  • Erasure request refusal

    Hello, I have contacted a company that manages a messaging app I used in the past to request information about exercising my right to erasure (Article 17(1) GDPR), since they say they're GDPR compliant. In particular, my question to them was about having my messages/posts (private and public) deleted when they close my account. They say they would refuse to delete these messages, since they argue that would interfere with other users' right to free expression and information (Article 17(3)(a)), as there would be gaps in the conversations potentially leading to misinterpretations or the lack of important context. My questions to you are: 1. are the messages and posts I sent through the app considered personal data under GDPR to the extent that the app would have to delete them under request? 2. is the exception in Article 17(3)(a) a valid ground for refusing this request in this case? Thank you very much for your attention.

  • Appointing a representative

    I am the sole proprietor of a US company (data controller) providing freelance translation services to customers in a few EU States. I was informed by a GDPR representative company that I needn't appoint a representative. However, as I understand it, if there is a breach involving the data of a data subject located in the EU, I must contact the supervisory authority. Must I contact the authority only in the state where the breach occured, or do I have to contact every member state in which I operate?
  • Appendix 1 – List of Legal, Regulatory, Contractual and Other Requirements

    As SaaS provider located in Europe, the main regulation we have to comply with is GDPR. In the table listing all requirements, does it mean that : 1) I have to add a specific line based on our customers locations or is it based on our SaaS infrastructure location(s) ? 2) I have to add a specific line per GDPR topic (like each specific users' right) ? If this is the case, I suppose your GDPR toolkit would help me fill in this document ?

  • Questions for DPIA

If not, what is the criteria to distinguish between the breaches we need and do not need to report? Is this covered in some of the documents in your GDPR Toolkit?
  • Questions for GDPR

    I'm wondering if you could help me out with a couple of questions related to GDPR and controllers? Our company has clients who have personal data that our system collects from their employees and visitors to their premises. The clients have access to the data that our system collects. We (the company) determine the why and how data is collected, however the clients can see the data and even create reports from the personal data. Is this considered a controller to controller relationship, or would it be a controller to processor relationship? (i.e. is the client a controller because they are collecting personal data from employees and visitors?) A second question we have is related to standard contractual clauses. Personal data that our clients collect is transferred to our servers located in Canada. Are SCCs required for the transfer of personal data from the EU/EEA to us for processing?
