GDPR Policy
At MarketEase Technologies, we prioritize the protection of personal data and are fully committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This GDPR Compliance page provides an in-depth overview of our approach to data protection, the rights of individuals, and how we handle personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
1. Understanding GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that took effect on May 25, 2018. Its primary purpose is to enhance privacy rights and protect the personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU). GDPR applies to organizations that process personal data of EU residents, regardless of the organization's location or size.
2. Our Role as a Data Processor
At MarketEase Technologies, we act as a data processor when we collect, process, and store personal data on behalf of our clients. As a data processor, we understand the critical importance of safeguarding this data and ensuring its confidentiality. We adhere to strict protocols and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information.
3. Lawful Basis for Data Processing
Under GDPR, organizations must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. MarketEase Technologies ensures that we have a valid legal basis before processing personal data. The lawful basis may include obtaining the individual's consent, fulfilling a contract, complying with legal obligations, protecting vital interests, performing a task in the public interest, or pursuing legitimate interests, provided they do not override the individual's rights and freedoms.
​
4. Data Collection and Use
We collect personal data through various channels, such as our website, email communications, and LinkedIn outreach. The types of data we collect may include names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company information. This information is collected for the purpose of providing our services and generating leads for our clients. We only collect data that is necessary and relevant to achieve these objectives.
​
When collecting personal data, we strive to provide individuals with transparent information about the purpose of data collection, the lawful basis for processing, and any other relevant details. Our privacy policy outlines the specific data we collect, how we use it, and the rights individuals have regarding their data.
​
5. Individual Rights
GDPR grants individuals specific rights concerning their personal data. MarketEase Technologies recognizes and respects these rights, and we are committed to upholding them. Individuals have the right to:
-
Access their personal data: Individuals can request information about the personal data we hold about them and how we process it.
-
Rectify inaccuracies: Individuals have the right to request corrections to their personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
-
Erase personal data: Individuals can request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected or when consent is withdrawn.
-
Restrict processing: Individuals can request limitations on the processing of their personal data, subject to certain conditions.
-
Data portability: Individuals can request the transfer of their personal data to another organization, or to themselves, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
-
Object to processing: Individuals can object to the processing of their personal data, including for direct marketing purposes.
-
Automated decision-making: Individuals have the right to know if decisions that significantly affect them are made solely based on automated processing and to request human intervention.
MarketEase Technologies takes these rights seriously and will respond promptly and appropriately to any requests made by individuals to exercise their rights.
6. Data Security Measures
Data security is a top priority at MarketEase Technologies. We have implemented stringent security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Our security measures include encryption, secure data storage, access controls, regular backups, and staff training on data protection best practices. We continuously monitor and assess our security measures to ensure they are effective and up to date.
​
7. Data Retention and Deletion
MarketEase Technologies retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws and regulations. When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it to ensure it cannot be linked back to individuals.
Our retention periods are based on various factors, including the type of data collected, the purpose of processing, legal obligations, and business needs. We conduct regular reviews to ensure that personal data is not retained for longer than necessary.
​
8. Data Sharing and Transfers
MarketEase Technologies may share personal data with third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services. These providers are carefully selected, and we have stringent agreements in place to ensure they meet GDPR compliance standards and provide adequate protection for personal data.
​
9. Data Protection Officer
To ensure effective data protection practices and compliance with GDPR, MarketEase Technologies has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO is responsible for overseeing data protection efforts, advising on GDPR compliance, and acting as a point of contact for individuals and supervisory authorities. Our DPO can be contacted at vignesh@marketeasetech.com.
