7 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
AppOmni’s relationship with controllers
In providing the AppOmni services, AppOmni only processes personal data upon the documented instructions of its customers. To that end, AppOmni has template data processing agreements ready for use with its customers, which include the following provisions:
- Subject matter and duration of processing
- Nature and purpose of processing
- Type of personal data and category of data subject in question
- Obligations and rights of our customers (as data controllers).
AppOmni imposes confidentiality obligations on its authorized personnel who process the personal data. AppOmni has implemented measures to assist its customers in complying with data subjects’ rights and requests.
Data Transfers to countries outside the EEA
We share data both with our affiliated companies within the AppOmni group and certain external third parties who are based outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Any such processing will involve an export of data outside of the EEA. We endeavor to ensure that people to whom we provide personal data hold it subject to appropriate safeguards and controls. Whenever we transfer our customers’ employees’ personal data out of the EEA to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing the following safeguards:
- We use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe known as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) or Model Contracts. For further details, see EU: Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers between EU and non-EU countries.
For example, our cloud storage provider is Google Cloud Platform and we have entered into GDPR-compliant data processing terms, which incorporate by reference Model Contractual Clauses.
Based on AppOmni’s understanding of GDPR, in consultation with other large, multinational organizations doing business in the EU, data containing personal data as defined by GDPR, including email addresses of individuals, may lawfully be transferred and reside outside the EEA for the purposes of processing such data to legitimately protect their organizations from cyberattacks.
It is AppOmni’s belief and assumption that it meets all current applicable data protection requirements as laid out by the GDPR for the purposes of cross border transfers of personal data.
