What you need to know about using Varify.io®.

Information on the GDPR

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) was adopted by the European Parliament in April 2016. It officially came into force on May 25, 2018 and applies to all companies - without exception - that use personal data of European citizens.

We at Varify.io® take this regulation very seriously and have therefore decided to completely refrain from storing user data when using the landing page tool.

 

Disclaimer: Varify.io® does not provide legal assistance regarding the GDPR. We would like to show how Varify.io® complies with the regulations of the GDPR.

Data collection and processing

The GDPR stipulates that you may only collect visitor data if the visitor has expressly consented to this. This also means that customers and visitors must be informed about your data protection policy. You may only process personal data with the express permission of the user.

Varify.io® provides created website variants without opt-in, as no data is processed.

Data transfer outside the EU

Companies that manage their data centrally but are present on several continents do not follow the rules of the GDPR. The same applies to German companies that operate servers outside the EU. The GDPR prohibits the transfer of personal data of website visitors from the EU.

Varify.io@ does not send data outside the EU. Location of the cloud is within the EU

The obligation to report data theft and security problems

The GDPR provides for a period of 72 hours during which the competent authorities must be notified. Past cases of well-known corporations show that this period was not always adhered to. You also have to inform the affected users as soon as possible, but there is no time limit for this. Of course, it is essential for the trust of your customers to do this as soon as possible.

In the event of data or security problems, Varify.io® would be provided by the Security & IT Management specialist, the HiSolutions AG be supported.

User rights

A person whose data you have collected has the right to have it completely deleted. This must also be done immediately. 

In addition, the individual has the right to have companies send the entirety of a user's data, if the user so desires, in an easily accessible and unencrypted format.

Since Varify.io® does not store any data, your users do not need to exercise their right.
