Privacy statement for People Analytics (or 'HR Analytics')

What is our legal framework?

All personal data are processed in accordance with European Union data protection law, that is to say in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (‘EUDPR’).

Why do we process personal data?

The main purpose of processing personal data using HR Analytics is to manage HR business processes (A), which can be divided into:

  1. operating the relevant business processes; and
  2. designing, monitoring and evaluating the relevant business process to ensure its appropriate implementation and intended result.

For (1), aggregated data, personal data or both must be made available to the data recipients operating the process (typically managers for their staff and dedicated HR staff). The use of data is necessary to ensure effective business operations and for the ECB to fulfil its legal obligations and duty of care.

For (2), aggregated data, i.e. statistics such as averages, measures of distribution and correlations, are made available to (pre-)defined data recipients. In a few justified cases, limited personal data are shared with recipients in DG-HR for data reconciliation and data quality control, but this is not done on a large scale[1]. In line with the requirements of data protection, by design and default, aggregated (and non-personal) data are used to gain insights into the use of HR processes and policies, which may lead to:

  • proposals for new policies or policy changes;
  • improvement of processes and instruments for the policy implementation; or
  • communication campaigns to the ECB community or other measures to increase the policy adoption or implementation.

Designing, monitoring and evaluating business processes also involves making aggregated non-personal data available to selected stakeholders, including staff and staff representatives (who are in most cases also data subjects).

In addition to managing business processes, the sharing of personal data or the processing of personal data to share aggregated and non-personal data with ECB-external data recipients to comply with applicable regulations is another purpose (B).

The purposes above are linked to the services HR Analytics offers and further specified in the table below.

What is the legal basis for the ECB processing your personal data?

The processing by HR Analytics is necessary for the performance of ECB tasks carried out in the public interest (Article 5(1), point (a), of the EUDPR. Article 127(2) and 127(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) establish the basic tasks. In addition, Protocol No 4 to the TFEU reiterates the tasks of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (ESCB) in Article 3, and further specifies in Article 11.6 that “[t]he Executive Board shall be responsible for the current business of the ECB”.

In discharging its responsibilities with regard to the management of the ECB’s current business, including the sound and effective management of human resources, the Executive Board (EB) adopts decisions that are implemented by the Directorate General Human Resources (DG-HR) and the people managers in the business areas. The employment relationship between the ECB and its staff is governed by the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB as adopted by the Governing Council on a proposal from the EB (Article 36 of Protocol No 4) and further implemented by the Staff Rules as adopted by the EB.

In addition, DG-HR has been vested with the tasks mentioned above as enshrined in the ECB Functions Paper, following a decision by the EB, in the context of the implementation of the ECB’s employment legal framework. This constitutes the general legal basis for the processing of personal data by HR Analytics, in accordance with Article 5(1), point (a), of the EUDPR.

  • In addition, the EB has adopted “Human Resources Management” as item C12.1 in the Eurosystem Functions Grid and distributed the responsibilities as follows according to the ECB Functions Paper:

“For all ECB staff, DG-HR offers a strategic partnership to the ECB business areas and up-to-date services that underpin sustainable organisational excellence as well as a healthy work environment fostering people engagement and personal growth. For this purpose, it develops and maintains all relevant human resources policies, processes and instruments, and provides expert, customised advice on their effective implementation.” (p. 50)

  • The Functions Paper underpins that the ECB sees HR Analytics as a clear HR responsibility and, more specifically, as a responsibility of the Employee Services Division:

“supports the development of HR metrics and analytics.” (p. 51)

The following overview provides more detailed references to the ECB Functions Paper, the ECB Staff Rules and the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB as specific legal bases, read in conjunction with Article 5(1), point (a), of the EUDPR, with regard to the data processing which is necessary to effectively manage the organisational responsibilities of the ECB.

