The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the cornerstone for regulating the processing of personal data of European Union (EU) citizens. At SmartPlayAPKs, we stand behind the fundamental purpose of GDPR — empowering citizens with control over their personal data. Our products are perfectly aligned with the EU’s stringent privacy policy standards.
Navigating the Comprehensive Framework of the GDPR
The GDPR is comprised of 11 chapters containing nearly 100 articles that outline the principles and regulations surrounding the processing of personal data. Here are some key highlights of this regulatory landscape:
European Union – General Data Protection Regulation
Article 5: Principles for the Processing of Personal Data
SmartplayApks assumes the role of a zealous custodian of personal data, using customer information exclusively for the provision of educational services. We categorically state that this data is not sold or used for marketing endeavors.
Article 17: Right to be Forgotten
In compliance with the GDPR, schools have the authority to remove users from SmartplayApks at any time.
Additionally, individual users retain the autonomy to delete their data from Smartplay, and we promptly erase the data of schools that cease using our services.
Article 32: Processing Security
Smart Play prioritizes the secure storage of sensitive personal information. Our team members adhere to contractual confidentiality agreements and our data security measures include internal policies, data management procedures, access restrictions to personal data, encryption protocols (for data at rest and in transmission), system monitoring, contingency plans and strict controls against unauthorized individuals accessing personal information during data transmission.
Other GDPR compliance highlights
Article 33: Notification of personal data breach to the Supervisory Authority
In compliance with the GDPR, Smart Play Apk immediately notifies the supervisory authority within the stipulated period of 72 hours after discovering any personal data breach. In the event of such a breach, SmartPlay App initiates immediate notification to customers, conducts thorough investigations, and promptly restores the integrity of the affected data systems. We fully cooperate and provide the necessary reports to those affected by the breach.
Article 35: Impact Assessment
SmartplayApks diligently performs various security assessments of our systems. These security tests occur periodically, some conducted annually, others more frequently, and certain assessments are conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure the continued robustness of our security protocols.
Article 37: Appointment of a Data Protection Officer
SmartplayApks has a designated Data Protection Officer who is qualified to perform security controls and influence product development, reinforcing our commitment to protecting your data.
Article 44: General Principle of Transmission
To protect sovereignty and data residency within the European Union, the Regulation gives the European Commission the power to decide on the adequacy of third countries or territories that receive transmitted data. With this in mind, SmartplayApks assigns customers in the EU or the UK to an EU data center located in Frankfurt, Germany. This center efficiently manages all of Smartplay’s necessary applications and data servers, ensuring that servers outside of this designated space are not used for data storage or service provision to customers in the EU or the UK.
At SmartplayApks, we have adopted and adhered to the robust framework provided by the GDPR, prioritizing the privacy and security of your data. Our commitment is unwavering and we aim to provide a transparent and trustworthy environment for our users, in compliance with these regulations.
