Hello Atlassian,
we are using Jira a lot here in Germany. Almost always we will have international team members spread around the world to use Jira.
Jira provides a lot of functionality around tracking status and reporting, examples: Burn-Down chart or individual team member contribution.
Unfortunately this is a serious problem in Europe and especially in Germany as there is a data protection / privacy law in Europe / Germany, not allowing access to personal data outside of the EU unless you apply certain (difficult) measures. Personal data is any data (in Jira) that can be mapped to an individual person.
Is there any legal department in Atlassian that has thought about such privacy problems or does Atlassian even have procedures in place how to use Jira in an international environment while being compliant to the laws?
Cheers
Andreas
ps: Some more details:
To be compliant (!) with the law options would be needed that certain data can be seen in detail only by very limited group of people.
It would be needed for example support for a scenario that a Scrum Master can see only the details of his own team but not the details which team member of another Scrum team has reported on his tasks. Similar for team members. Any team member should see maximum only details of its own team but not from any other team.
