Data Protection & Commitment to GDPR

Cattleya Technosys Pvt. Ltd is fully compliant with the GDPR laws. We promise to safeguard your data and protect your privacy rights.

Introduction


The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) came into force across the European Union on 25th May 2018 and brought with it the most significant changes to data protection law in two decades. GDPR is also applicable to companies outside the EU that process EU citizens’ data. The GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of today’s digitally interconnected world and is based on the fundamentals of privacy by design and privacy by default. The GDPR brings with it broad use of technology, new definitions of what constitutes personal data, and a vast increase in cross-border processing. The new Regulation aims to standardize data protection laws and processing across the EU, affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.



How we comply with the GDPR


At Cattleya Technosys Pvt. Ltd, we have always had a consistent level of data protection and security across our organization. We are fully compliant with the GDPR in every way applicable to our business:

Risk Assessment - We have performed a company-wide information audit to identify and assess what personal information we hold, where it comes from, how and why it is processed, and to whom it is disclosed.

Policies & Procedures - We have implemented new data protection policies and procedures to meet the requirements and standards of the GDPR and any relevant data protection laws, including:

Data Protection - Our main policy and procedure document for data protection have been overhauled to meet the standards and requirements of the GDPR. We have adequately trained our employees about GDPR directives to protect individual privacy rights under this law.

Data Retention & Erasure – We have updated our retention policy and schedule to ensure that we meet the ‘data minimization’ and ‘storage limitation’ principles and that personal information is stored, archived, and destroyed compliantly and ethically. We have dedicated erasure procedures in place to meet the new ‘Right to Erasure’ obligation. We are aware of when this and other data subject’s rights apply; along with any exemptions, response timeframes and notification responsibilities.

Data Breaches – Our breach procedures ensure that we have safeguards and measures in place to identify, assess, investigate, and report any personal data breach at the earliest possibility. Our procedures are robust and have been disseminated to all employees, who are aware of the reporting lines and steps to follow.

International Data Transfers & Third-Party Disclosures – Where Cattleya Technosys Pvt. Ltd stores or transfers personal information outside the EU, we have stringent procedures and safeguarding measures in place to secure, encrypt, and maintain the integrity of the data. Our procedures include a continual review of the countries with sufficient adequacy decisions, as well as provisions for binding corporate rules, or approved codes of conduct for those countries without. We carry out strict due diligence checks with all recipients of personal data to assess and verify that they have appropriate safeguards in place to protect the information, ensure enforceable data subject rights and have effective legal remedies for data subjects where applicable.

Privacy Policy – Our Privacy Policy complies with GDPR, ensuring that all individuals whose personal information we process have been informed of why we need it, how it is used, what their rights are, who the information is disclosed to, and what safeguards are in place to protect their information.

Data Processing Addendum – Where we use any third-party to process personal information on our behalf, we have drafted compliant Processor Agreements and due diligence procedures to ensure that they (as well as we) meet and understand their/ our GDPR obligations. These measures include initial and ongoing reviews of the service(s) provided, the necessity of the processing activity, the technical and organizational measures in place, and compliance with the GDPR.

Data Subject Rights – In addition to the policies and procedures mentioned above that ensure individuals can enforce their data protection rights, we provide information via email to individuals to comply with their right to access any personal information that Cattleya Technosys Pvt. Ltd processes about them and to request information about:

  • What personal data we hold about them

  • If we did not collect the data directly from them, information about the source
  • The right to have incomplete or inaccurate data about them corrected or completed and the process for requesting this
  • The right to request the erasure of personal data (where applicable) or to restrict processing in accordance with data protection laws, as well as to object to any direct marketing from us and to be informed about any automated decision-making that we use
  • The right to lodge a complaint or seek judicial remedy; and who is to be contacted in such instances
