How Beamer is Complying with GDPR

At Beamer we value your privacy and your users’ privacy. We want to be clear about the data we collect, how we use it, and your rights to control that information, which is why we’ve made some updates to our Privacy Policy.  Beamer is proud to announce that we are GDPR compliant.

Standard Contractual Clauses.

We’ve made these updates to reflect the high standards established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). On 4 June 2021, the Commission issued modernized standard contractual clauses under the GDPR for data transfers from controllers or processors in the EU/EEA (or otherwise subject to the GDPR) to controllers or processors established outside the EU/EEA (and not subject to the GDPR). We have now updated our Standard Contractual Clauses to reflect this and have implemented them in our revised Data Protection Addendum which you can download below.Here’s a quick summary of the important updates to our Privacy Policy done initially to comply with GDPR when it was announced:

• Clarification on what personal data we collect and its purpose
• Third parties we share personal data with
• Addition of a cookie notice to all marketing pages and blogs

We have also added the user’s right to be forgotten/have data erased. You can access any users data and/or delete this information using this link: https://app.getbeamer.com/privacy

GDPR refresher: what is my role?

We know that GDPR can be a little overwhelming. With all the custom jargon like controller, processor, sub-processor, etc. it can a bit confusing to keep clear who all the players are and what your particular role is. That’s why we created this simple graphic image that illustrates how the different roles are related within the context of GDPR so you can find out what your specific responsibility is in different situations. Hope it helps 🙂