  • Regarding unpaid parental leave: Article 5.11.1 of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 29 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding unpaid leave: Articles 5.12.1, 5.12.1a and 5.12.1b of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 30 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding teleworking: Article 5.1bis.4 (quota and place of teleworking) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 25 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.1bis (teleworking) of the ECB Rules for Short-term Employment read in conjunction with Article 23(b) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 9a(6) of Decision ECB/2015/NP13 (rules governing the traineeship programme of the ECB)
  • Regarding overtime work: Article 5.3.2 of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 26(a) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.2.2 of the ECB Rules for Short-term Employment read in conjunction with Article 24(a) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding age: Article 38 (pension) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding gender: Article 5.9 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 28(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.8 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Rules for Short-term Employment read in conjunction with Article 27(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding employment relations: Article 9(a) and (b) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 2.0 (conversion of contracts for a definite period) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 10(c) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 2.0a (conditions for non-convertible fixed-term contracts and successive contracts) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 10(d) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 2.2 (termination of contract) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 11 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB

  • Regarding compensation data: Article 3.1.4 of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 12 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB

We consider that the requirements set out in Article 6 of the EUDPR are met and that the processing is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data have been initially collected, taking into account the following:

While the data have been collected for the purpose of ensuring that staff and trainees can effectively exercise their contractual rights and obligations related to leave, the processing by HR Analytics amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Providing personal data about leave to managers and their HR support (purposes (i) and (ii)), and ensuring that leave policies and HR services related to wellbeing are up to date (purpose (iii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. Incidentally, special categories of personal data, i.e. administrative sick leave data (limited to start and end date of “SickWithoutCertificate”, “SickPendingCertificate”, “SickLeave”, “Long-term sick leave”) and maternity leave data are processed. However, this data is removed in the first data preparation steps. As the aggregated data are used to analyse and adapt HR policies and services, there are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the making of any change in HR policies and services, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives and the Data Protection Officer (DPO)). Finally, the data is pseudonymised in the first data preparation steps and the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level.

We consider that the requirements set out in Article 6 of the EUDPR are met and that the processing is compatible with the purpose for which the personal data have been initially collected, taking into account the following:

While the data have been collected for the purpose of ensuring that staff and trainees can effectively exercise their contractual rights and obligations related to leave, the production of statistics regarding absences amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Ensuring that leave policies and HR services related to wellbeing are up to date is linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. Incidentally, in the interim stage, special categories of personal data, i.e. administrative sick leave data (limited to start and end date of “SickWithoutCertificate”, “SickPendingCertificate”, “SickLeave”, “Long-term sick leave”) and maternity leave data are processed. However, these data are removed in the first data preparation steps. As the statistics are used to analyse and adapt HR policies and services, there are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the making of any change in HR policies and services, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives and the DPO). Finally, the data is pseudonymised in the first data preparation step and the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level.

While the data have been collected for the purpose of ensuring that staff and trainees can effectively exercise their contractual rights and obligations, the processing by HR Analytics amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Managing wellbeing, supporting reintegration after long-term sick leave, supporting staff to submit sick leave certificates (purpose (i)) and ensuring that sick leave policies and HR services related to wellbeing are up to date (purpose (iii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. Special categories of data related to health are processed pursuant to Article 10(2), point (b), of the EUDPR. There are no direct consequences of further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the making of any change with any consequences for the data subjects, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (including but not limited to consultations with staff representatives, the DPO and European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) as needed).

The data that has been collected and further processed in the context of the employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. In the interim stage, categories of data which may be considered as special categories, i.e. administrative data about long-term sick leave (limited to start and end date of that type of absence), are processed. This is necessary because employment contracts may be issued with a view to cover the long-term absence of a member of staff who holds a permanent position. The data is limited to what is necessary, i.e. the start and end date of long-term sick leave. While administrative data regarding long-term sick leave may be considered a special category concerning health, it is processed in accordance with Article 10(2), point (b), of the EUDPR. There are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of any consequences for data subjects, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives and the DPO). Finally, for purpose (v), the data is pseudonymised in the first data preparation step and the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level.

Personal data has been collected for the purpose of carrying out specific rights of the data subjects and is here processed for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Planning succession for retirees, adapting HR benefits and services to age of the employees (purpose (i)), assessing the impact of the gender strategy (purpose (ii)), projecting the distribution of staff across salary bands (purpose (iii)) and projecting the salary mass (purpose (iv)) are compatible with the initial purpose. The processing takes place in a context similar to that in which the data has been collected (i.e. HR controller), the personal data does not contain special categories of data, and the further processing has no direct consequences for the data subjects. The projections only inform the policy analysis which could potentially lead, subject to subsequent processes, to changes.

