GDPR Compliance Statement

GDPR Compliance Statement

At BobalAccounting Solutions, we are committed to safeguarding the privacy and data protection rights of individuals, including our customers, employees, and partners. This GDPR Compliance Statement outlines our dedication to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and explains the measures we have implemented to ensure the security and protection of personal data.

1. Introduction to GDPR Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection regulation that came into effect on May 25, 2018, across the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). GDPR is designed to provide individuals (data subjects) with greater control over their personal data and harmonize data protection laws across the EU and EEA.

2. Data Subject Rights

Data Subject Rights are fundamental to GDPR and grant individuals certain rights and controls over their personal data. These rights include:

Right to Access: Data subjects have the right to request access to their personal data and receive information about how it is processed.

Right to Rectification: Data subjects can request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Data subjects have the right to request the deletion of their personal data under certain conditions.

Right to Data Portability: Data subjects can request their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format to transfer it to another controller.

Right to Restrict Processing: Data subjects can request the restriction of their personal data processing under specific circumstances.

Right to Object: Data subjects can object to the processing of their personal data, including for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making: GDPR provides safeguards against solely automated decision-making, including profiling, that significantly affects individuals.

3. Information Security & Technical and Organizational Measures

Protecting personal data is a top priority for us. We have implemented a range of Information Security and Technical and Organizational Measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data. These measures include:

Data Encryption: We use encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest. This ensures that personal data remains confidential and secure.

Access Control: We implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access personal data. Access permissions are regularly reviewed and updated as necessary.

Regular Data Backups: We perform regular data backups to ensure data availability in case of a security incident or data loss.

Data Minimization: We only collect and process personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): We conduct DPIAs to assess and mitigate risks associated with data processing activities, especially those that involve high risks to data subjects’ rights and freedoms.

Employee Training: Our employees receive training on data protection and GDPR compliance to ensure they understand their responsibilities and obligations.
