GDPR Policy
ZAP is committed to support the privacy rights of ZAP customers and we have taken many measures towards full compliance of GDPR.
GDPR means the European Union General Data Protection Regulations (EU Regulations 2016/679), or the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulations created by the UK Data Protection Act 2018 on the UK’s exit from the European Union.
This includes:
- An update of our terms of service
- The introduction of a Data Protection Addendum (DPA), as required by the GDPR
- Various cookie protections and opt-out functionality on our website
- Further internal and third-party security audits of our processes, Azure-based platform and application
ZAP’s role in GDPR Compliance
ZAP acts as a Data Processor within the realm of GDPR compliance. ZAP is responsible for safeguarding the data of partners or customers’ users as it flows through our services.
Customer’s role in GDPR Compliance
As a ZAP customer (or partner), you are a Data Controller within the GDPR, ZAP is the Data Processor. This means that throughout the time of your subscription to our services, you retain ownership of and control of your Customer or User data. You will want to pay attention to the following non-exhaustive list of items:
- Perform your own research, audit, internal training and strategy steps within your company to ensure you understand GDPR and how it applies to your business
- Ensure your Terms and Privacy policies are up to date
- If you are an organization located in the EU, and/or need to be GDPR compliant, you may request to sign our EU Data Protection Agreement (DPA)
- Be mindful of the amount of personal data that may be processed in a ZAP model and limit it as much as possible.
- Also ensure that users’ consent is handled appropriately.
What is a Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”)?
This is an agreement that ZAP offers, that governs the relationship between the Customer (acting as a data controller) and ZAP (acting as a data processor). The DPA facilitates ZAP’s customers’ compliance with their obligations under the GDPR. Our DPA contains data transfer frameworks to ensure that our customers can lawfully transfer personal data to ZAP outside of the European Union by relying on one of these mechanisms: Binding Corporate Rules, or Standard Contractual Clauses.
