What happens to employee information after they leave?

When an employee leaves an organisation, their privacy rights don't leave with them. From accessing former employees' emails and managing personnel files to providing references and deciding what information to keep or delete, the end of employment can raise some surprisingly tricky privacy questions.

In this session, we'll explore what employers need to consider when managing personal information after someone leaves, including access to former employees' accounts, retention and disposal of employment records, and responding to requests for personal information.

We'll share practical guidance to help organisations manage employee departures while meeting their privacy obligations and avoiding common pitfalls.
