GDPR & Employer Retaining Data

    Hello all,

    - I worked for a company in Dublin
    - I was never happy with the peer review performance system which is all stored on a database internally. Nothing salacious in there about me but I'd like it wiped if possible. Company is known for not having the best data management practices.
    - I managed to leave the company amicably.

    Question: Is it okay for me now that I've left to ask them to wipe all performance reviews under GDPR legislation? (To be clear I don't want to see it, I don't need it for legal reasons, I just want it wiped)

    I know some things they will have to keep like employment history (for references), tax info etc but unsure of what can be kept/removed.

    Appreciate any help in advance,

    K

    Pretty sure they would have to keep it for legal reasons at least. But even if they van delete it, is it worth the bridges you will potentially burn doing it

    Thanks for reply. Not concerned about burning bridges, rather know under GDPR legislation from someone that is more familiar on the topic than me.

    There's a statutory period of 3 years for a lot of record types that pertain to employees, so you will have a wait either way, depending on how clean a slate you wanted.

    Employee reviews days wouldn't be necessary though unless there was days pertaining to other employees contained in there for some reason.
