In the event of a data breach, our organization follows a comprehensive incident response plan to ensure swift and effective handling of the situation. The procedures include immediate containment and assessment of the breach to understand its scope and impact. Upon identifying a breach, we promptly secure our systems to prevent further unauthorized access. We conduct a thorough investigation to determine the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the potential risk to data subjects.
Notification is a critical component of our incident response. Within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, we notify the relevant supervisory authority in accordance with Article 33 of the GDPR, providing detailed information about the breach, its consequences, and the measures taken to mitigate the effects. If the breach poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we also inform the affected data subjects without undue delay, as stipulated by Article 34 of the GDPR. The notification includes clear and specific details on the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, and the measures we have taken or will take to address the breach and protect the individuals involved.
Our organization ensures that any transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Union (EU) is conducted in full compliance with GDPR requirements to protect the privacy and rights of data subjects. We utilize several transfer mechanisms to safeguard data during international transfers, including Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Binding Corporate Rules are internal policies adhered to by our multinational organization, approved by European data protection authorities, that ensure adequate protection of personal data transferred outside the EU. These rules establish a framework for data protection compliance across all our global operations, ensuring consistent application of GDPR principles.
Standard Contractual Clauses, provided by the European Commission, are contractual commitments that bind the parties involved in the data transfer to comply with specific data protection obligations. By incorporating SCCs into our data transfer agreements with third-party service providers and partners, we ensure that any personal data leaving the EU is afforded the same level of protection as within the EU. Additionally, we continuously monitor the legal landscape and adapt our practices to comply with any new regulations or guidelines issued by data protection authorities. This proactive approach ensures that our international data transfers remain secure and compliant, safeguarding the privacy and rights of our data subjects at all times.
