I wonder how this is supposed to work with workplace apps such as Slack, especially with regards to GDPR.
Say I am leaving my job, and want my personal information to be purged from this 3rd party service (Slack). They say [1] "Primary Owners of a workspace or org must contact Slack to request deletion of a deactivated member's profile information.". What if I contact the "Primary Owner" before leaving my job and they ignore my request, or better yet I have already left my job and I don't know how to contact them or who they are? Why can't I request my personal information to be deleted from a completely 3rd party American company's database myself?
If you are using company account, company owns the data. The data produced during company time is company's property. Company has to request for deletion. Slack is right about it.
- Is my full name, birth date, telephone number, job and other details Slack collects company property?
- Can they also sell this to other 3rd parties along with my social security number which was also collected by the company during company time?
- Is Slack also free to sell this data to other parties afterwards?
- Does GDPR protect your personal information if you gave it away during your free / unemployed time using your personally owned devices and only to services you have admin access to?
