Data Protection in the European Union:
In the digital era, protecting personal data is more important than ever. In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets out the rules that companies must follow to ensure the privacy and security of information. From names and emails to biometric data, the GDPR regulates how this data should be treated, ensuring that people maintain control over their personal information.
But how can companies comply with these regulations without overcomplicating things? Here we tell you the keys to doing so and how solutions like Countify make this process easier.
Legitimate data collection
Personal data can only be collected if there is a legal basis. This can include the user`s explicit consent, a contract or a legitimate interest. In this sense, Countify is designed to avoid any legal conflict: its system is limited to counting the number of people present in a space, without identifying them or collecting sensitive information. This means that no personal data of any kind is handled.
Transparency
Informing users about what data is collected, for what purpose, and how it is managed. In the case of Countify, transparency is key. Its operation is clear and detailed in an accessible privacy policy, which specifies that only statistical and completely anonymous data is collected.
Data Minimization
One of the central principles of the GDPR is to collect only the data strictly necessary to fulfill the objective. Countify perfectly complies with this requirement by collecting only one metric: the number of people present in a space.
Security
The GDPR requires companies to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss or destruction. To ensure security, Countify incorporates advanced measures such as data encryption and secure storage on servers located in the European Union. In addition, although it does not capture identifying data, it offers additional options such as image blurring to ensure maximum privacy.
User Rights
The GDPR grants users rights such as accessing, correcting or deleting their personal data. Although Countify does not collect identifying information, if any indirect data is generated, the system is prepared to manage it according to the rights stipulated in the regulations.
GDPR compliance is not only a legal obligation, but an opportunity to reinforce user trust and ensure data security.
If you are looking to manage occupancy safely, privately and without legal concerns, Countify is the ideal tool. Find out more about how we can help you transform your space management.