We consider that the requirements set out in Article 6 of the EUDPR are met and that the processing is compatible with the purpose for which the data has been initially collected, taking into account, inter alia, the following:

While the data has been collected for the purpose of managing the rights and obligations of staff, the processing by HR Analytics amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Ensuring fairness and transparency (purpose (i)), that ASBR policies are effective and up to date (purpose (ii)) and checking eligibility for promotion (purpose (iii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. There are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the taking of any act affecting staff, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives). Finally, for purposes (i) and (ii), the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level to the extent that individuals cannot be identified and no conclusions can be drawn about the private lives of individuals.

  • Regarding age: Article 38 (pension) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding gender: Article 5.9 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 28(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.8 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Rules for Short-Term Employment read in conjunction with Article 27(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding nationality: Articles 17 and 18 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding teleworking: Article 5.1bis.4 (quota and place of teleworking) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 25 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.1bis (teleworking) of the ECB Rules for Short-term Employment read in conjunction with Article 23(b) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 9a(6) of Decision ECB/2015/NP13 (rules governing the traineeship programme of the ECB)
  • Regarding unpaid parental leave: Article 5.11.1 of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 29 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding unpaid leave: Articles 5.12.1, 5.12.1a and 5.12.1b of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 30 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding long-term sick leave (i.e. sick leave uninterrupted for more than six weeks): Article 5.13.2 (sick leave) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 31 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.10.2 (sick leave) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 28 of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 9(3) (attendances and absences) of Decision ECB/2015/NP13 (rules governing the traineeship programme of the ECB)

We consider that the requirements set out in Article 6 of the EUDPR are met and that the processing is compatible with the purpose for which the data has been initially collected, taking into account, inter alia, the following:

While the data has been collected for the purpose of managing the compensation and benefits of staff, the production of aggregated statistics regarding ASBR amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Ensuring that the ASBR policy is effective and up to date is linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. In the interim stage, categories of data which may be considered as special categories, i.e. administrative data about long-term sick leave (limited to start and end date of that type of absence), are processed. This is necessary to check for biases. The data is limited to what is necessary, i.e. the start and end date of long-term sick leave. While administrative data regarding long-term sick leave may be considered to be a special category concerning health, it is processed in accordance with Article 10(2), point (b), of the EUDPR. As the statistics are used to analyse the effectiveness of the ASBR policy, there are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the making of any change in the ASBR policy, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives). Finally, the statistics are aggregated to the extent that they are anonymised, at institutional and business area level.

19. Dashboard and reports as well as analyses and insights related to promotions and transfers

Specific legal basis:

  • Regarding mobility: Article 2a.7 (mobility) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 8a(b), subparagraph (ii), of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding promotions without recruitment: Articles 2a.10 (promotion to the next salary bracket of current position), 2a.11 (promotion to the next salary band of current position), 2a.12 (promotion to a higher salary band for a period of less than one year) and 2a.14 (effects of promotion) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 8a(b), subparagraph (iii), of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding promotions with recruitment: Articles 1a.3.2 and 1a.3.3 of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 8a(b), subparagraph (iii), of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB

We consider that the requirements set out in Article 6 of the EUDPR are met, taking into account the following:

While the data about mobility and promotions have been collected for the purpose of enabling the mobility and promotions of staff, the processing by HR Analytics amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Managing talent and succession planning (purpose (i)) and ensuring that policies and HR services related to mobility and promotions are up to date (purpose (ii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller is unchanged. There are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Any decision or change in HR policies and services would follow due process, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives and the DPO). Finally, for purpose (ii), the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level to the extent that no individuals can be identified and no conclusions can be drawn about the private lives of individuals.

