What is GDPR and how do we document compliance

GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation2016/679) is the European legislation that is the framework for how companies should operate and protect customers, employees and other physical persons data. Formalize documents its compliance by submitting itself to yearly inspections and revisions in the form of an ISAE 3000 audit and maintaining an ISO 27001 certification. This policy undergoes regular reviews and is an integrated part of our compliance framework and describes how Formalize as a datacontroller treats your data for various purposes and situations.

I am registered in your system

In case you are registered in our system either as a user, a reported person, or a whistleblower then Formalize is not the datacontroller but the dataprocessor. In that case, you need to reach out to the datacontroller who typically is the company that uses the system. The datacontroller can then reach out to Formalize should they have need of assistance. Formalize does not have access to your information as the data is encrypted with an external key that the datacontroller holds. The datacontroller is the owner of the legal basis, but most often it will based on Article 6.1 litra f - Legitimate interest. Formalize cannot know what information and specific datacategories that are stored as it will be dependent on the information you and/or the datacontroller submit. Data categories can be all of non-sensitive, sensitive, information on criminal offenses and confidential information. Data is deleted at the discretion of the datacontroller.
