GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation and is effective as of May 25th, 2018. GDPR replaces national privacy and security laws that previously existed within the EU with a single, comprehensive EU-wide law that governs the use, sharing, transfer and processing of any personal data that originates from the EU. Our policy is to respect all laws that apply to our business and this includes GDPR. We also appreciate that our customers have requirements under GDPR that are directly impacted by their use of Built On IT products and services. We are committed to helping our customers stay in compliance with GDPR and their local requirements. As part of our commitment to GDPR compliance, we have updated our Privacy Policy. In addition, here are a few things that Built On IT is committed to doing to ensure our compliance with GDPR and that of our customers:
Where we are transferring data outside of the EU, Built On IT commits to having the appropriate data transfer mechanisms in place as required by GDPR.
Built On IT commits to follow appropriate security measures and precautions in accordance with GDPR.
Built On IT will assist with notifying regulators of breaches and promptly communicating any breaches to customers and users.
We will ensure that employees authorised to process personal data have committed to confidentiality.
We will hold any subprocessors that handle personal data, including our data center partners, to the same data management, security, and privacy practices and standards to which we hold ourselves.
Built On IT commits to carrying out data impact assessments and consulting with EU regulators where a data impact assessment indicates a high risk associated with processing without an appropriate mitigating strategy.
Where appropriate, we will offer contractual language documenting our commitments to our customers to support their GDPR obligations.
Built On IT will assist our customers, insofar as possible, to respond to data subject requests our customers may receive under the GDPR.
