What you need to know about the GDPR when collecting feedback in Europe
Introduction
On May 25th, 2018, the European Union’s (EU) new data protection framework, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), will come into force. It is the most significant piece of data protection legislation to date and will impact any organization that processes personal data in connection with goods/services offered to an EU resident, or monitors the behaviour of persons within the EU. The GDPR strengthens individuals’ privacy rights through stricter limits on the processing of their personal data, significantly expanding their rights over their data, and providing increased transparency into the nature, purpose, and utility of it.
GDPR Overview
As a regulation instead of a directive, the GDPR becomes enforceable as law in all EU member states simultaneously on this date. It replaces the separate member state implementations of data protection law, streamlining compliance by providing a single set of principles to follow.
The scope of this new regulation covers all organizations that process the personal data of EU residents or monitor individuals’ behaviours conducted within the EU, regardless of the entity’s location. The terms processing and personal data are defined broadly: processing involves “any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data” and personal data means “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’).” The GDPR outlines various requirements for Controllers (entities who determine the purposes and means of the processing of personal data) and Processors (entities who process personal data as directed by a Controller).
| Key Requirements | Brief Description |
|---|---|
| Data Protection by Design and Default | Controllers and Processors must incorporate data protection into new products and services that involve the processing of personal data (Design) and consider data protection issues in all business decisions (Default). |
| Lawfulness of Processing |
Processing must be based on consent, performance of a contract, legal obligation, protection of vital interests, tasks carried out in the public interest, or legitimate interest balanced against the fundamental rights of data subjects. |
| Conditions for Consent |
Requests for consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous through a statement or through a clear affirmative action. |
| Security of Processing |
Controllers and Processors shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. |
Data Subject Rights & Information |
Controllers shall provide the information outlined in Articles 13 & 14 to Data Subjects and Data Subjects may access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, and transfer their personal data, as well as object to automated decision-making based on their personal data. |
| Data Inventory |
Controllers and Processors must create centralized repositories containing records of processing activities carried out on personal data. |
| Data Protection Impact Assessments |
Where a type of processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, prior to processing Controllers must carry out assessments of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data. |
| Data Protection Officer |
Controllers and Processors whose core activities consist of processing operations which require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale or large-scale processing of special categories of data must appoint a Data Protection Officer. |
| Controller-Processor Relationships | Controller and Processor relationships must be governed by binding contracts that set the terms of the processing to be performed and provide Controllers with the right to object to Sub-Processors engaged by the Processors. |
| Data Breach Reporting |
In the event of a breach involving personal data, the Controller shall, where feasible, notify the relevant Supervisory Authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it and, if there is a likely high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the affected data subjects without undue delay. |
Suggested Steps for GDPR Compliance
There are several steps that companies should take in anticipation of May 25th 2018, which Netigate have already implemented, such as:
- Form a GDPR compliance team and assign responsibilities
- Undertake a GDPR readiness assessment
- Evaluate requirements for a Data Protection Officer and appoint one if necessary
- Implement policies and procedures to respond to data subjects’ rights requests
