You'll cover three key phases: recruitment (what you can ask candidates, how to store CVs), employment (what data you can process, legal bases), and termination (what to do with former employee data, email access). Each module includes practical HR examples and knowledge checks.

Finally a compliance course that gets to the point.

I've taken three courses on this regulation. This is the only one that actually shows you the workflows. The templates alone were worth the price.

Marta K. · Compliance lead, fintech
★★★★★

We rolled it out to the whole team.

The teaching style is exactly what compliance training has been missing. We bought 12 seats. Best money we spent in Q1.

Jonas H. · Head of Legal, SaaS
★★★★★

Saved us during a real incident.

Two weeks after finishing the course, we had to apply exactly what we learned. The runbooks and decision trees made it so much easier under pressure.

Amélie D. · Privacy counsel, healthcare
★★★★☆

Dense — in the best way.

Not a beginner course. If you already know the basics, this fills in every gap you didn't know you had. Quizzes are challenging.

All employee personal data falls under GDPR: names, ID numbers, salaries, health records, performance reviews, GPS tracking, access logs, and email communications. Special category data like health and trade union membership has additional protections.
