GDPR and Timecounts.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a European Union regulation designed to improve data security and privacy for EU citizens and give users greater control over their personal data. At Timecounts, GDPR compliance is a top priority. We’re committed to ensuring transparency, security, and privacy for all users in the EU or elsewhere.
What Does GDPR Mean for Me?
For Organizations: GDPR means greater transparency on how personal data is processed. You’ll have clearer insight into data handling and user rights.
For Users/Volunteers: GDPR ensures your personal data is more secure, and you now have more control over how your data is used.
Your rights under GDPR.
GDPR grants users several important rights over their personal data. These include:
The Right of Access: Request information about the personal data we hold.
The Right to Rectification: Update incorrect or incomplete data.
The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request deletion of your personal data.
The Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
The Right to Object: Object to how your data is processed.
