The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years.<\/strong> Anyone who collects and processes personal data (defined by the GDPR as a Data Controller) will be required to comply with the new regulations to a certain degree. As well as organisations who run websites or apps, this also includes any organisations who use internal databases, CRMs or even just plain old email. Under the GPDR a data subject has the right to erasure of their data. This means that if an individual asks you to remove their data from your systems you have to comply.<\/p>\n Consent:<\/strong>\u00a0The conditions for consent have been strengthened, and companies will no longer be able to use long illegible terms and conditions full of legalese, as the request for consent must be given in an intelligible and easily accessible form, with the purpose for data processing attached to that consent. Consent must be clear and distinguishable from other matters and provided in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. It must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.<\/p>\n Privacy by design:<\/strong>\u00a0Privacy by design as a concept has existed for years now, but it is only just becoming part of a legal requirement with the GDPR. At its core, privacy by design calls for the inclusion of data protection from the onset of the designing of systems, rather than an addition. More specifically \u2013 \u2018The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in an effective way in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of data subjects\u2019. Article 23 calls for controllers to hold and process only the data absolutely necessary for the completion of its duties (data minimisation), as well as limiting the access to personal data to those needing to act out the processing.<\/p>\n Right to be forgotten:<\/strong>\u00a0Also known as Data Erasure, the right to be forgotten entitles the data subject to have the data controller erase his\/her personal data, cease further dissemination of the data, and potentially have third parties halt processing of the data. The conditions for erasure, as outlined in article 17, include the data no longer being relevant to original purposes for processing, or a data subjects withdrawing consent. It should also be noted that this right requires controllers to compare the subjects\u2019 rights to \u201cthe public interest in the availability of the data\u201d when considering such requests.<\/p>\n Distribution List:<\/strong>\u00a0what data do we collect and how can I opt-in \/ opt-out?<\/p>\n Organisation News:<\/strong>\u00a0When you sign up to our distribution list we only need to know your full name and e-mail address. This allows our database to automate an email to your email address in your name. You do not need to provide us with any other personal data, and we will never ask you for this. Your name and email address will NOT be given out to anyone. Your name and email address will be held on our host server, which you can automatically delete in full at any time by clicking unsubscribe in the footer of any of our regular communications.<\/p>\n Email Contact Form<\/strong>: what data do we collect and how is it protected? Our forms are \u2018Captcha\u2019 configured. Captcha is an acronym for \u201cCompletely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart\u201d Captcha is a type of challenge response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. The test does not check the ability to give correct answers to questions, only how closely answers resemble those a human would give. In compliance with Spam, we use Captcha on our email form, it protects \u2018everyone\u2019 from Spam.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t want to fill out our forms with your data, you can optionally click on the email hyper-link on the contact page and send us an email.<\/p>\n Cookies: what are they and how do they affect me?<\/strong> Google Analytics<\/strong>: By The Bay Bed & Breakfast may use Google Analytics on its website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics collects (first party cookies), which are text files placed on your computer to collect standard Internet log information and visitor IP behaviour. This information is sent to Google and is used to evaluate activity on our website. This enables By The Bay Bed & Breakfast to monitor statistical reports.

Google Analytics doesn\u2019t identify who you are, nor can it identify you or (PII), it simply tracks your activity on our website.<\/p>\n HTTPS \/ Security and SSL<\/strong><\/p>\n HTTPS.<\/strong> Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The \u2018S\u2019 at the end of HTTPS stands for \u2018Secure\u2019.<\/p>\n SSL Certificate:<\/strong> When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer \u2013 logins, web forms, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites. After the secure connection is made, the session key is used to encrypt all transmitted data.<\/p>\n Why do we have SSL?<\/strong> \/ \u2026. the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. Any computer in between you and the server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” admin_label=”Section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] GDPR) General Data Protection Regulation CONSENT: We only collect data that you consent to.

\nArguably the biggest change to the regulatory landscape of data privacy comes with the extended jurisdiction of the GDPR, as it applies to all companies processing the personal data of data subjects residing in the Union, regardless of the company\u2019s location. Previously, territorial applicability of the directive was ambiguous and referred to data process \u2018in context of an establishment\u2019. This topic has arisen in a number of high profile court cases. GPDR makes its applicability very clear \u2013 it will apply to the processing of personal data by controllers and processors in the EU, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the EU or not. The GDPR will also apply to the processing of personal data of data subjects in the EU by a controller or processor not established in the EU, where the activities relate to: offering goods or services to EU citizens (irrespective of whether payment is required) and the monitoring of behaviour that takes place within the EU. Non-Eu businesses processing the data of EU citizens will also have to appoint a representative in the EU.<\/p>\n