Similarly, data about parenthood have been collected for the purpose of carrying out the specific rights of data subjects (i.e. child allowance and special leave in the event of birth or adoption) and is being processed here to check for indirect discrimination against parents with regard to promotions and transfers. This purpose is compatible with the original one. The data on parenthood has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller is unchanged. As the statistics are used to analyse and adapt HR policies and services, there are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Due process would be followed in respect of the making of any change in HR policies, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives and the DPO). Finally, the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level to the extent that no individuals can be identified and no conclusions can be drawn about the private lives of individuals.

20. Dashboards and reports related to trainings

  • Regarding trainings related to DARWIN and other ECB-specific tools: Article 2(b) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 11(1), point (c), of Decision ECB/2015/NP13 (rules governing the traineeship programme of the ECB)
  • Regarding age: Article 38 (pension) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB
  • Regarding gender: Article 5.9 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Staff Rules read in conjunction with Article 28(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Employment for Staff of the ECB; Article 5.8 (maternity and adoptive leave) of the ECB Rules for Short-Term Employment read in conjunction with Article 27(i) and (ii) of the Conditions of Short-Term Employment for Staff of the ECB

We consider the requirements of Article 6 of the EUDPR are met, taking into account the following: While the data about trainings, age, gender and nationality have been collected for the purpose of giving effect to the contractual rights and obligations of staff, the processing by HR Analytics, including demographics (i.e. age, gender, nationality), amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Developing talent (purpose (i)) and advising managers on how to go about it (purpose (ii)), as well as ensuring that policies and HR services related to professional development are up to date (purpose (iii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. There are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Any act affecting staff or actual change in HR policies and services would follow due process, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives, the DPO). Finally, for purpose (ii), the statistics are aggregated at divisional, business area and institutional level to the extent that no individuals can be identified and no conclusions can be drawn about the private lives of individuals.

21. Dashboards and reports related to sourcing, recruitment campaigns, and mobility opportunities

We consider the requirements of Article 6 of the EUDPR are met and therefore the processing to be compatible with the purpose for which the personal data were initially collected, taking into account the following: While the data about recruitment and mobility have been collected for the purpose of carrying out the specific obligations of the ECB, the processing by HR Analytics, including the demographics (i.e. age, gender, nationality), amounts to processing for another purpose which is compatible with the original one. Supporting sourcing (purpose (i)), ensuring that the recruitment and mobility processes are managed effectively (purpose (ii)) and that the policies related to recruitment and mobility are up to date (purpose (iii)) are linked with the initial purpose for which the data has been collected. The data has been collected and further processed in the context of employment and the relationship between the data subject and controller has not changed. There are no direct consequences of the further processing for data subjects. Any act affecting staff or any actual change in HR policies would follow due process, including specific safeguards for the rights of individuals (such as consultations with staff representatives, the DPO). Finally, for purposes (ii) and (iii), the statistics are aggregated at institutional and business area level to the extent that no individuals can be identified and no conclusions can be drawn about the private lives of individuals.

It should be noted that processing in most, if not all, cases involve processing one or some of the data categories listed above and does not integrate all data categories.

Special categories of personal data can be categorised into the four following data types, which may be processed through one or more of the processing activities:

  • Absences data: administrative sick leave data[8]; this refers to data subjects who are on sick leave, i.e. a subset of “ECB staff including graduates, short-term staff including ESCB/IOs, and trainees”, amounting to approximately 2,500 to 3,300 data subjects yearly.
  • Family and social circumstances data: gender of spouse or recognised partner which may allow an inference to be made concerning sexual orientation; this refers to data subjects who have a spouse or recognised partner registered, i.e. a subset of “ECB staff including graduates, short-term staff including ESCB/IOs, and trainees” and of “pensioners”, amounting to approximately 2,750 data subjects overall.

Will your personal data (in a clear or encrypted form) be processed (i.e. transferred, accessed or stored) in third countries or by international organisations?

Your personal data might exceptionally be processed in third countries/international organisations based on the derogations for specific situations set out in Article 50(1) of the EUDPR.

