Check Out The GDPR
Check Out The GDPR
We’re just a couple of days away before the GDPR regulation is here! We’ll summarize everything
there is to know and to do before the 25. May in this handy checklist:
Let the visitors oversee their data. Comply to the following 8 rights:
o Access data
o Recline
o To be informed
o To be forgotten
o To restrict processing
o Data portability (it should be available on all devices)
o To object
o Rights related to profiling and automated responses (the client can choose if you can
use their data for it)
Be transparent, let the visitors know what data you use, when you use is, how you use it and
for what purpose
Check if you have unauthorised data and ask if you can use it (+ purpose!)
If applicable, fill in the DPIA, showing you the risks when there’s a data leak
Let everybody in your team/company know how GDPR changes the business and what it
contains
Point out a DPO for further maintenance and safety
Appoint a supervisory authority, if applicable (f. ex. The Privacy Commission of Belgium)
Add more security measures to your databases to prevent data leaks/hacks
Build in escalation mechanisms, so you can measure the safety
When data transfer is needed, do it safely, not via cloud (and let the visitor know + why)
Make the right contracts
When there’s data leaked; tell it, say what’s the damage and how you will fix it and prevent it
in the future. Don’t panic!
Think out a contingency plan
