Personal Data Protection and GDPR

We take the protection of user's personal data seriously by rigorously apply the principles of the GDPR to all our users data, no matter where you are based.

The GDPR is not the only personal data protection law of its kind, but is considered a 'gold standard' due to its wide scope of applicability and the severity of penalties for non-compliance.

 

What is GDPR?

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a European Union Regulation that establishes a framework for handling and protecting the personal data of EU citizens, and defines the obligations on organisations who collect or process personal data.

 

What data does this affect in Simana?

The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.

Personal data stored by Simana include things like user's names, work email addresses and job role. These data are required to create and maintain user accounts.

Why GDPR?

We apply the same rigorous approach to data protection for all our customers and users, even if they are based outside of the EU. The GDPR is not the only law of its kind, but is considered a gold standard due to its wide scope of applicability and the severity of penalties for non-compliance.
