GDPR COMPLAINTS

(Last Updated March 8, 2020)

Overview

We created this GDPR section on our website to go over what GDPR means for you and the steps

we’ve taken to ensure the protection of your privacy

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into effect on May 25, 2018, and places new obligations on organizations based in the EEA or which hold or process personally identifiable information (PII) about EU residents.

Our Commitment

For the processing of data, the Live Earth Technologies may engage data processors or, at its sole discretion, hire other persons to perform certain functions on behalf of Live Earth Technologies. In such cases, Live Earth Technologies shall take necessary measures to ensure that the personal data processors process such data following instructions of Live Earth Technologies and applicable legislation. Live Earth Technologies shall also require the individual data processors to implement appropriate measures for the security of personal data. In such cases, Live Earth Technologies shall ensure that such persons will be subject to the non-disclosure obligation and will not be able to use this information for any other purpose, except to the extent necessary to perform the functions assigned to them.

GDPR Data Protection

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted by the European Union to deepen and harmonize personal data protection regulations. Now in effect as of May 25, 2018, it is a comprehensive and clear set of guidelines that acknowledges that different “flavors” of personal data require different levels of protection.

GDPR applies to all businesses irrespective of the region or jurisdiction, no matter where they are based, who collect and process personal data on EU residents. Non-EU companies have to appoint a GDPR representative and will be liable for all fines and sanctions

Some of the critical requirements of the GDPR are:

  • Consent: Organizations must get permission to collect personal data, with the level of approval varying according to the type of personal data collected.
  • Data minimization: Responding to years of gratuitous collection of personal data by apps, with no apparent purpose in mind, the GDPR stipulates that organizations can only collect personal data that is related to a well-defined business objective. If an organization gathers personal data for one purpose but then decides it wants to use it for other purposes (such as consumer profiling), that could be considered non-compliance.
  • Individual rights: Another feature of the GDPR is the self-evident rights that it offers data subjects to understand why their data is collected and how it is processed. They have the right to object, to correct—and they have the right to be erased/forgotten.

Live Earth Technologies has complied to applicable legislation, regulation, statute or order relating to the collection, storage and use of Personal Information including (without limitation) the Privacy Act 1988(Cth), the Data Protection Act 1998, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation May 25, 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, the Data Protection (Processing of Sensitive Personal Data) Order 2000 and comparable laws, as the case may be in the applicable jurisdiction, or any amendments and re- enactments thereof.

GDPR Scope

The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant legislative change in European data protection laws since the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), introduced in 1995. The GDPR, which becomes enforceable on May 25, 2018, seeks to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and serve as a single piece of legislation for all of the EU. It will replace the EU Data Protection Directive and all the local laws relating to it.

We support the GDPR and will ensure all Live Earth Technologies services comply with the GDPR provisions. Not only is the GDPR an essential step in protecting the fundamental right of privacy for European citizens, but it also raises the bar for data protection, security, and compliance in the industry so, therefore, Live Earth Technologies is committed to abiding by all Data protection regulation
