Always think of security first when it comes to new developments. Always put our security duty first when it comes to handling these data. Monitor the community and customers’ data. We created a new internal team activity that intends to train all of our staff with state-of-the-art practices to:
We understood that many requirements are actually quite close to the American COPPA / FERPA acts that we’ve been committed to following since early 2015. We spent the first quarter of 2018 working with our lawyers to understand the GDPR and what it implies for us in terms of infrastructure, organizational impact and product changes.
In order to reinforce our transparency regarding customer data usage we listed and created clear explanations for every single use. We have updated our Privacy Policy and provided a Data processing addendum for schools to reflect our data security commitment. We reviewed all our vendors and found out about their GDPR plans to arrange a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement. We reviewed our entire infrastructure to ensure that we respect every state-of-the-art security practice. We picked and designated a Data Protection Officer who will ensure that personal data security is always ensured!. Train ourselves to always put data security at first, both when developing new features and when we consider using a new tool to help us operate the company. Understand the GDPR and what it involves for the company and our internal processes. Since the beginning of 2018, we (meaning our entire team) have been actively working to: What actions did we take to comply with the GDPR? It will be a single set of rules that govern the processing and monitoring of EU data. It will replace existing EU Data Protection laws to strengthen the protection of “personal data” and the rights of the individual.
In a few words, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a new comprehensive data protection law that comes into effect on May 25, 2018. For the past few months the entire team has been committed to understanding and ensuring that we fulfill its obligations, maintaining and improving our transparency regarding customer messaging and how we use data. It will set a new standard for how companies use and protect EU citizens’ data. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) take effect May 25, 2018.
