Anonymise data from former employees
You can anonymise former employees in TimeLog. This means that data cannot be traced back to a specific person, but you can still use the data in your reporting.
This helps you to have both complete and correct data while complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
When former employees are anonymised, they will be transferred to a single anonymous system user. Here, data from all terminated employees will end up as anonymised data to ensure that it cannot be attributed to a specific employee at a later date.
How to set it up
Under General settings in the System administration, you need to navigate to Personal data protection. Here you make your anonymisation setup.
You decide yourself when data are anonymised and/or deleted if an employee is no longer employed.
This is what the setup looks like:

What is GDPR?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU's personal data regulation that came into force on 25 May 2018.
Its purpose is to give EU citizens control over their personal data and ensure that companies and organisations process data in a responsible manner.
The regulation applies to all organisations that process EU citizens' data. This means that they must fulfil several obligations regarding how personal data is collected and processed.
