Q: Will I get fined for non-compliance?

Let’s not kid ourselves, the biggest threat to organisations from GDPR is running the risk of massive fines.

In saying that, GDPR law is not about handing our fines, it’s about putting the rights of the individual first.

Before a fine is handed out, a serious of sanctions take place.

Whilst it may not be financial to begin with, it will definitely place a massive dent in the reputation of the offending party. When you lose the trust with your audience and/or your staff, it’s pretty much game over.

One thing is for certain, there is no room for complacency, not matter where in the world you are.

 question sent in by Zachary.T from Singapore

Q: Why isn’t GDPR Registrar a free service?

As much as we would like to make it a free platform, it would be beyond our personal financial ability in doing so.

We researched extensively to find the fair price medium, one that will make it a value added incentive on your behalf and one that would maintain the costs in operating and evolving this site.

Bottom line is we have settled on a pricing model for the many and not for the few.

question sent in by Joyce.T from Ireland

Q: Why are your membership prices so low?

Knowledge has no price limit and yes we could quite easily charge more.

The reason we don’t is simple. This platform has been designed to offer the tools to the many and not the few. We believe our pricing structure is fair and affordable to everyone, without compromising on our objectives to our members and to our purpose of existence.

If you wish to shout our team a cup of coffee then we won’t say no. Simply spin the wheel below to see how many of our staff will enjoy your shout.

So you know, its €1 per shout.

Q: Who does GDPR apply to?

GDPR applies to anyone that applies, handles, processes, and/or monitors personal data of residents (full-time or temporary including foreign tourists) within the European Union, no matter where in the world this activity is conducted from.

Furthermore, it matters not whether you hold onto the data for 1 minute or 10 years.

 question sent in by Andrea.F from Australia

Q: Who do GDPR privacy protocols apply to?

GDPR protocols apply to all forms of relationships where in concerns European Union Residents (full-time or temporary including foreign tourists).

The types of relationship fall under 3 categories:

✍ B2B (business to business) where third party relationships are involved in the processing of personal data.

✍ B2C (business to consumer) where you are required to demonstrate responsibility towards personal data.

✍ B2E (business to employee) where the data you hold on current, past and prospective employees is managed within the boundaries of GDPR protocols.

 question sent in by John.K from Belgium

Q: Who can I email?

To clear the air and any confusion, you can email both B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) based on the following parameters:

 B2B (Business to Business) in 5 steps

  2. Define your legitimate interest when emailing them.
  3. Allow them to unsubscribe easily and/or to opt-out of future emails.
  4. Keep your database clean and up to date.
  5. Make sure the business email is not a personal name, example:

    • etc…

 B2C (Business to Consumer) in 5 steps

  2. Adjust your lead generation and consent forms, permitting the users to opt-in freely, be specific, keep it simple, and easy to understand.
  3. When collecting data for multiple marketing channels (sms, postal mail, email…) give the user the option to pick which channels they wish to receive communications from you. Provide separate options for each channel.
  4. Be clear with your audience should the information you collect from them is likely to be shared with 3rd parties.

This right given to you by GDPR is referred to as DSAR (Data Subject Access Request).

Q: What is pseudonymization?

It’s when digitally stored data (information entered via a computer, mobile device, laptop, etc…) is encrypted in such a way where it makes it impossible for unauthorized people to trace it back to an individual.

The 5 key methods used to achieve pseudonymization are:

♒ Encryption (involving the rendering of the original data as unreadable and which cannot be rendered readable without an encryption key)

♒ Tokenization (involving the substitution of sensitive data elements with a non-sensitive elements, that hold no extrinsic or exploitable meaning or value)

♒ Blurring (involving obfuscation just like media outlets rendering the faces of anonymous sources unrecognizable)

♒ Masking (involving the masking of data where it still permits you to identify the data “example a credit card: XXXX XXXX XXXX 1964” without identifying the individual )

♒ Scrambling (involving a combination or obfuscation of alpha/numeric characters)

Q: What is GDPRs global reach?

The impact of GDPR is global.

GDPR is a legal chapter established by the European Union and affects directly any entity worldwide that that applies, handles, processes, and/or monitors personal data of residents (full-time or temporary including foreign tourists) within the European Union, no matter where in the world this activity is conducted from. Simply put, you cannot hide from it or avoid it.

Currently, over 23,000,000 companies worldwide in 191 countries conduct some form of business activity which involves European Union residents. Chances are you’re one of these companies.

Here are the 3 key questions you need to immediately ask yourself:

  1. Do you have a registered mailing address within the European Union for all your GDPR related matters?
  2. Do you have someone with exceptional GDPR knowledge and data protection experience within the European Union to be your first line of contact regarding GDPR related matters?
  3. Have you taken the first basic steps towards GDPR compliance?

If you answered NO to any one of the 3 questions then we can assist you. GDPR Registrar is designed to provide the platform for entities such as yourself to commit to compliance and to be registered & represented within the European Union as required by law.

Q: What is biometrics?

Biometrics is the measurement and statistical analysis of people’s unique physical and behavioral characteristics. The technology is mainly used for identification and access control, or for identifying individuals who are under surveillance.

The basic premise of biometric authentication is that every person can be accurately identified by his or her intrinsic physical or behavioral traits.

Biometric identifiers are divided into 2 categories, Behavioral and Physiological.

♀♂Behavioral characteristics are related to the pattern of behavior of a person, including but not limited to typing rhythm, gait, and voice, otherwise referred to as behaviometrics.

