GDPR Compliance at BytePhase Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

GDPR Compliance at BytePhase Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

At BytePhase Technologies Pvt. Ltd., we are committed to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which standardizes data protection laws across Europe while enhancing individual privacy rights. As a company that may process personal data of EU citizens, we have implemented measures to protect customer data and ensure compliance with GDPR principles. This page outlines our GDPR compliance policies, the rights of individuals, and the tools we provide to help our customers comply with GDPR requirements.

1. What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework established by the European Union (EU) to safeguard the personal data of its citizens. It replaces the Data Protection Directive and strengthens the privacy rights of individuals, including the “right to be forgotten,” which allows individuals to request the deletion of their personal data. GDPR applies to all businesses operating within the EU or dealing with the personal data of EU citizens.

2. Data Controller Responsibilities

As users of BytePhase Technologies’ CRM software, our customers act as Data Controllers if they process the personal data of EU citizens. This means that businesses using our platform are responsible for ensuring the protection of this data and complying with GDPR principles, such as obtaining clear consent, respecting data subject rights, and ensuring secure data processing.

3. Customer Consent and Data Collection

We have updated our platform to comply with GDPR by ensuring that consent is obtained before collecting or processing any personal data. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. When collecting data, businesses are required to clearly explain how the data will be used and gain explicit permission before proceeding.

Consent Features:

  • Customer Registration Process: Customers must give consent during registration before their data is processed.

  • Consent for Data Processing: Customers have the right to be informed and give consent before their data is stored or used for marketing purposes.

  • Modify or Withdraw Consent: Customers can modify or withdraw consent at any time through the customer portal or by contacting BytePhase Technologies.

4. Data Portability and Access

Individuals have the right to request a copy of their personal data in a machine-readable format. BytePhase Technologies offers tools to facilitate this:

  • Customers can request a portable copy of their data via the customer portal.

  • Businesses can assist customers in downloading or transferring their data.

5. Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Customers have the right to request the deletion of their personal data. BytePhase Technologies provides tools for businesses to manage these requests:

  • Soft Delete: If a customer has associated records (e.g., tickets, invoices), their data can be partially erased while retaining necessary financial records.

  • Full Erasure: If no records exist, the customer’s data can be fully purged from the system.

6. Data Security and Breach Notification

BytePhase Technologies takes data security seriously and has implemented measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or theft. In the event of a data breach, BytePhase Technologies will notify the relevant supervisory authorities and affected individuals within 72 hours, as required by the GDPR.

7. Subprocessors and Data Sharing

BytePhase Technologies works with third-party service providers (subprocessors) who may have access to personal data. We ensure that all subprocessors comply with GDPR standards, and we maintain a list of subprocessors on our website.

8. Customer Rights Under GDPR

BytePhase Technologies ensures that individuals can exercise their GDPR rights, which include:

  • Right to be Informed: Individuals have the right to know how their data is collected, stored, and used.

  • Right to Rectification: Individuals can request corrections to their personal data.

  • Right to Object: Individuals can object to the use of their data for direct marketing or profiling.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: Individuals can request the suppression of their personal data, allowing storage but prohibiting its use.

  • Right to Data Portability: Individuals can request their data in a structured, machine-readable format.

9. Compliance Tools

We provide a comprehensive set of tools to help businesses comply with GDPR:

  • GDPR Center: Businesses can manage consent settings, modify customer consents, and handle bulk consent operations.

  • Customer Portal: Customers can manage their data and privacy settings through our self-service portal.

  • Breach Notification Support: BytePhase will promptly notify businesses in case of a data breach.

10. Ongoing Updates

We continuously update our systems and policies to stay aligned with GDPR requirements. Businesses using BytePhase Technologies are encouraged to regularly review their GDPR compliance practices and consult legal professionals as needed.
