Talk to an expert icon-arrow Frequently asked questions What does GDPR stand for? GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR.) It is a European Union (EU) regulation concerning the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) of EU citizens. Why is GDPR compliance important? GDPR compliance is crucial for any organization handling personal data. Compliance software helps in selecting key features and managing personal data effectively. It ensures that companies adhere to GDPR requirements, manage consent, automate data audits, and handle data breach notifications efficiently. Does my organization need an EU Representative? You need an EU Data Representative if you process large amounts of data from EU data subjects OR if you process special categories of data and you don’t have an office in the EU. Your EU Representative can be subject to enforcement proceedings in the event of non-compliance with the GDPR. Who is Thoropass's preferred EU Representative?

What is the role of a data protection officer (DPO) and what are their responsibilities? The Data Protection Officer (DPO) plays a crucial role in ensuring that an organization handles personal data—from staff, customers, and providers to any other individuals— in line with applicable data protection regulations. Within EU institutions and bodies, Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 mandates the appointment of a DPO. Similarly, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 requires certain organizations within EU member states to appoint a DPO. The DPO’s responsibilities are to ensure that data protection regulations are followed in close cooperation with the relevant data protection authority, such as the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) for EU institutions. Specifically, the DPO must: Keep both data controllers and subjects informed about their rights, obligations, and responsibilities concerning data protection, raising awareness throughout the organization. Provide guidance and recommendations on interpreting and applying data protection rules within the institution. Maintain a register of data processing activities within the organization and notify the EDPS of any operations that present specific risks, known as prior checks. Ensure that the institution remains compliant with data protection regulations and support its accountability efforts. Address any queries or complaints, whether requested by the institution, a data controller, other individuals, or on the DPO’s initiative.
