Employee Data Protection & Privacy Statement (EAP Platform)

Employee Data Protection & Privacy Statement (EAP Platform)

 

Introduction

We recognize that an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) involves far more than data.
It involves trust, dignity, and psychological safety.

Accordingly, we make the following clear, enforceable, and traceable commitments to all organizations using this Platform and to all employees who access EAP services through it.

 

1. Principle of Data Minimization

The Platform collects only data that is necessary, clearly defined, and strictly required for the provision of EAP services.
We do not collect data unrelated to service delivery, nor do we use data beyond its stated purpose.

Specifically, the Platform:

  • Does not collect employees’ private communications

  • Does not collect behavioral tracking data unrelated to EAP services

  • Does not establish cross-system personal data linkages

All data collection activities adhere to the principles of necessity, legitimacy, and transparency.

 

2. De-identification and Role-Based Data Separation

To prevent any form of internal or external misuse, the Platform is designed with strict separation mechanisms, including:

  • Complete logical separation between employee usage data and employer administrative data

  • No access by employers to any information that could identify individual employees

  • Psychological and EAP-related data presented only in anonymized, aggregated, or statistical form

Employers may access overall trends and improvement insights only.
They do not, and cannot, access individual employees’ psychological status, conversation content, or assessment results.

 

3. Strict Access Control and Information Security Measures

The Platform implements multi-layered information security protections, including but not limited to:

  • Role-based access control and least-privilege principles

  • Encryption of data during transmission and storage

  • Comprehensive logging and auditing of system operations and data access

  • Regular security testing and risk assessments

Only authorized systems and personnel may access relevant data, and solely within the scope required to perform their duties.

 

4. No External Disclosure and No Commercial Use of Data

We explicitly commit that:

  • Employee-related data is not sold, exchanged, rented, or otherwise transferred

  • Data is not used for advertising, marketing, or any third-party commercial purposes

  • No data is disclosed to third parties without lawful basis and the consent of the data subject, where required

Data exists only for the purpose of providing EAP services, and for no other reason.

 

5. Regulatory Compliance and Data Deletion Rights

All data processing activities on the Platform are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy regulations.

  • Employers and employees may lawfully request access to, restriction of, or deletion of personal data

  • Upon service termination or contract expiration, data will be deleted or irreversibly de-identified in accordance with contractual terms and legal requirements

We do not retain data unnecessarily, and we do not allow data to become a source of risk.

 

6. Our Position

An EAP should never function as a management or surveillance tool.
It should be a safe space where individuals feel secure enough to engage and speak honestly.

For this reason, in our system design, governance, and public statements,
we choose to define what must not be done more clearly than what can be done.
