White paper for HR, Privacy & Works Council

The Works Council Is Watching — Good.

Which data a learning platform needs, what it should never collect — and what a works agreement looks like that brings protection and training together.

The problem this is about

A learning platform is a technical system objectively capable of recording behaviour and performance — which brings co-determination under Sec. 87 of the German Works Constitution Act into play. Treat that as a formality and you lose months. Take the questions seriously and you gain an ally.

The three worries are always the same: can my manager see how long I took? Where is the data stored? And what happens after the click in a phishing simulation? This paper answers all three — concretely enough to turn straight into a works agreement.

What is inside

  • The data minimum: the four things training evidence needs — and the list of what is off limits
  • Phishing simulation as training, not a trap: the ground rules that build trust
  • Eight cornerstones for the works agreement — walkable in a single meeting
  • How ConformBase delivers on the promises technically (data minimisation, no tracking in the learning area, aggregated reporting)

Built to be forwarded: to the works council, the data protection officer — or to the management that has to convince both. Which is why there is no form; it downloads directly.
