At RAM Tracking, we worked hard to prepare for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure we fulfil our obligations and maintain transparency about customer data and how we use it.
What is GDPR?
The GDPR is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It replaced existing EU law to strengthen the protection of "personal data" and individual rights. It's a single set of rules governing the processing and monitoring of EU data.
Does GDPR Affect Me?
Yes, most likely. If you hold or process data of any person in the EU, GDPR applies to you, whether you're based in the EU or not.
How RAM Tracking Prepared for GDPR
Our teams worked extensively to ensure GDPR compliance. This involved updating our processes to meet legal obligations while continuing to serve customers effectively.
Key Compliance Measures We Implemented:
Data Protection Officer - We appointed a dedicated Data Protection Officer to oversee and advise on our data management practices. You can contact our support team for any data protection queries.
Vendor Coordination - We reviewed all our vendors to understand their GDPR positions and signed Data Processing Agreements with them to ensure compliance throughout our supply chain.
Process Improvements - We updated our internal processes, policies, and procedures to align with GDPR requirements and ensure ongoing compliance.
