Yes, all our directories are 100% GDPR-compliant. With great data comes great responsibility – responsibility to use it wisely and with respect to privacy laws. Our organization is audited annually by the DDMA (Data Driven Marketing Association).
Since the entry of the GDPR in Europe, there is a lot of change in terms of data editing and updating of data. In this matter, all our data sources are GDPR-compliant.
BoldData uses legitimate interest as the legal ground for our data processing. We always secure this by performing a balancing assessment that verifies and balances our interest in processing the data versus the individual’s right to privacy. In general terms, this is what the balancing assessment consists of:
- A description of BoldData’s legitimate interest and an evaluation if the data processing is necessary and proportional for the purpose we have.
- The impact on the individuals and if they can reasonably expect what will happen to their data, as well as assessing how sensitive the data is, how much data is used, and how it is processed.
- Additional safeguards we have put in place which could limit the impact on the individuals, such as data minimization, privacy-enhancing technologies, increased transparency, the right to opt-out, and data portability.
The record of the balancing assessment is saved so that we can demonstrate the considerations we have made. When doing the balancing assessment, we require that all requirements for the individuals’ rights are fulfilled. We also undertake technical and organizational measures to secure individuals’ data.
