Who owns the data - the company or the employee?

[Shay Goodwin]

If an employee was to leave, would said employee have rights to the data they entered into HipChat during their employment, or would those rights sit with the company?

[Jonas Andersson · Accepted solution]

Intellectual property right is hardly our specialty, but normally all creations done on corporate hardware during working time belongs to the employer, not the employee. You might however be better of talking to a lawyer that read law about this rather than a bunch of nerds that just read hacker news.
