The data-driven world around us is witnessing an Information Revolution, where technocrats are generating, capturing, and processing enormous amounts of data about people, their locations, products, and services. It is the need of the hour to incorporate strict privacy principles into our data management policies.

1. Introduction to GDPR

In order to address key data privacy issues, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been deployed across the European Union. A world reshaped by data must define data governance, data processing activities, and data compliance specifically who owns it, uses it, and how it is protected. As a result, every organization that collects, processes, or stores personal data must take active steps to ensure compliance.

The GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of the digital age by updating myriad national data protection laws with a cohesive set of rules. The Regulation aims to standardize data protection laws across the EU, affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.

2. Our Commitment to Compliance

Stuntech Insights is committed to high standards of information security, data privacy, and transparency, managing data in strict covenant with global legislation, including but not limited to the GDPR. We value our enterprise customers’ success and understand the absolute need for a compliant and consistent approach to B2B data protection.

We have always been dedicated to safeguarding the professional information of our users. We recognize our ongoing obligations to continuously update and expand our privacy programs to meet the rigorous demands of the GDPR.

3. GDPR Readiness & Actions

The GDPR imposes strict rules on organizations that offer goods and services to people in the EU, or that collect and analyze data tied to EU residents, regardless of the agency’s physical location. Stuntech Insights focuses on the following facets to ensure continuous compliance:

• Building upon existing security and business continuity processes with enhanced personal privacy controls.
• Performing gap and privacy assessments to support GDPR compliance for our clients, including mandatory breach reporting procedures.
• Developing compliance plans and building a highly secure platform for clients by giving them control over their deployment and data options.
• Amending all data contracts to meet additional regulatory requirements introduced by the GDPR.
• Deploying dedicated erasure procedures to meet the “Right to Erasure” obligation, while continuously assessing data retention periods and response time-frames.
• Renovating processes for recording consent to ensure an affirmative opt-in, complete with time and date records, and an easy mechanism to withdraw consent at any time.

4. Technical & Organizational Measures

Stuntech Insights is highly perceptive regarding the privacy and security of users’ personal data. We take every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure the data we process. We have robust information security policies in place to protect data from alteration, unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction.

Our layered security measures include data encryption in storage and in transit, strict password policies, robust authentication mechanisms, and continuous technical and organizational detective controls. Furthermore, we ensure that our customers remain the sole owners of their data, retaining all rights, titles, and interests over the system.

5. Internal Governance & Training

To maintain a consistent level of data protection across our organization, we have deployed a dedicated data privacy team. This team is responsible for promoting GDPR awareness, evaluating our compliance readiness, identifying potential flaws, and implementing new policies and procedures.

We have also integrated comprehensive GDPR training courses into our employee onboarding and annual training programs. All staff from sales to security are continuously trained on key regulatory changes and enhanced data rights.

6. Additional Resources

Compliance is a shared responsibility between Stuntech Insights and our clients. We provide our enterprise customers with the ability to specify data access controls within each domain to prevent inappropriate use and meet their own GDPR obligations regarding deletion, rectification, and data transfer.
