"Does the GDPR apply if we maintain a database for a client, but the servers are in the US, and the data is accessed by people from Asian Countries, the EU, and the UK?" The EU GDPR, or UK GDPR for UK residents, applies to those 8% of people who are not from Asian countries. For this reason, it makes sense to ensure that the entire process is GDPR-compliant because you as a Processor won’t know when an EU or UK resident will submit their information into the database if the information is gathered online. In the slides below, you can find what other considerations your relationship with your client should include ↓ #DataProtection #DataPrivacy #Compliance

From a GDPR perspective, data from European companies should preferably be processed within the EU. 💻 However, many providers of sales territory management software directly or indirectly use the services of US companies, which means that the data leaves the European Union. 🤔 At portatour®, however, all servers are located in the EU, so that data processing takes place exclusively there. 🔐 #portatour® #territoryplanning #DSGVO #GDPR

GDPR and Data Protection in Pakistan In today's digital age, data protection is a global concern. While the EU's GDPR sets standards for handling user data, Pakistan lacks comprehensive data protection laws. Businesses must still adhere to global privacy and security best practices when handling user information, as failure to do so can result in legal consequences. Data protection is crucial for safeguarding personal and business information. Businesses should implement security measures, and individuals should be cautious online. Pakistan has introduced the "Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act" to penalize cybercrimes, but there's room for further development. Pakistan needs to update its data protection laws to align with international standards, fostering trust in businesses and ensuring citizens' privacy rights. It's essential for individuals and organizations to be aware of their responsibilities under future data protection legislation, contributing to a more secure online environment. #DataProtection #Pakistan #GDPR

Brexit happened, so what about GDPR? Wasn't that an EU directive? Well, yes, but The GDPR is retained in domestic law as the UK GDPR. The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There are some differences between GDPR and UK-GDPR, but these mainly concern national security, the intelligence services and immigration. So for businesses, the crux of the law remains the same: it covers personal information collected and stored electronically and personal data stored on paper. That means, if your business is upgrading its computers, the old computers (also phones and tablets) must be securely and completely wiped and destroyed. And as for all those paper records lying around in filing cabinets.... ask yourself, are they really secure? Need a secure shredding solution for IT and paper?
