Rights of Individuals

Under the GDPR, individuals have:

• The right to data portability– Individuals have a right to transfer their data from one service provider to another. And it must happen in a commonly used and machine-readable format.
• The right to be informed– this covers any gathering of data by companies, and individuals must be informed before data is gathered. Consumers have to opt in for their data to be gathered, and consent must be freely given rather than implied.

Security safeguard

The GDPR mandates company to take technical and organizational measures to achieve a level of security appropriate to the imminent risk. This has become more urgent in wake of increasing cybersecurity threat to organisations. We advocate tokenisation, encryption of data, constant assurance of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing system and services to comply with GDPR.

Our Privacy policy is embedded in the company’s design throughout its lifecycle.

Prompt notification in case of accident or breach.

The GDPR introduces mandatory security breach notification and requires administrative and technical safeguards for personal data to reduce identified risks and to prevent data breaches. The data subject is required to be notified without undue delay if the breach portends high risk to his rights and freedoms. Notification can be dispensed with if the data breach is unlikely to result in any risk to the data subject.

We will inform the supervisory authority of data breach incident within 72 (Seventytwo) hours of discovery. In addition, the company has an incidence response plan and trained its employee on how to respond.

We also, follow following Steps for processing EU personal data to comply with GDPR:

• We will ensure consent is freely given and data subjects must “opt-in” rather than “opt-out” of data collection schemes. We will utilise personal data strictly for the purpose of collection and keep it only as long as needed.
• We will ensure security of personal data at rest and in transit with strong encryption. Tokenisation can be adopted to ensure safeguard.
• We have developed a data security breach response scheme and comprehensive incidence response plan. We trained our employees on how to identify a breach in real-time and spot potential threat. The notification and report should be prompt.
• We will review and regularly update our privacy policy, and other documentation and communications. Information provided in our privacy policy will always be easy to understand.
• We will conduct privacy and data security audit. Carefully evaluate the existing data subjects’ data and processing activities and detect potential inconsistency with the GDPR.
• We will regularly run compliance test before implementing a new technology.
• We will ensure Cross-border data transfer policy complies with the GDPR by our binding corporate rules.
