GDPR in aviation HR: How Aeroates ensures data security

Data security and privacy are of primary importance today, particularly in industries such as aviation that rely predominantly on private and critical personal data. The aviation industry has never had a greater need for strong and legal data management practices in place. As the sector is growing, the complexities of dealing with personal data will keep growing as well, and you need to comply with the regulations, e.g. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Aeroates is a preferred partner to deliver tailored aviation HR solutions for compliance with the data protection legislation, and achieving operational excellence. We will be discussing the need for GDPR compliance for aviation human resources services as well as how Aeroates protects sensitive data in accordance with the GDPR framework.

Why does GDPR affect aviation HR and what is it?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation within EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union and the European Economic Area; it also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the European Union and European Economic Area. The GDPR always aims to enhance the privacy and security of personal data in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). GDPR in aeronautics is an integral part where the data of employees and clients are processed daily.

From pilots to cabin staff, ground staff, and other personnel, maintaining records is a daily affair for HR professionals in the aviation industry. The regulation is very prescriptive in terms of processing, storing, and communicating data and lays a very heavy emphasis on accountability, transparency, and consent. The risks for noncompliance are hefty fines, legal entanglements, and loss of reputation.

Given the volume of data exchanged in the aviation sector, such as from payroll information to employment background checks and beyond, aviation HR providers like Aeroates must implement GDPR-compliant procedures that safeguard their customers and staff.
