Data Privacy & Protection

Welcome

On the 25th of May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was implemented. The aim of this regulation is to tighten privacy and security laws in order to protect privacy of data subjects. Organizations located in Europe and organizations that process the data of European data subjects, must comply with the new GDPR privacy law. Organizations now have the obligation to be transparent, lawful and fair when it comes to processing personal data. Additionally, the data must be adequate, relevant, and there can be no more processed than necessary. Data subjects have the following rights:

  • The right to be informed

  • The right of access

  • The right to rectification

  • The right to be forgotten

  • The right to restrict processing

  • The right to data portability

  • The right to object

  • Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.

Note: The right to data portability and the right to be forgotten, are closely connected to the right of access.

In order to process personal data in a lawful, transparent and fair way, organizations have to accurately go through each document containing personal data and take appropriate action. These actions can, for instance, include the anonymization or pseudonymization of personal data. Searching for and finding the correct data, is a task that consumes a great deal of time, energy and resources from employees and organizations. The next time-consuming challenge, is to take appropriate action, like the anonymization or pseudonymization of personal data.
