This control applies to all systems, people and processes that constitute the organization's information systems, including management, employees, suppliers and other third parties who have access to Cluevest's stakeholders' information. GDPR is one of the most comprehensive framework to protect the customers' data and privacy. For to comply with rules and regulations, we have adopted principles within our organization that are in alignment with the CCPA, GDPR and other international data privacy standards. Our strategy is to follow these principles and develop the culture and implement the right tools and practices that will ensure the protection of customers' data. These principles are based on transparency, data economy and data security among others, and we strongly mirror these principles in our business practices to comply with rules and regulations. 

Cluevest's strategy:

1: Transparency
2: Data Economy 
3: Data security

2: Fundamental Concepts:

Here below are the details of some of the fundamental concepts related to data privacy and protection.

 

Personal data:

Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. 

 

Processing of data:

Any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or other vice making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

 

Controller:

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purpose and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

 

Data Subject:

As per data protection policy, data subject is any natural person whose data can be processed. In some countries, legal entries can be a data subject as well. 

3: Principles of data privacy:

Our data privacy principles are aligned with GDPR principles for data privacy and protection. We implement following principles in our business practices to comply with rules and regulations and also protect customers' data and privacy.

 

I: Fairness & lawfulness

II: Restriction to a specific purpose

III: Transparency 

IV: Data minimization & data economy

V: Deletion 

VI: Accuracy; Keep up-to-dateness of data

 

I: Fairness and lawfulness:

The first principle strengthens that data should be processes lawfully and fairly. The individual rights of the data subject must be protected while processing personal data.

 

II: Restriction to a specific purpose:

Data should be collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processes in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall,  in accordance with GDPR Article 89(1), not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes ('purposes limitation').

 

III: Transparency:

Data subject should be informed about how his/her data is being handled. Generally, personal data should be collected directly from the individual concerned. When data is collected, the data subject must either be aware of or informed of:

 

  • The identity of the data controller
  • The purpose of data processing
  • Third parties or categories of third parties to whom the data might be transmitted.

 

IV: Data minimization & data economy:

Before requesting and processing of personal data, we must determine whether or to what extent the processing of a personal data is necessary in order to achieve the purpose for which data is undertaken. Data should be adequate, relevant and limited to achieve any purpose with the data. We need to pursue the goal by anonymization and minimization wherever it is possible. Personal data may not be collected in advance and stored for potential future purposes unless required or permitted by national law.

 

V: Deletion:

Personal data that is no longer needed after the expiration of legal or business process-related periods must be deleted. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for achieving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with GDPR Article 89(1) subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by this regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject ('storage limitation').

 

VI: Accuracy; Keep up-to-dateness of data:

Personal data must be accurate, complete and correct and suitable steps should be taken to keep the data relevant, correct and up to date.

 

VII: Confidentiality and data security:

Personal data should be treated as confidential on a personal level and secured with suitable organizational and technical measures to prevent unauthorized access, illegal processing or distribution, as well as accidental loss, modification or destruction.

 

 

Cluevest's values, culture and business practices are in alignment with these privacy principles, and we ensure that we have put strategies and policies on the place to comply with these principles. Our business workflow, business processes and applications are in alignment to follow these principles, and we also provide guidelines, mentoring, training and have accountability on the place to comply with these principles. We do monthly internal audit and are working consistently to sustain and be persistent with our culture to protect customer data and use the data according to data privacy rules & regulations. We continue to strengthen and improve our business processes and applications for to be one step ahead when it comes to data privacy and data protection.   

4: Privacy by Design:

Cluevest's management and the whole team are very committed to always think ten steps ahead when it comes to not only developing products and services but also the internal organization's culture and infrastructure, which are the major foundation and backbone to deliver our products and services to our customers and add value in their lives. We think ten steps ahead when it comes to implementing the new internal organizational processes, integrating new applications and technological tools, hiring new employees or contractors. We build, design and hand over responsibilities by taking into consideration of data privacy and data protection. Whenever we start looking any technology or application into our platform, we think the security aspects and how strong it can protect us and how it will work practically in our growing business. We build and design each element of our business process by taking into consideration the privacy of our stakeholders. At this time, we are using Influencersoft, Agiled, Deskera, webinarkit, vbout, acumbamail, shopify, uteach to store all stakeholders' data, further data is only made available to others within/outside our organization by using role-based filtration. 

 

We are also providing outsourcing services to our customers, and we normally use their systems and infrastructure and strictly comply with rules and regulations and to follow our customers' internal policies about data management. We also teach, train and mentor our customers about the data privacy rules and regulations and request them to do the role-based filtration on the data access permissions so that we can only access the data which we need to deliver results for the projects.

 

More than half of our outsourcing customers use our infrastructure and tools, and they completely outsource the business functions to us. This is more beneficial for them in-terms of time, which required to put this infrastructure on the place and higher consulting fees to make this infrastructure work and train the people to take care of this infrastructure. We have very strict policy at the place, and we keep each of our customers' data separate from others, and we put the data strategy on the place before we start working with any new customers and how we will store and maintain data so that we only collect minimum data which we need to get the job done and to deliver on our promises. In case any of our customer cancels the contract with us, we simple export the data from our systems and handover to our customer or we delete the data on the request from our customer.

 

In our outsourcing services, we typically need more data for to deliver our SAAS (sales as a service) and for this, we work with data minimization and collect only data, which are necessary like name, email, phone number and in some cases gender and age depending on the customer, industry and type of products and what kind of data will help us to help our customer better and also give the maximum protection to the data subject.

5: Our staff Responsibilities:
