GDPR TEAM Responsibilities:
Manage the sco-privacy@syensqo.com mailbox - where we receive Requests of EOR (Exercise of Rights) as well as companies contacts that are incorrectly sent to us, spam, invoices, etc;- Record the emails received on the mailbox in the file Privacy Mailbox - Daily Report;
- Improve the procedure;
- Manage the GDPR Documentation in Wiki/ Confluence;
- Answer to the employees about GDPR Questions - analysis and follow up with the DPPO team (Team responsible for the reply).
- Treat all EOR requests - do the first analysis, start the procedure, finalise it and register it on Adequacy tool
- Revise annually existing information in Google Drive as well as access to it.
Daily Task - Privacy Mailbox:
This is a daily task that allows us to check on time if any request for EOR was sent to us and also to keep the box clean of any other type of requests that generate clutter.
EOR requests have a deadline on 30 days to be treated so we need to be on top of them.
All emails should be replied just as a form of being polite with guidelines for the correct way and also to inform that this mailbox is not for those kind of issues.
Hopefully this will reduce the “garbage” that enters daily on Privacy box.
There’s only no need to reply to emails like newsletters and advertising, these ones can be deleted (in any case they also need to be included on the report).
When replied and registered on the report the emails can be deleted, no need to archive. The ones that we archive are only GDPR related.
Response models:
To facilitate and speed up the taks, it was created two template replies.
For emails related to other issues than EOR, select Generic email reply which covers emails such as products information, suppliers presentations, CVs, SDS requests and accounting related issues.
For Exercise of Rights emails, the first action is to send a confirmation email - EOR First Ack - that will request more information to the requester in case it’s not provided on their first emails - info like first name, last name, birth date and the nature of the relationship they have with Solvay.
In case this information is provided, select EOR ack reply. Edit the template only to select which option was requested - Erase, modification, access...
For other emails that do not match with these instructions you can check and contact DPPO Responsible member.
Daily report:
When entering the box we need also to open the google sheet - Privacy Mailbox - Daily Report
On the file you must insert the number of emails received each day of the month. This was a procedure that was initially done to provide detailed information to the GDPR team but nowadays is just to provide numbers to our Data leaders
At the first day of each month we will need to insert the total number on file (meter link) and create a new tab for the next month.
GDPR- General Data Protection Regulation:
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the two areas.
GDPRs primary aim:
- To give individuals (data subjects) control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
The regulation contains
- Provisions and requirements related to the processing of personal data of individuals who are located in the EEA, and applies to any enterprise that is processing the personal information of individuals inside the EEA, regardless of its location or the data subjects' citizenship or residence.
The responsibility of Data Controllers is
- to design information systems with privacy in mind, so that the datasets are not publicly available by default and cannot be used to identify a subject.
No personal data may be processed
- unless it’s done under one of the six lawful bases specified by the regulation (consent, contract, public task, vital interest, legitimate interest or legal requirement). When the processing is based on consent the data subject has the right to revoke it at any time.
GDPR - Exercise of Rights:
Individuals may contact your company/organization to exercise their rights under the GDPR (rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, etc.). Where personal data is processed by electronic means, your company/organization should provide means for requests to be made electronically. Your company/organization must reply to their request without undue delay, and in principle within 1 month of the receipt of the request.
It can ask them for additional information in order to confirm the identity of the person making the request.
If your company/organization rejects the request then it has to inform the person of the reasons for doing so and of their right to file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority and to seek a judicial remedy.
Dealing with requests of individuals should be carried out free of charge. Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, you may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act.
