Data Protection
Data Protection
Notud provides software globally, including to European Union (EU) organisations and residents. The EU has a specific set of regulations regarding protecting the data of its citizens called the General Data Protection Regulation or ‘GDPR’. While Notud always maintains a high level of data protection in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP), we have further addressed our specific GDPR compliance. The GDPR’s requirements apply to EU residents’ personal data and anyone involved with Notud who processes that information. The GDPR has key principles and data subject rights which are addressed in our Data Processing Addendum (download), and it outlines Notud’s commitment to meeting and being accountable to these.
This information helps demonstrate our organisation’s priority regarding data protection, privacy and security compliance and forms part of our wider commitment to accountability. It helps simplify complex obligations we have to regulations and protocols like the Australian Privacy Act and EU’s GDPR and provides the basis for our staff training and specific compliance practices.
