Because UNIFY NOW’s approach is all about transparency and honesty, we would like to inform you how GPDR affects us and its clients, and what we do to ensure compliance.

 

What is GDPR?

 

The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of regulations coming into effect on May 25, 2018 that enhance the data privacy rights of EU individuals and unify data privacy protections within the EU. The scope of the GDPR covers companies operating in the EU, as well as companies operating outside the EU who offer services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU residents.

 

How does GDPR apply to us?

 

The GDPR sets out obligations on 1) Data Controllers, or those that determine the purpose and means of the processing of personal data of EU residents, and 2) Data Processors, or those that process personal data of EU residents on behalf of Data Controllers. According to the GDR, we are considered to be the Data Processor.

 

What are we doing to foster compliance with GDPR?

 

Because of the valuable relationships with our candidates and clients, we are we are committed to preserve their privacy across our products to be able to ultimately ensure our compliance. We have reviewed our systems, processes, policies and documentation and updated them where necessary.

 

What is your obligation as our client?

 

When we acts as a Data Processor on behalf of our clients, our clients as Data Controllers are responsible for ensuring that their use of our services is in compliance with the GDPR. We therefore urge you to consider the following:

 

- The GDPR requires Data Controllers to have a contract with their Data Processors. The GDPR sets out what needs to be included in the contract (in general called a Data Processing Agreement);

 

- The GDPR requires Data Controllers to have a legal basis for processing personal data and requires them to provide information to people about how their personal data is processed;

 

The GDPR requires Data Controllers to retain personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose it was obtained for. Depending on the usage of our services, clients may need to conduct data maintenance to be compliant with the GDPR.

 

Can we be of service?
