GDPR Compliance for Personal / Free Accounts
Hi, I work with various charities in the UK who often use free Dropbox accounts to share files for boards of trustees, teams etc. There is some confusion as to whether the GDPR compliance steps ...
- Hi Tom
As somebody in the UK the biggest thing you need to make sure is that the end users whos data is being stored is aware of it being stored AND that it is stored outside of the EU. Same goes if they email things in they need to know where those email servers are (e.g. Office365 = USA etc.).
you would have to ask, I have a lifetime deal via appsumo.
Just been on pClouds live chat and this is their response:-
"With its IaaS business model, pCloud provides storage infrastructure for your files, but does not process the information, contained in them. In other words, you may store your data subjects' personal information in pCloud for Business, but we in no way index, access or use this information in its plain form. Therefore, you don't need a DPA between your organization and pCloud AG."
I'm not sure they truely understand GDPR.
They have however escalated my query to management.
We have on one the side cloud services, that offer DPA, where I assume that European cloud services do, and I am already checking out the German market. On the other hand are we, who want to store personal information in the cloud, as far as I understand still obliged to encode our files. It isn't all that easy with responsibilty and cloud.
But, yes, we need a DPA, and yes, I would personally not set on it, that all companys outside GDPR territory have a full grasp of the subject when we ask in.
