What is GDPR?
Effective May 25th 2018, GDPR tightens the rules for businesses on how they collect, store and process EU citizens’ personal data. The new regulations impact organizations worldwide who collect and process personal data of EU citizens. Some of the key changes likely to impact your customer feedback programs are listed below.
Lady Project Summit, GDPR, and Privacy Shield
Europe is currently leading the way in terms of regulating the protection of personal data of individuals. The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which replaces the 1995 EU “Data Protection Directive” (and the laws of the various EU member states implementing the 1995 Directive), has been the focal point of discussion and compliance efforts for many companies around the world, including Lady Project Summit.
Lady Project Summit is committed to respecting the privacy rights of all of its customers and their users, and to taking reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the privacy and security of their personal information, including by implementing measures designed to comply with specific, applicable provisions of GDPR.
One such requirement, which is a carryover from the 1995 Directive, relates to cross-border transfers of data from the EU and Switzerland to the US. Lady Project Summit is certified under both the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks, which were designed by the US Department of Commerce, the European Commission and the Swiss Administration, and which is administered by the US Department of Commerce. The Privacy Shield Frameworks recently replaced the old EU-US and Swiss-US “Safe Harbor” Frameworks. Lady Project Summit complies with the data protection principles outlined in the Frameworks. For more information, see the “Privacy Shield” section of our Privacy Policy and see our certifications at the Commerce Department’s “Privacy Shield” website. More generally, Lady Project Summit has updated its technology, service offerings, terms and conditions of service and privacy notice to reflect our ongoing commitment to data privacy and security in compliance with our agreements with our customers and with applicable law.
Enabling you to be GDPR compliant
Lady Project Summit enables customers to be GDPR compliant. Briefly stated, that means Lady Project Summit:
- Provides sufficient guarantees to the controller to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to safeguard customer data
- Processes data (that could include personal data) only to fulfill its obligations as related to the Services
- Enables users to modify and delete their personal data
- Provides security documentation that describes the processes and procedures for safeguarding the data at our Security page
- Can sign a contract that governs the processing of EU personal data
GDPR contract – Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
GDPR Article 28, Section 3, requires that a contract be in place between a data controller and a data processor. The Lady Project Summit Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Customer Agreements have provided the fundamental legal requirements and obligations regarding data ownership, processing behavior, safeguarding data, and more.
However, if as an Lady Project Summit customer you desire to have a GDPR-specific addendum to your agreement, please contact our Customer Success team at [email protected] to put one in place.
