GDPR requires you to give people access to their personal information when they request it. You must be able to respond to all requests within 30 days of the request date.

Companies must be ready to collect and hand over personal data securely to data subjects (the inquirer), and they must keep a log of their activities to demonstrate a secure and prompt response to all received data requests.

Connectid Business can help you track and verify received data requests, collect data from your systems quickly, and deliver data securely; while automatically logging all of the above for audit purposes.

Some of the GDPR rules that Connectid Business can help you comply with are:

Exercise of the data subject’s rights (Article 12)
Right to be informed (Articles 13, 14)
Right of access (Article 15)
Right of rectification (Article 16)
Right of deletion (‘right to be forgotten’) (Article 17)
Right to limit treatment (Article 18)
Right to data portability (Article 20)
Right to object (Article 21)

The Request Portal lets people see the types of information you have collected about them and submit a data request securely if they choose.

Instead of requesting all of their data (and increasing your company’s workload), the portal allows them to submit very specific requests for the exact information they are most interested in.

Privacy rules give people the right to submit requests for data access via email, phone, mail, in person on social media; and in fact any way they choose. However, verifying and registering all of these requests can create a bureaucratic nightmare for your business.

By offering the Request Portal in your privacy policy, you give people a standard way to submit requests. Requests submitted through the portal come to you in a structured way and are already verified, logged and organized by due date.

Connectid Business generates a selection of data forms based on your type of business (sector profile).

The forms are configured to match the available data categories on your Request Portal with pre-built fields for fast data entry.

You can further configure and customize the forms by adding and editing fields in Settings> Templates.

Connectid Business verifies applicants with SMS and email verification so that your company knows that the person is who he / she claims to be.

Require a check of another person for each request before sending a person’s data back to them by going to Settings> Roles. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and turn on approvals to require 4-eye approval.

All data sent to requesters is protected with Secure 2048-bit encryption.

Prebuilt and custom APIs automatically collect data from your internal systems to speed up the response process.

All companies need a system to comply with the rules of privacy and handling of personal data. Connectid Business was designed for that purpose.
