In brief

Welcome to the first edition of our quarterly HR Privacy newsletter brought to you by the London employment team designed to keep you updated with key cases, legal developments, trends and news relating to UK and EU-wide employment / HR data privacy matters. 


This newsletter includes an interesting decision of the employment tribunal considering whether an employee had a reasonable expectation of privacy over private Facebook posts, recent guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on data subject access requests, and the adoption of the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework which will provide welcome relief in the short term for transatlantic commerce and data privacy protection.