Your personal data will also be processed in third countries or by international organisations based on appropriate safeguards (pursuant to Article 48 of the EUDPR). These are provided by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

If the third country’s legislation and/or practices have an impact on the effectiveness of these appropriate safeguards, your personal data can only be transferred to, accessed from or processed in that third country where sufficient supplementary measures are taken to ensure an essentially equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed within the European Economic Area (EEA). These supplementary measures are implemented on a case-by-case basis and may be technical (such as encryption), organisational and/or contractual.

You can request a copy of the appropriate or suitable safeguards from the ECB’s Data Protection Officer.

How long will the ECB keep personal data?

Your personal data will be stored in compliance with the ECB retention plan in the source systems and in the analytical system (DISC/DEVO Corporate Stores in an AWS cloud) where they are synchronised. The retention period depends on the personal data processed. Data may also be stored in DISC/DEVO Data Labs (including in an AWS cloud), DARWIN, on the Tableau server, or temporarily locally.

In addition to the ECB retention plan, it should be clarified that, for many processing activities, the data period being processed is shorter. You can find the used data history per processing activity below, specified by purpose.

What are your rights?

You have the right to access your personal data and correct any data that are inaccurate or incomplete. You also have (with some limitations) the right to delete your personal data and to object to or to restrict the processing of your personal data in line with the EUDPR. The ECB may restrict your rights to safeguard the interests and objectives referred to in Article 25(1) of the EUDPR.

Who can you contact for queries or requests?

You can exercise your rights by contacting DG/HR via the People Analytics team in the Employee Services Division, at HRAnalytics.Tools@ecb.europa.eu. The ECB’s Data Protection Officer at dpo@ecb.europa.eu answers all queries relating to personal data.

Addressing the European Data Protection Supervisor

If you consider that your rights under the EUDPR have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor at any time.

  1. For example, a suspected data error may be discussed with the relevant counterpart in the HR Operations team, who may be able to reconcile any errors in the source system.

  2. Predictions are only on an aggregated level. HR Analytics does not predict any individual data points or values, or implement profiling or automated decision-making.

  3. Incidentally and only in rare cases, it cannot be fully excluded that special categories of personal data may be revealed. This applies in two scenarios: (1) if snapshots from a different point in time are used and one or few data subjects have changed their gender in between, and in these cases it is still unlikely that this is revealed to the person processing the data; and (2) if the gender is non-binary, in which case the source system may show as “unassigned” (in this case this would only be revealed in exceptional and unlikely cases and only to the person processing the data); this applies to all use cases where a gender split in the data is needed. These special categories are, however, not revealed to data recipients, unless stated otherwise.

  4. Working time always refers to the planned weekly working time, and more specifically and exclusively to the contractually agreed hours worked per week.

  5. Refers to the type of absence and attendance, duration, and start and end dates.

  6. Administrative sick leave data in this document always includes leave type, start date and end data.

  7. Applicant information refers to all data entered by an applicant in the context of a recruitment procedure at the ECB. This includes, but is not limited to: names, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, gender, nationality, educational background and professional experience.

  8. The EDPS considers administrative sick leave data (start and end date of a sick leave) to be a special category of personal data: https://edps.europa.eu/sites/default/files/publication/12-12-20_guidelines_leave_flexitime_en.pdf

  9. Non-personal data may be shared with other stakeholders for transparency reasons and communication, as decided by DG-HR management.

  10. This process was carried out manually before via Excel, in a labour-intensive way that was also prone to error.

  11. This only refers to ECB employees as data subjects. Applicants cannot be identified in such reports or dashboards.

  12. This is for validation of the data the insurance administrator processes to ensure data accuracy: the administrator sends its records to the ECB for reconciliation (by dedicated ECB HR personnel).

  13. The processing operation relevant to HR Analytics described and assessed in this document ends at the provisioning of data with designated HR personnel in charge of the ASBR calibration. During the calibration meeting, managers only get to see the data of data subjects on lower levels within their business area.

  14. When a staff member leaves the team, succession planning helps prepare for that event and helps select potential successors of the staff member leaving the team.

  15. Based on the position and job, there are different probabilities if a person is randomly drawn for the compliance check. This is fixed by CGO before retrieving the data.

  16. The process of DG-SE/CGO and the external auditor is out of scope for this DPIA and needs to be addressed by DG-SE/CGO in case a DPIA is needed.
