GDPR Request Workflow

Handle Art. 15 (access), Art. 17 (deletion), Art. 20 (portability) and Art. 16 (rectification) requests end-to-end with status tracking.

๐Ÿ“œ

Immutable Audit Log

Every VIEW_SENSITIVE, EXPORT_DATEV, DELETE_EMPLOYEE action is recorded with actor, timestamp and IP. Never modified.

๐Ÿ”

Encrypted Sensitive Fields

IBAN, tax ID, SV-Nummer and health insurance details are stored encrypted and accessible only by authorised roles.

๐ŸŽญ

Role-Based Access Control

SUPER_ADMIN, TENANT_ADMIN, HR_MANAGER, EMPLOYEE, VIEWER. Permissions enforced at every API and UI layer.

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Right to Be Forgotten

Anonymise employee records on deletion request. Personal fields are wiped, aggregate data retained for reporting.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Data Portability Export

Art. 20 requests generate a structured JSON export of all personal data held. Signed URL, 24h expiry.

How it works

Up and running in minutes

1

Request arrives

An employee or ex-employee submits a data request (access, deletion, portability). The request is logged with timestamp.

2

HR reviews and acts

HR_MANAGER or TENANT_ADMIN reviews the request, generates the export or triggers deletion, and marks it processed.

3

Audit trail created

Every action taken on the request is added to the immutable audit log. Timestamps, actor IDs, IP addresses.

4

Requester is notified

The requester receives the data export link (24h signed URL) or confirmation of deletion. DSGVO timelines met.
