Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), we may collect and use your information. In this section of our Privacy Policy, we will explain how and why we collect this data and how we ensure its protection to prevent unauthorized use.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is a privacy and data protection law that applies across the European Union (EU) and regulates the protection of the personal data of EU residents. It grants individuals greater control over their personal data and imposes obligations on companies that handle such data.
The scope of GDPR extends beyond EU-based businesses and EU residents. As a globally operating company, we recognize the importance of our customer’s data, regardless of their location. Therefore, we have implemented GDPR controls as our standard practice worldwide to safeguard personal information.
What is personal data?
Personal data refers to any information that relates to an identifiable individual. Under GDPR, personal data includes basic details like name and email address and extends to other information such as financial details, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical addresses, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles
- Personal data must be collected and processed fairly, legally, and transparently and used only for the purposes that individuals would reasonably expect.
- Organizations should specify the purpose for collecting personal data at the time of collection, ensuring it is only used for that specific purpose.
- Personal data should not be retained longer than necessary to fulfill its intended purpose.
- Individuals have the right to access their personal data, request copies, update or correct it, delete it, restrict its processing, or transfer it to another organization.
Why is GDPR necessary?
GDPR sets forth requirements for the protection of personal data collected and processed by companies. It emphasizes compliance, enforces stricter measures, and imposes significant fines for breaches. Beyond legal obligations, prioritizing data privacy is the right thing to do. At The Tech Mantle, we highly value your data privacy and have implemented robust security and privacy practices that exceed the requirements of GDPR.
Individual Data Subject’s Rights – Data Access, Portability, and Deletion
The Tech Mantle is committed to assisting our clients in meeting the GDPR requirements for data subject rights. We process and store all personal information with vendors who adhere to data protection laws.
Unless your account is deleted, conversations and personal information are stored for up to 6 years. In such a case, we will dispose of the data per our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not retain it for more than sixty days.
If you work with EU customers, we understand the importance of providing them with access, updates, retrieval, and removal of their personal data. We have designed our platform to be self-service, allowing you to access your data and your customer’s data. Our customer support team is available to assist you with any questions regarding the API.
