Hello everyone I need some much needed advice please im facing potential gross misconduct in work for breaching gdpr here is what happened.
I work of a night time as security in a student halls and at 2am a girl mentioned a student threatned her and asked me to go up and talk to him now we DO have a company recoeding device but i couldnt find it so i put my phone in my pocket on record to protect my self incase they threatned me or accused me of being violent WHICH they have!. How ever the recording proves my innocence. The footage has no names or personal information mentioned just a conversation how ever i reported that i used my own phone after the complaint and now face gross misconduct i havent put the information anywhere except on my phone. My company gdpr policy states no where i cant use amy personal device to record a conversation i only done it as i couldnt find the one provided incase of me being attacked or accused. I thought i was within right as my policy doeant state i couldnt. Any advice would be hugely appreciated as i dont wish to lose my job thank you.
