The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It replaced the existing EU Data Protection law to strengthen the protection of “personal data” and the rights of the individual. It is a single set of rules which govern the processing and monitoring of EU data.
PRIZ Guru has undergone a GDPR compliance review and we’ve taken many steps to ensure full compliance and security for all our user data. Here are a few highlights of what we have done:
We’ve appointed a Data Protection Officer, Alex Agulyansky to oversee and advise on our data management. Get in touch via chat or by emailing [email protected].
We’ve created a data processing addendum (DPA) that provides contractual safeguards to our customers for the processing of the personal data sent through PRIZ Guru, enabling these customers to be compliant with the GDPR. If you need a copy of our DPA, your workspace’s administrator can email [email protected].
In connection with the performance of the Agreement, the Customer authorizes PRIZ Guru to transfer Personal Information to the United States. Customer and PRIZ Guru will enter into Standard Contractual Clauses for the Transfer of Personal Data to Processors Established In Third Countries pursuant to Commission Decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010 Countries (”Model Contract”). This document is covered in our Data Processing Addendum.
As part of our compliance review, we’ve scrutinized all third-party vendors we use to make sure they also prioritize the security and privacy of personal data. We’ve ensured our signed contracts with them take the highest levels of security into consideration. We know data security doesn’t just stop with us, and we’ll continue to vet any new sub-processors in the future.
We’ve updated our existing processes and implemented some more around subject access requests, and process reviews. We’ve also had all team members undergo data protection training and GDPR training.
We updated our existing breach management and communication process to comply with the GDPR regulations concerning the escalation process and requirements for data subject notification.
We’ve updated our Privacy Policy to make it more clear about what data we collect and how it is used. Our new Privacy Policy is effective October 1, 2021.
If you have any questions about GDPR or would like to make a Subject Access Request – feel free to reach out to us via chat or at [email protected].
