Data Controllers: (Nylas’s customers - customer relationship management software, applicant tracking systems, productivity software, etc): Controllers are a person, company, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
For example, the Nylas API enables two-way email sync for our customers and their end-users – this process qualifies as “data processing.” Data Processors (Nylas): A data processor is a person, company, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.There are two main parties that are responsible for GDPR compliance: The GDPR carves out higher protections for “Sensitive Personal Data” which includes information regarding racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, and data concerning health. Personal Data includes a person’s name, location data, and more. The GDPR definition of personal data is one that is ever-expanding and is deliberately very inclusive. GDPR applies to non-EU based companies like Nylas that provide services to EU customers or where personal data is obtained in the EU and transferred outside of the EU. On May 25, 2018, the EU’s sweeping new GDPR goes into effect and it impacts more than just companies based in the EU. In this article, we’ll review GDPR and how Nylas works to uphold all of our data to the highest security standards, including GDPR compliance.Īn Overview of the EU General Data Protection Rule To date, the Data Protection Act has played a big role in protecting personal data throughout the EU, but there’s about to be a new sheriff in town: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our email API handles data that by nature contains highly sensitive, personally identifiable information (PII), and the handling, processing, and management of this data needs to be regulated closely. Ensuring the security of the data that passes through our email, calendar, and contacts API has always been a foundational principle at Nylas.
