Ensuring Data Security
and GDPR Compliance
at LEED Talents

As a German company, LEED Talents is acutely aware of the importance of data security and confidentiality, especially in the context of global remote work. We recognize the challenges companies face when integrating remote workers from outside the European Union, where the strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets the benchmark for data privacy. To address these challenges and uphold the highest standards of data protection, LEED Talents has implemented a comprehensive approach to ensure full compliance with GDPR, regardless of the geographical location of our talents.

Commitment to GDPR Compliance

Dedicated Legal Department

LEED Talents boasts its own legal department, specializing in data protection laws and regulations. This team ensures that all operations, from talent recruitment to project execution, adhere to GDPR standards.

GDPR Training

All our talents undergo mandatory training on GDPR principles, including handling personal data, recognizing data breaches, and understanding the rights of data subjects. This ensures a uniform understanding of data protection requirements across our workforce.

Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

To legally and securely process data on behalf of our clients, LEED Talents enters into Data Processing Agreements with all remote employees. These agreements are tailored to meet GDPR requirements, specifying the scope, nature, and purpose of data processing activities.

Data Security Meassures

LEED Talents employs a multi-layered approach to data security, incorporating both technical and organizational measures to safeguard data:

Secure Data Transmission
We utilize encrypted communication channels for all data transmission, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure in transit.
Access Control
Access to personal and sensitive data is strictly controlled and limited to authorized personnel only, based on the necessity of their role and the principle of least privilege.
Regular Audits
Our security protocols and practices undergo regular audits to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure continuous improvement in our data protection efforts.
Incident Response Plan
We have a comprehensive incident response plan in place to quickly address any data breaches or security incidents, minimizing potential impact and ensuring prompt notification of relevant stakeholders.

Working with Non-EU Talents

Ensuring Adequacy Decisions

Where possible, we work with countries that have been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)

For countries without adequacy decisions, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses as a mechanism to ensure that data transferred outside the EU receives an equivalent level of protection.

Continuous Legal Monitoring

Our legal department stays abreast of changes in data protection laws and regulations, ensuring our practices remain compliant with GDPR and other relevant legislation.

Empowering Women and Promoting Inclusivity

The impact of remote work is particularly significant for women in developing countries, who face additional barriers due to traditional gender roles and societal expectations. Remote employment offers them the chance to achieve professional growth and economic independence while still fulfilling their familial responsibilities. This empowerment of women is crucial not just for gender equality but for the holistic development of societies, as women are known to reinvest a significant portion of their income back into their families and communities.

Facilitating Positive Change

At LEED Talents, we are deeply committed to leveraging remote work as a tool for social and economic development. By connecting talented individuals from marginalized regions with global opportunities, we help mitigate the effects of brain drain, support local economies, and offer a sustainable solution to the causes of migration. Our comprehensive support system ensures that remote workers and companies can overcome common challenges, making remote work a viable and beneficial choice for all parties involved.
