Clarity Wave / Teamcredible’s
GDPR Commitment

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been a significant piece of the privacy landscape since 2018, and Site Opps, Inc. (Clarity Wave / Teamcredible) is here to support you in meeting its requirements.

What Is GDPR?

GDPR is setting the standard for how organizations collect, use, and protect EU citizens’ personal information. With the growing concern for data safety, this law is designed to foster public confidence in data privacy.

GDPR Implications For Your Organization

Whether or not your organization is based in the EU, all businesses that control or process personal information of EU citizens must do so in accordance with GDPR requirements.

As an employer, this means that you are responsible for ensuring that the personal information of your EU citizen employees is processed in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Because of this, you are also responsible for ensuring that any workplace service providers that you use will process the personal information of your EU citizen employees in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Clarity Wave / Teamcredible’s Commitment of Support Towards Your Organization’s GDPR Compliance

Clarity Wave / Teamcredible is committed to supporting you in ensuring that your use of our workplace tool meets GDPR requirements.

Here are some of the measures that Clarity Wave / Teamcredible has put in place to reflect that commitment:

  1. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible’s Contractual Terms Reflect GDPR Requirements
    Clarity Wave / Teamcredible has prepared a Data Processing Addendum that contains the GDPR contractual requirements. Where applicable, this Data Processing Addendum is incorporated into our Terms of Service, available at https://www.claritywave.com/terms-of-service/. Our contractual commitments relevant to GDPR are that:
    • Clarity Wave / Teamcredible will be transparent and never use your employees’ personal information other than as instructed by you,
    • Clarity Wave / Teamcredible will maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your employees’ personal information,
    • Clarity Wave / Teamcredible will assist you with requests from your employees regarding their personal information that is processed using our services.
  2. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible will Continue to improve its security infrastructures

  3. For more details regarding Clarity Wave / Teamcredible’s commitment to invest in its security infrastructures, we invite you to read our Data Processing Addendum.
  4. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible Complies With GDPR International Data Transfer Mechanisms
    GDPR does not require personal information of EU citizens to be stored in the EU. GDPR does, however, require transfers of EU citizens’ personal information outside of the EU to comply with certain international data transfer standards. One of these standards is that prior to transferring an EU citizen’s personal information to a third country, the European Commission must have decided that the third country ensures an adequate level of protection. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible is committed to ensuring that all transfers of your employees’ personal information are and will be in compliance with the required international data transfer standards. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible is located in the US and is subject to US privacy laws.
    As your data processor, Clarity Wave / Teamcredible transfers your employees’ personal information to only two third-party subprocessors : our data center provider and our database service management provider. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible has Standard Contractual Clauses in place with each of its sub processors with whom we work continuously to meet privacy and security standards and improve technical and organizational safeguards.
  5. Clarity Wave / Teamcredible’s Products Are Designed to Help You Meet Your GDPR Requirements
    Clarity Wave / Teamcredible is committed to making every effort to build product features that help you meet your GDPR requirements.Clarity Wave / Teamcredible ensures that you can meet the GDPR data portability requirements by providing, among others, features that permit you to export employees’ personal information.

Clarity Wave / Teamcredible is here for you. Please contact us at https://www.claritywave.com/contact/  if you have any GDPR-specific questions.
