Privacy Policy
GDPR
What it means for you
You may already have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will be implemented as new EU law 25th May 2018. GDPR is a European Union regulation creating obligations for companies regarding handling, storage and protection of personal data. The regulation enhances your individual rights regarding your personal data and creates accountability for companies.
How is Sofil logistics handling this?
Sofil logistics Limited is handling personal data as before, but with an enhanced focus on what data we store and who it can be shared with. Amongst others, we are updating the data privacy policies and processes for all relevant systems. We want to make sure that personal data is stored in a lawful, minimal, purposeful and secure way.
Privacy and Data Security
In recent years there have been numerous high-profile cases of lapses in data security and privacy. Many resulted in serious operational, reputational and customer costs or losses. The EU’s far-reaching General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) demonstrates officialdom’s level of concern with the issue and emphasises the need for close attention by industry.
As a large, modern, and global organisation Sofil logistics Limited maintains electronic records and relationships with its stakeholder groups, including customers and employees. The interests of the company and its stakeholders are aligned in ensuring the security and privacy of such information is not compromised and or exploited by third parties.
Information Security Management
Sofil logistics Limited will comply with the GDPR regulation through its structured strategic approach to information security, which includes the implementation of a related set of policies and procedures. The company is putting in place systems and processes to report on the ‘Number of notifications to clients and data protection authorities’ arising from GDPR for the group. Responsibility and ownership of the process will be with the Data Privacy Officer (DPO).
Management of privacy and data security will also interface with ongoing projects and initiatives in information security in general, more specifically the implementation of an Information Security Management System.
Ambitions and next steps
Sofil logistics Limited aims to have fulfilled the binding corporate rules (BCR) application prior to GDPR taking effect in January 2023. Separately, the information security management system will be reinforced to reflect industry best practice and policies to increase the overall maturity level.
