How Particeep addresses data protection and the GDPR regulation
Regulation 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is the European reference text on the protection of personal data. It strengthens and unifies data protection for individuals within the European Union.
Particeep has put in place several procedures in order to guarantee its clients :
- GDPR Compliant solutions.
- the protection of the data used via the Particeep API
How Particeep complies with GDPR
We have implemented several actions related to the main provisions of the GDPR directive
- Harmonised framework and extra-territorial application: Particeep fits into this framework.
- Explicit and positive consent: on our white label platforms, the user has a checkbox at registration. A user cannot create an account without checking this box
- Right to erasure: any erasure request is made within one day. Data can also be deleted by the customer and by the administrator from their respective spaces.
- The right to data portability: this is one of the key points of our API.
- Customer profiling: on our white label platforms, the customer is notified when the customer is being profiled. For API users only, it is their responsibility to perform this prior validation in their customer interfaces.
- The principles of "data protection by design" and "security by default": Particeep uses the latest security standards (modern frameworks, https, encrypted passwords in database, data hashing, etc....). Moreover, our solution has been audited by Econocom's digital security teams and pentests are regularly performed.
- Notifications in case of data leakage: To date this has never happened. In case of a problem on the Particeep API, clients are notified automatically
- Mandatory appointment of a data protection officer: Given the size of Particeep this is a role carried by our technical director and by our hosting provider clevercloud who is also GDPR compliant.
- Privacy impact assessment: our teams work on drafting regulatory documents in-house
