Information about General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR)
We may be
collecting and using information from you if you are from the European Economic
Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we are going to explain
exactly how and why is this data collected, and how we maintain this data under
protection from being replicated or used in the wrong way.
What is GDPR?
GDPR is an
EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents' data
is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over
their personal data.
The GDPR is
relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based businesses
and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they
are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline
standard for all our operations worldwide.
What is personal data?
Any data that
relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad
spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with
other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond
a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information,
political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical
address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data
Protection Principles include requirements such as:
- Personal data collected
must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be
used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
- Personal data should
only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used
for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal
data when they collect it.
- Personal data should be
held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
- People covered by the
GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also
request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted,
restricted, or moved to another organization.
Why is GDPR important?
GDPR adds some
new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals' personal
data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by
increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these
facts it's simply the right thing to do. At Athan & Prayer Times, Qibla we
strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have
solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the requirements
of this new regulation.
Individual Data Subject's Rights - Data Access,
Portability and Deletion
We are
committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of
GDPR. Athan & Prayer Times, Qibla processes or stores all personal data in
fully vetted, DPA compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and personal
data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we
dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy,
but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.
We are aware
that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them
with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data. We got
you! We've been set up as self service from the start and have always given you
access to your data and your customers data. Our customer support team is here
for you to answer any questions you might have about working with the API.
