GVIVE DATA PROTECTION POLICY

Bsystems does not keep any data and information from the GVIVE platform directly or indirectly, we however monitor the network for the purposes of ensuring security, availability and quality of service and compliance achievements, in line with the SLA covenants signed with our customers and identity data source controller.

For example, it is also necessary to process information on behalf of other service providers for staff recruitment and social and welfare payments for individual related transactions being executed and for legal obligations to report. To comply with the law, information must be validated and reported fairly, safely and not disclosed to any other person unlawfully.

To do this, the GVIVE platform complies with the Data Protection Principles.

In summary these states that personal and individuals’ data shall:

  1. be accessed and processed fairly and lawfully and shall not be processed unless certain conditions are met.
  2. be accessed for a specified and lawful purpose and shall not be processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose.
  3. be adequate, relevant and not excessive for those purposes.
  4. be accessed for verification as is and not updated or altered in any way or form.
  5. not be accessed for longer than is necessary for that purpose.
  6. be processed in accordance with the data subject’s rights.
  7. be assessed from a safe environment devoid from unauthorized access, accidental loss or destruction.
  8. not be accessed from outside the host country or pre-approved area or jurisdiction, unless that country has equivalent levels of protection and privacy for personal data.

Bsystems and all staff or others who process or use any personal information must ensure that they also follow these principles at all times. In order to ensure that this happens, Bsystems has developed the Data Protection Policy below for the GVIVE platform:

1) Status of the Policy

This policy does not form part of the formal contract of partnership, but it is a condition of partners that GVIVE platform partners and indirect service providers will abide by the rules and policies made by Bsystems from time to time. Any failures to follow the policy can therefore result in abrogation of partnership or service contract.

Any partner or service provider that considers that the policy has not been followed in respect of individuals’ data or the partner’s data should raise the matter with the Bsystems or the data source controller. If the matter is not resolved it should be raised as an escalation of grievance.

2) Notification of Data Accessed and Processed

All Bsystems staff, including direct and indirect partner users are entitled to;

  1. know what information GVIVE platform have access to and processes about them and why.
  2. know how to gain access to it.
  3. know how to keep it as is without possibility of modification and updating.
  4. know what Bsystems is doing with the GVIVE platform at any time to ensure compliance with its obligations

Bsystems therefore provides all staff and interested individuals and other relevant users with a standard form of notification and verification. This will state all the types of data GVIVE can access and process concerning them, and the reasons for which it is processed. GVIVE will ensure this is done on demand.

3) Responsibilities of Individuals

All individuals are responsible for:

  1. checking that any information that they provide to the data source controller in connection with their verification through GVIVE is accurate and up to date.

All individuals accessing their information directly are required to indicate that they have read and agree with the GVIVE Data Protection and Privacy Policy as component of their access to GVIVE platform through all available channels.

  6. Data accessed on portable electronic devices or digital media is the responsibility of the partner or individual who operates the equipment. It is the responsibility of this individual to ensure that:
    1. Suitable event and activity logs are backed-up and easily retrieved upon request
    2. Sensitive data is appropriately encrypted
    3. Sensitive data cannot be copied onto portable storage devices in line with SLA with the Data Controller, in regards to appropriate encryption and protection measures.

  7. For some information the risks of failure to provide adequate security may be so high that it should NEVER be taken for granted. Exceptions to this may only be with the explicit approval of the Data Controller.

GVIVE will only use the information in the protection of the health and safety of the individual being verified but will need consent from the Data Controller to process in the event of a medical emergency or police investigation after obtaining required “warrant of inquiry” from an appropriate court of law.
  3. All prospective individuals and partners will be asked to sign a consent form to process data, regarding particular types of information being accessed from all available channels. A refusal to sign or accept the conditions for access/verification can result in the offer being denied.

7) Processing Sensitive Information

  1. Depending of the data controller source, sometimes it may be necessary to process information about a person’s health, criminal convictions, race and gender and family details.
  2. This may be to ensure GVIVE platform is a safe place for everyone, or to operate other policies of the data controller as the need may arise in future.

  4. During the enrollment process, access may be denied if an individual or partner refuses to consent to this, without good reason.

8) The Data Controller

  1. The source Data Controller is the ultimate custodian of all identity data being accessed for verification by GVIVE and is therefore ultimately responsible for ensuring that GVIVE meets the required data protection and privacy covenants. However, there are also designated data controllers in Bsystems to manage the relationship and day to day activities.
  2. Bsystems has designated one data controller, who is the primary point of authorization for receipt and supply of data requests with individuals and other stakeholders.
