GDPR Compliance

GDPR Compliance

At Bench Vendors, we are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our users. As part of our commitment, we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a comprehensive data protection law in the European Union that came into effect on May 25, 2018. This regulation aims to give individuals greater control over their personal data and to unify data protection laws across Europe.

What is GDPR?

The GDPR sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU). It applies to any organization that processes the personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the organization is located. Key principles of GDPR include:

  • Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.
  • Purpose Limitation: Personal data must be collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
  • Data Minimization: Only the data necessary for the purposes of processing should be collected.
  • Accuracy: Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date.
  • Storage Limitation: Personal data must be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
  • Integrity and Confidentiality: Personal data must be processed securely to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing, loss, destruction, or damage.
  • Accountability: Organizations are responsible for demonstrating compliance with GDPR principles.
