    Business value

    Nearly every company is processing and working with personal data on a regular basis. Hence it is critical for organizations to protect the privacy and personal data of their customers and to comply with Data Protection Regulations such as GDPR.

    The General Data Protection Regulation is a European Union law that was implemented May 25, 2018, and requires organizations to safeguard personal data and uphold the privacy rights of anyone in EU territory. The regulation includes seven principles of data protection that must be implemented and eight privacy rights that must be facilitated. It also empowers member state-level data protection authorities to enforce the GDPR with sanctions and fines. The GDPR replaced the 1995 Data Protection Directive, which created a country-by-country patchwork of data protection laws. The GDPR, passed in European Parliament by overwhelming majority, unifies the EU under a single data protection regime. 

    Any organization that processes the personal data of people in the EU must comply with the GDPR. “Processing” is a broad term that covers just about anything you can do with data: collection, storage, transmission, analysis, etc. “Personal data” is any information that relates to a person, such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, eye color, political affiliation, and so on. Even if an organization is not connected to the EU itself, if it processes the personal data of people in the EU (via tracking on its website, for instance), it must comply. The GDPR is also not limited to for-profit companies. 

    With the introduction of the GDPR, the European Union introduced one of the toughest privacies and security law in the world. Though it was drafted and passed in Europe, it imposes obligations onto organizations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the European Union. Dynamics Data Protection supports also acts like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and New York SHIELD Act (NYSA), hence we rebranded the solution name.

    Dynamics Data Protection enables Data Protection Officers to store and manage Data Subjects Consents, Data Policies, Data Processing Contracts and Data Processing Activities for Contacts, Leads and Accounts. Data Protection Officers have the ability to anonymize Leads and Contacts, resulting in all active consents from a Lead or Contact being cancelled and all related data being anonymized according to the setup definition of anonymization.
