عن اللائحة العامة لحماية البيانات(GDPR)

GDPR is the comprehensive data protection and privacy regulation that was implemented by the European Union and applies since May, 2018. The regulation is an essential step to strengthen individuals' fundamental rights in the age of newly developed technologies.

The GDPR applies to organizations that process the personal data of residents in the EU, regardless of where the processing takes place. This means that the territorial scope of the GDPR is wide-ranging, the individuals and organizations outside the EU may also be subject to the GDPR if they process EU citizens' data.

After Brexit, the new regime for the UK is known as UK GDPR and the similar local requirements have been formed by UK data protection authority Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

ما سبب أهمية اللائحة العامة لحماية البيانات(GDPR)

HOW TO CREATE FORMS THAT HELP YOU COMPLY WITH GDPR
SIGN A DPA

توقيع DPA

Processing conducted by a processor on behalf of a controller must be governed by a written contract or other legal act. Jotform makes it easy for our customers to show that they use Jotform in a GDPR-compliant way. To make it convenient and easy, we provide a Data Processing Addendum (DPA), which is a self-serve and easy-to-execute document pre-signed by Jotform. It only requires an electronic signature from the user.

Once the DPA is filled out and submitted, it will automatically be sent to Jotform so we and our customers have a record that this important document was put in place. You can both fulfill your obligation to have a DPA and check over the terms and conditions of the processing.

The Jotform GDPR compliant DPA is available here.

Please note that GDPR is a legislative regulation and legal advice should be sought for all-purpose compliance. If you have further questions regarding Jotform’s GDPR compliance or related features please contact us via gdpr@jotform.com
