EU-based data hosting options with no transfers outside the EEA
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) incorporated into our Data Processing Agreement
- Transfer Impact Assessments to evaluate and mitigate risks
- Region-specific data residency options for organizations with strict localization requirements
We continuously monitor developments in international data transfer regulations and update our practices accordingly.
