As the festive season approaches, many employers are rethinking their approach to the traditional office Christmas party.

The UK GDPR grants Data Subjects, who are the individuals to whom the personal data relates, rights over their personal data, including the rights of access, correction and erasure.

As the festive season approaches, offices are coming together for their annual Christmas parties, offering a chance to unwind and celebrate the year's achievements. However, whilst these events provide a necessary release and recognition of employee’s contributions, they also present a heightened risk of inappropriate behaviour, particularly sexual harassment. 

The Labour government have introduced their own new data protection bill – the Data (Use and Access) Bill (DUAB) - which is currently making its way through parliament.
