ISONAS Statement on GDPR Compliance
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data protection regime that becomes effective on May 25th, 2018. The GDPR extends the scope of the EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents.
The GDPR provides for a harmonization of the data protection regulations throughout the EU, thereby making it easier for companies to comply with these regulations; however, this comes at the cost of a strict data protection compliance regime.
ISONAS' Position:
At ISONAS, privacy and security are core elements of our service. Accordingly, we are always conscious and respectful of the privacy and confidentiality of individuals who visit ISONAS' websites, use our services, develop applications using ISONAS' APIs and resell ISONAS' products.
ISONAS maintains comprehensive, written information security programs that contains industry standard, administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Data. ISONAS does not share, sell, rent or trade personally identifiable information with third parties.
ISONAS has a strong track record of compliance with data privacy and security best practices. We have invested in the people, processes and technology to comply fully with the GDPR.
ISONAS participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework with respect to transfer of data to the US. We recognize that the GDPR will help us move towards the highest standards of operations in protecting customer data.
Application of the GDPR for ISONAS:
In the context of the GDPR, individuals with data stored in ISONAS Pure Access or individuals using ISONAS applications are considered Data Subjects. ISONAS end-users and in some cases ISONAS Resellers are considered Data Controllers. ISONAS is a Data Processor.
In ISONAS' role as a Data Processor, we are the responsible custodian of the Data Subject's data, performing this role on behalf of the Data Controller. The Data Controller is completely responsible to determine what data is captured, stored and processed within our application. The Data Controller is the owner of the data. ISONAS does not rent, share, disclose or sell any data owned by the Data Controller.
Within our service model, most Data Subjects will have no direct interaction with the ISONAS application that captures and stores their data. Most Data Subjects will be employees or contractors of the Data Controller. Data is captured based on their relationship with the Data Controller. The Data Controller is responsible for gaining explicit consent from the Data Subject regarding the data to be stored. Data Subject requests to purge data from ISONAS subject to ISONAS' SLA with the Data Controller will be adjudicated by the Data Controller.
In cases where Data Subjects use ISONAS' website or applications directly, ISONAS is the Data Controller and as such ISONAS will be responsible for gaining explicit or unambiguous consent based on the type of data collected. Data Subject requests to purge data collected directly by ISONAS will be adjudicated by ISONAS.
The GDPR includes provisions that grant Data Subjects portability rights in their personal data. Any personal data we store on behalf of Data Controllers is the Data Subjects. We will coordinate with Data Subjects and, as applicable Data Controllers, when requested to delete or port data. We provide for portability and are continually working to enhance our data export capabilities.
Summary
Privacy and security are core elements of ISONAS' services, so we are committed to the spirit and intent of the GDPR. While we have a solid data protection foundation in place, we recognize the need to make additional required operational changes resulting from the new legislation.
We will continue to monitor the GDPR and evolve our systems and processes to ensure continued compliance.
