GDPR Information

Alvaria Preparations for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation

On May 25, 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective, replacing existing EU data protection laws based on the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. The GDPR strengthens privacy rights for EU individuals and extends the scope of responsibilities for businesses processing personal data of EU individuals.

Alvaria has taken the steps necessary to comply with the legislation and equipped our customers to do the same by the May 25th effective date.

Under the direction of Alvaria’s global GDPR project team, Alvaria closely analyzed the requirements of the GDPR and is made the necessary modifications to its products and services, contracts, and documentation to support GDPR compliance for our customers.

Alvaria conducted a full information audit and data mapping exercise covering all personal information on data subjects processed by Alvaria in its role as controller and processor. This effort included all processing activities undertaken by Alvaria by itself and on behalf of customers through Alvaria’s products and services. The level of detail included, but was not limited to, the purposes of processing, data subjects, categories of personal data, lawful bases for processing, location of data and retention periods.

Product-Specific Guidance

Alvaria will provide product-specific guidance during the first half of 2018 (extending through Summer 2018) as our product delivery teams continue their assessments and implementations of GDPR’s data protection principles, program build requirements, and response mechanisms for data subject’s rights under GDPR.

Access to this documentation will be made available within the Alvaria Customer Care Community.
