Document background
The Company Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under Article 13 of the GDPR and Belgian data protection law for any organization processing employee personal data. This document should be implemented when a company begins operations in Belgium, hires its first employees, or updates its existing privacy practices. It serves as a comprehensive information tool explaining how the company processes employee personal data, ensuring compliance with both EU-wide GDPR requirements and specific Belgian national legislation. The notice must be provided to all employees and updated whenever significant changes occur in data processing practices. It's particularly crucial in the Belgian context, where specific national requirements regarding workplace surveillance and electronic communications must be addressed alongside general GDPR obligations.
