Dear All,
I have a case that I would like to submit to your
attention.
A UK citizen based in London joins the branch of an
American company. The employment contract is
regulated under US law, the employee is based at the
UK branch. The employment contract does not address
data protection at all. After a few weeks of
employment the employee in the UK receives a letter
from another employee based at the US head office
offering the employee in the UK management of his
investment portfolio. Can an employer based outside
the EU offer services, such as portfolio management,
to the employees based in the EU under the European
data protection legislation? Can employees' personal
data be shared across EU and non EU branches of the
same company?
I look forward to reading your answers,
best regards,
Lilly Taranto
