GDPR – SUPRAVOX ON THE ROAD TO COMPLIANCE

GDPR : General Data Protection Regulation.

Protecting customer data remains a top priority for Supravox. Find out how Supravox works to comply with the GDPR.

Supravox is a French company with customers all over the world. As such, the protection of the personal data of our customers and employees is one of our priorities. In 2016, the European Union approved a new data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to all organizations that collect the personal data of EU citizens. Since then, Supravox has been committed to being GDPR compliant. At Supravox, we know that proper implementation of this new regulation requires a cross-functional approach within our organization. To carry out this compliance initiative, we have therefore mobilized employees from several of our divisions : Products, Information Security, Legal, Compliance and IT. The cross-functional team thus created works closely with the various people involved in each of the functional units concerned to, on the one hand, examine all the Products, Operations and Suppliers impacted by the GDPR and, on the other hand, to ensure that the adequate level of compliance is achieved both enterprise-wide and system-wide.

Additionally, we are also working with external consultants and attorneys to ensure that Supravox meets the timelines for this project and that our efforts capture the required level of compliance. Based on the work done to date, we expect to be in compliance with GDPR requirements by July 15, 2018.

 

How is Supravox preparing for the GDPR ?

We conduct continuous compliance review and resulting actions leverage our existing investments in privacy, security, and operational processes necessary to meet the requirements of GDPR and other applicable regulations. As a company that processes data, Supravox is aware of its obligation to help its customers prepare for the change represented by the GDPR. We therefore currently provide our customers with several guarantees regarding the use of their personal data, in particular in terms of :

  - Personal Data Processing Practices : Each of our online applications or software involves the collection, use, storage and disposal of personal data on a different level. We have carefully and scrupulously reviewed the personal data collection practices of each of these applications, we have documented the different sources of data and we have implemented automation measures to ensure that we are in compliance with the GDPR.

 - Visibility and Transparency : One of the important aspects of GDPR is how personal data is used. Supravox is a company required to process data exclusively internally for its communication and promotion. In this context, our role is to provide our direct or indirect customers with one or more accesses from which they can not only manage but also effectively protect their personal data. We have therefore developed automated measures to optimize Supravox products without compromising performance, in order to be able to guarantee transparency to our customers.

 - Improved data integrity and security : Supravox is aware of its duty to ensure the confidentiality and security of its customers' data. In this regard, we maintain both technical and organizational security practices and measures to protect the confidentiality, security, availability and integrity of the data of all our customers. We also streamline processes by implementing IT policies and procedures that support end-to-end data security.

- Portability and transferability of data : At Supravox, we believe that each end user should have the possibility of knowing, receiving, erasing or transferring all of their personal data. In this context, we are working on technical improvements that will support these capabilities.

 

Agreements on the processing of (personal) data : We have used important agreements on the processing of personal data in the past and are in the process of revising them to meet the requirements of the GDPR.
