Do they have access to any of your data?

Curious about how they would physically be able to do that if you did not give them your log-in info or make the account as a part of your job.

Yeah, through sales navigator , they would check how much messages I would send every month…

You may have agreed to it in your employee privacy notice, job offer, etc., look at what you signed. For example, If you are a recruiter etc., and this is part of your roles and responsibilities. Either way, they should not have access to your data unless you somehow allowed it.

None of them was described in the position description, nor it was mentioned in the job offer. I was once told by sales director that I was using the sales navigator messages barely…

How would this be against privacy rules...

Are you a privacy lawyer, because you don't seem to understand how privacy laws work in the US?

If you put up a sign or notice in your handbook, you could absolutely do this. There are creepy companies that have cameras in their bathrooms outside the stalls.

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.

I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.
