GDPR Policy

Effective date: 2022-07-21

EXCELAPPS IT SOLUTIONS LTD hereinafter referred to as “EXCELAPPS” in this policy.

GDPR Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new legal framework set up by the European Union in April 2016 to build upon existing data protection legislation. GDPR came into effect on 25th May 2018, and has introduced a range of fresh guidelines spelling out the rights of consumers and dictating how companies can store and share information.

As a hugely significant change to the global business landscape, it is critical that EXCELAPPS embraces all aspects of GDPR to maintain full compliance.

Our obligations for GDPR compliance

Here at EXCELAPPS, we fully appreciate and support the European Union’s focus on expanding upon digital rights. As a company, we strongly believe in the need for greater business transparency and accountability concerning the collection and handling of personal data.

That is why EXCELAPPS is a firm advocate of GDPR and its many implications. These include among many other aspects:

  • The Right to Object to Processing
  • The Right to Be Forgotten
  • The Right to Data Portability
  • The Right to Withdraw Consent

As part of our commitment to GDPR and the rights of our customers and clients, EXCELAPPS vows to ensure our organisation considers and actions all necessary changes surrounding data processing, data storage and the disposal of personal data.

This includes a commitment to fully fulfil Breach Disclosure Requirements by notifying authorities and concerned individuals of any compromise within 72 hours. Moreover, as part of our GDPR strategy, EXCELAPPS will complete impact assessments wherever possible, to identify and deliver the best service possible, as well as to extend our customers a guarantee that data is being kept secure.

Furthermore, we pledge to uphold the following key values and responsibilities:
