The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been a significant piece of the privacy landscape since 2018, and OHRG is here to support you in meeting its requirements.

What Is GDPR?
GDPR is setting the standard for how organisations collect, use, and protect EU citizens’ personal information. With the growing concern for data safety, this law is designed to foster public confidence in data privacy.

GDPR Implications For Organisations who use the OHRG platform
Whether or not your organisation is based in the EU, all businesses that control or process personal information of EU citizens must do so in accordance with GDPR requirements.

As an employer, this means that you are responsible for ensuring that the personal information of your EU citizen employees is processed in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Because of this, you are also responsible for ensuring that any workplace service providers that you use will process the personal information of your EU citizen employees in accordance with GDPR requirements.

OHRG Complies With GDPR International Data Transfer Mechanisms
GDPR does not require personal information of EU citizens to be stored in the EU. GDPR does, however, require transfers of EU citizens’ personal information outside of the EU to comply with certain international data transfer standards. One of these standards is that prior to transferring an EU citizen’s personal information to a third country, the European Commission must have decided that the third country ensures an adequate level of protection.

OHRG is committed to ensuring that all transfers of your employees’ personal information are and will be in compliance with the required international data transfer standards.OHRG is located in Singapore and is subject to Singapore privacy laws.
