Who we share your data with
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) begins on 25 May 2018.
We’ve been busy making sure we’re compliant, transparent and adhere to all necessary changes. Although these changes have been prompted by European law, we want to protect the privacy of all our customers, vendors, translators and associates around the world and wherever you’re located.
What We’re Doing
We’re not collecting more data or using your personal data any differently. All we’re doing is complying with the GDPR.
Really, there’s very little change regarding how we do things, because we take data privacy, processing, sharing and storage extremely seriously at documents-processing.com Translations.
We’re completely transparent on how we use the information we collect, how long we keep that data, and the rights you have regarding it.
We’re contacting all our customers with information about how they can control personal data usage provided to us.
GDPR gives businesses around the world a chance to update how they manage their communications to customers, how they comply with the new laws and how they can improve customer services. By using documents-processing.com Translations or The documents-processing.com Group services on or after 25 May 2018, you’re agreeing to the changes following GDPR.
If you have questions about these changes, feel free to reach out to us at: contact@documents-processing.com
Accessing all our data sources through traditional data warehouses, structured and unstructured data, data at rest and data in motion to establish what personal data is being stored by us. GDPR requires organizations to prove that they know where all personal data is – and where it isn’t.
Inspecting all data resources to establish what personal data can be found. This includes extracting, categorizing and cataloguing personal data elements such as first names and last names, email addresses and company names.
Documenting and sharing new GDPR/privacy rules across all areas of the business. Strict governance ensures personal data can only be accessed by those with proper rights, based on the nature of the personal data, the rights associated with user groups and the usage context.
Establishing the correct levels and techniques to protect data: through either encryption, pseudonymization and anonymization based on the user’s rights and the usage context.
Producing reports for independent auditors to verify what personal data we have, where it’s located, that we properly manage the process for getting consent from individuals who are involved; proof of how personal data is used, who uses it and for what purpose; and that all appropriate processes are in place to manage data breaches and security issues.
