JXT's GDPR commitment statement

JXT’s GDPR commitment statement

​Dated: 10 February 2018
 

Commitment Statement

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a major change to European privacy legislation. It has replaced the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (European Directive 95/46/EC) and will strengthen the rights that individuals within EU will have over their data, creating a uniform data protection law across Europe.

JXT has taken significant steps to ensure that it will comply with applicable GDPR regulations as a data processor, once they have taken effect on 25th May 2018.

JXT will also be working with their clients to ensure they meet their GDPR obligations.
 

JXT’s Position

JXT is committed to comply with the EU data protection requirements applicable as a data processor.

We have been preparing for GDPR:

Data processing:

Our ability to fulfil our commitments as a data processor to our customers, the data controllers, is a part of our compliance with GDPR where data controllers are using a third-party like us to process personal data. Because of this requirement, Bullhorn has worked extensively with local EU counsel to provide that our Master Subscription Agreement and related agreements contain appropriate provisions for personal data we store, and balance the risks and responsibilities between data controllers and data processors.

Third-party audits and certifications:

JXT conducts yearly security audits to ensure security protocols are being followed, these audits are conducted independently.

JXT has also implemented a range of reviews and audits that cover the key elements associated with GDPR. These elements are: Corporate Governance, Change Management, Access Control and Management, Data Redundancy, Backup and Software Architecture, and Software Development

Because GDPR imposes certain requirements on data controllers regarding the portability of personal data, JXT has been working on data portability, The data JXT stores on behalf of its clients is theirs. JXT allows for exporting of data through its platform.
 

Your responsibility as a JXT Client:

JXT clients for GDPR are the data controllers.
