Personal Data Processing Policy (GDPR)

Terms and Definitions
  • “staff” and “users” means all of those who work under our control, including employees, contractors, interns etc.

Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a privacy and data protection regulation in the European Union (EU) and will be enforceable from May 25, 2018 and requires no enabling legislation so automatically becomes binding and applicable on that date.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR imposes new obligations on organisations that control or process relevant personal data and introduces new rights and protections for EU data subjects. The GDPR applies to data processing carried out by organisations operating within the EU. It also applies to organisations outside the EU that offer goods or services to individuals in the EU.

PersonoHR places high importance on information security and within our organisation we already comply with an ISO standard that focus on information data security including ISO 27001.
