Dedication to your data privacy

We are wholly invested in our customers’ success and the protection of data. One way that we deliver on this promise is by helping Velocity Tool customers and users understand, and where applicable, comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is designed to give EU citizens more control over their data and seeks to unify a number of existing privacy and security laws under one comprehensive law. The GDPR not only applies to organizations located within the EU, but it also applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.

The following sections outline our approach and investment in GDPR compliance in service of our customers and individual data subjects.

International data transfers

As a company with a global customer base and operations, Velocity Tool must be able to transfer and access data around the world. We understand and respect the rules for onward transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and offer customers a robust international data transfer framework as a part our Data Processing Addendum. This addendum ensures that our customers can lawfully transfer personal data to Velocity Tool Cloud products outside of the EEA by relying on the Standard Contractual Clauses. This addendum also contains specific provisions to assist customers in their compliance with the GDPR.

Whenever we share your data with Velocity Tool service providers, we remain accountable to you for how it is used by any of these organizations. We require all service providers to undergo a thorough diligence process and enter into contracts which ensure our customers’ personal data receives adequate protection and safeguards. We are aware that the European Data Protection Board recently issued further guidance on supplementary measures to meet the adequacy requirement of GDPR.