♀♂Physiological characteristics are related to the shape of the body, including but not limited to fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina and odor and/or scent.

Examples of biometrics include token-based identification systems, such as a driver’s license or passport, and knowledge-based identification systems, such as a password or personal identification number.

Since biometric identifiers are unique to individuals, they are more reliable in verifying identity than token and knowledge-based methods; however, the collection of biometric identifiers raises privacy concerns about the ultimate use of this information.

question sent in by Marylin.S from Canada

Q: What information can’t I ask for?

You don’t have the right to make a request and gain access to the information of a 3rd party individual, unless you have been properly appointed as the authorized representative of the original individual seeking access to their information.

The entity receiving your request requires:

  1. sufficient evidence on your behalf to verify the identity of the data subject making such a request and
  2. sufficient details on your behalf so it can locate your request.

If the responsible person refuses your Data Subject Access Request on behalf of the entity, they must clearly set out in writing the reasons for the rejection.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request, then you have the right to ask the entity for the details to their independent DPO (Data Protection Officer) to review your case.

question sent in by Frank.A from UK

Q: What if we cannot afford the costs to comply?

One thing people forget, and we wish to make this very clear, especially for small to medium size businesses. GDPR is not designed to put you out of business!!! 

GDPR requires you to DEMONSTRATE that you are committed in working towards being compliant.

Don’t act from a position of fear, that’s the biggest and most costly mistake you’ll make.

Do yourself a favor:

  1. Take a step back.
  2. Take a deep breath.
  3. Take a structured approach towards compliance.

When you register for free with us, we’ll give you your free step-by-step plan of action. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR FREE .

We’re not going to lie to you, once you have gone through the plan, you will most likely become a registered member with us and/or with another quality organization for reasons that will become clear to you.

Q: What are the principles of GDPR based on?

The principles are based on entities being responsible in considering what accountability they may or may not need to comply with. This is strictly based on the unique and specific circumstances of their activities and how they utilize the data they receive.

Each entities principles of compliance will differ according to interpretation and circumstances. The core principle is being able to demonstrate that you are committed to GDPR Compliance and are being proactive in achieving this target, whilst being able to demonstrate it when required.

Taking this approach will direct you in the right direction towards compliance.

Q: How long can someone hold onto my data for?

When it’s for contractual reasons, for example you purchased a product, service, made a donation and actions of similar nature, it generally ranges about 6-7 years.

It’s always good to reach out to the entity to clarify this for you. You’ll find that the majority of companies will be more than happy to answer your question. Keep in mind that they have 30 days to respond to you.

If they don’t, then you can file an official complaint via our online form FILE A COMPLAINT. This service is also part of our free membership.

Here is a great infograph from Erik Underwood c/o TechRepublic, with interesting insights into why your data is being collected.

Q: How does someone get fined outside of the EU?

Article 27 of the GDPR is the first line of defense. It requires companies without operations in the EU to appoint an EU representative. If that doesn’t happen, non-EU companies will be perused via local enforcement actions within their country via mutual legal assistance treaties (MLAT), and private prosecutions under similar local laws.

Q: Do I need to train my staff?

The logical answer is yes you do, as they are your controllers and processors of the information you receive. Furthermore it matters not whether you are a small family business or a large organization,

The purpose of a certification is to develop a code-of-conduct for your staff to follow, which in return helps them understand the requirements and actions needed in being compliant.

Q: Can a Controller or Processor be fined?

The short answer is yes.

In saying that, a monetary fine is only one of the corrective measures included in the GDPR to apply pressure on controllers and processors to comply with the regulation.

Not all violations will result in a monetary fines, and not all fines will be based on the maximum amount, though rest assured it won’t be pocket change either.

A monetary fine is the last step in a long process designed to address the scope of an infringement by a Controller and/or Processor, concurrently assessing on how the organization allowed the infringement to happen in the first place and to monitor what steps have been taken to address the violation and any further violations.

GDPA VIDEO CONFERENCING

OVERVIEW

For us at GDPA, providing you a conference platform you can rely on is the most important thing. That means, amongst other things, we are very mindful of the security and privacy aspects that affect our users.

Security and privacy are very broad topics so we are going to try and go through some practical use cases to demonstrate what’s at play.

Fully secure you say… What does this mean exactly?

In many respects meetings are simply private by design.

To begin with, all meeting rooms are ephemeral: they only exist while the meeting is actually taking place.

They get created when the first participant joins and they are destroyed when the last one leaves. If someone joins the same room again, a brand new meeting is created with the same name and there is no connection to any previous meeting that might have been held with the same name.

This is all very important. Some of the systems that let people “pre-create” rooms, have subtle indications that let a potential attacker distinguish reserved from unreserved meetings which then makes the reserved meetings easier to identify and target.

That said, since a name is all that one needs to actually access a room, we have to be really careful about how we choose them. We don’t want others accidentally stumbling into your meetings, just as we want to keep pranksters and snoopers away. Therefore you simply create a unique name for your conference or use our random code generator below. Once created, it’s what you will share with the people you want to participate.

If you start a meeting with the name “Test”, “Demo” or “Family” for example, chances of having some random uninvited people joining are very, very high. How does one pick a good room name then? Our random meeting name generator below is a great start. It offers names that are easy to remember and read out loud on a phone call, and come from a set of over a trillion possible combinations. Picking out one of the auto-generated names is therefore quite safe.
