Our customers\u2019 data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What is Personal data?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person\u2019s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used for that<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data.

It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it\u2019s simply the right thing to do. At Argot we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Individual Data Subject\u2019s Rights \u2013 Data Access, Portability and Deletion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are committed to helping our customers meet the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. Argot processes or stores all personal data in fully vetted, DPA compliant vendors. We do store all conversation and personal data for up to 6 years unless your account is deleted. In which case, we dispose of all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but we will not hold it longer than 60 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are aware that if you are working with EU customers, you need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and remove personal data.
