#330: Your Workplace Data Protection Rights Just Got New Life. Here's What You Need To Know!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hi there,
This week we are looking at the new data protection employment rights that you gained on 19th June 2026. In fact, this right is so new, you are likely to not even know this right exists because there was no build up to it. And, what that right is – is your new employment right to make a data protection complaint directly to your employer or to any organisation that holds your personal data, where you suspect that your personal data has been mishandled.
This new right called ‘The right to make a data protection complaint’ is about your personal information - your health, your finances, your private life, etc. and how much control you have over who gets to see and use that information. This new employment right to complain directly to your employer is therefore, a positive step forward for workers and now that you know this right exists you are in a much stronger position to use it.
If this episode helps you understand your data protection rights at work, please share it with someone else who needs to hear it. And, if you believe your personal data is being mishandled by your employer and they are not taking your data or your concerns seriously, please do not just put up with it.
