Comprehensive governance documentation for Excelsior Research Pvt. Ltd. Adhering to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, and Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL 2014).
The data-driven world around us is witnessing an Information Revolution, where the technocrats are generating, capturing, and processing enormous data about people, their location, products, or services. It’s the need of an hour to incorporate important concepts and principles into our already defined data management policies.
In order to address the key issues, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been deployed across the European Union as of 25th May 2018. A world reshaped by data must define data governance, data processing activities, and data compliance (who owns it, uses it, and how it’s protected). As a result, every organization that collects, processes, or stores personal data should be taking steps to ensure compliance.
The GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of the digital age by updating the myriad national data protection laws currently in place with a cohesive set of rules. The new Regulation aims to standardize data protection laws and processing across the EU; affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.
Excelsior Research Pvt. Ltd. (“we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to high standards of information security, data privacy, and transparency and to managing data in covenant with legislation and regulation, including but not limited to GDPR. At Excelsior Research Pvt. Ltd., we value our customers’ success and understand the need of a compliant and consistent approach to data protection.
We have always been dedicated to safeguarding the personal information of our users under our remit. However, we recognize our obligations in continuously updating and expanding this program to keep meeting the demands of the GDPR.
The GDPR imposes new rules on organizations in the European Union (EU) and those that offer goods and services to people in the EU, or that collect and analyze data tied to EU residents, no matter where they are located.
Excelsior Research Pvt. Ltd. focuses on the following key facets while preparing and executing GDPR compliance:
Excelsior Research Pvt. Ltd. takes every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure the personal data that we process. We have robust information security policies and procedures in place to protect personal data from alteration, unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction and maintain several layers of security measures:
To maintain a consistent level of data protection and security across our organization, we have deployed a dedicated Data Privacy Team that works to develop and implement the roadmap for complying with data protection regulations. The team is responsible for promoting awareness of the GDPR, evaluating compliance enthusiasm, identifying flaws if any, and continuously implementing new policies, procedures, and measures.
We have also inculcated the GDPR training course in our employee training program specific to our core business functions deployed through our induction and annual training program.
