Prior-checking Opinion regarding the Feedback Event at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) covering peer feedback for staff members and a 360° evaluation exercise for managers (case 2017-0136).

The peer feedback enables staff members to perform a self- assessment and provide and receive feedback about and from their peers, while the 360° feedback allows for managers receiving feedback from their peers and from direct report and line managers about their leadership skills. Individual and group feedback reports are both developed to provide an organizational overview of the results obtained through the peer and the 360º feedback exercises.
The EDPS recommended to revise the privacy statement clarifying that participants can decide to opt-out at any time  and to define the purpose of the group reports and the categories of data covered.
