Transparent, verifiable, and strictly minimized data lifecycle management designed for the European legal frontier.
At Britixo, we believe that effective workforce monitoring and stringent data privacy are not mutually exclusive. In fact, under modern European law, they must be perfectly integrated. The Britixo EU AI Compliance Monitor is architected on a "Privacy by Design" framework. Our system does not collect unnecessary personal identifiers, it does not sell data to third parties, and it explicitly limits the lifespan of all ingested telemetry.
This Compliance Hub serves as our public declaration of how Britixo processes, secures, and eventually destroys employee telemetry data to keep your enterprise in absolute alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
The core tenet of the GDPR is Data Minimization and Storage Limitation. Organizations are legally prohibited from indefinitely storing personal or behavioral data belonging to their employees. Data may only be kept for the duration strictly necessary to achieve its lawful processing purpose—in this case, facilitating an AI compliance audit and verifying algorithmic fairness.
To eliminate the risk of illegal data hoarding, Britixo removes human intervention from data retention. Our underlying TimescaleDB infrastructure enforces a strict, automated 90-Day Data Lifecycle.
From the millisecond a telemetry payload is ingested into our system, a countdown begins. Exactly 91 days later, the database engine automatically partitions, compresses, and permanently drops that specific data chunk. There are no "soft deletes" or hidden archives. The data is mathematically wiped from the storage volume. This guarantees that your enterprise perpetually maintains a compliant 90-day rolling audit window, without ever breaching GDPR storage limits.
Collecting employee telemetry places a massive security burden on the data controller. Under GDPR Article 32, organizations must implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. Exposing employee activity logs to unauthorized personnel, or worse, the public internet, is an immediate and highly penalized violation.
Britixo secures your organizational data through a multi-layered defense-in-depth architecture:
While the GDPR focuses on privacy, the EU AI Act focuses on accountability. When operating a High-Risk AI system under Annex III (such as employee performance monitoring), organizations must maintain automated logs that guarantee traceability. Regulators must be able to verify that the historical data used to make corporate decisions has not been retroactively altered to hide bias or discrimination.
Standard SQL databases fail this requirement because their logs can be easily edited by administrators. Britixo solves this through Cryptographic Tamper-Evidence.
Every single telemetry event ingested by Britixo is run through a SHA-256 hashing algorithm. We combine the new data with the cryptographic signature of the immediately preceding log. This creates an unbroken, mathematical chain of records. If an internal actor attempts to alter a historical employee log, the hash chain instantly breaks, providing auditors with definitive proof of tampering. This ensures your legal team can always confidently present your logs as unimpeachable evidence.
Under the GDPR, employees maintain profound rights over their personal data, including the Right of Access (Article 15) and the Right to Erasure (Article 17). If an employee submits a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR), your HR or legal team must be able to quickly retrieve, package, and provide the exact data collected on that individual.
Because Britixo structures all telemetry chronologically by the `employee_id` primary key, compliance officers can instantly query the TimescaleDB ledger to isolate a specific worker's hardware and activity metrics. Furthermore, if a lawful Right to Erasure request is validated (and overrides the AI Act's record-keeping mandate), the specific employee's data can be targeted and purged from the active 90-day window.
For European enterprises, where data is physically stored is just as important as how it is secured. Routing sensitive employee telemetry through servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA)—such as the United States—triggers complex cross-border transfer regulations under Chapter V of the GDPR (e.g., the Schrems II ruling).
Britixo is designed to be hosted on strictly European-based infrastructure. By deploying the platform on dedicated VPS environments located within compliant European data centers (such as Leaseweb data centers in the EU), you guarantee absolute data residency. Your employee telemetry never leaves European jurisdiction, completely neutralizing the legal risks associated with international data transfers.
Deploying AI and telemetry in the workplace is a powerful operational advantage, but it must be done ethically, legally, and transparently. The Britixo EU AI Compliance Monitor provides the strict mathematical guarantees and automated lifecycle management required to satisfy the most rigorous European regulators. We secure the data, protect the employee's privacy rights, and defend the enterprise's legal standing.
