FaceApp: Are security concerns around viral app founded?
FaceApp’s privacy policy raises security concerns about the use and processing of personal data. Jamal Ahmed, CEO of Kazient Privacy Experts comments on the possible ways the information could be used.
Case Study Three: Privacy notices
The law states that when someone’s data is collected, that person needs to be provided with a privacy notice. An Investment management company was fielding job applications, and an employment agency was adding applicants to the Investment management company’s application portal.
The employment agency did not provide their applicant’s contact details and instead where filling it in with the recruiters own details because they did not want to be removed from the employment process and lose out on any fees. As a result, the company was unable to make the privacy notice available to the applicant.
From the situation it was unclear as to whether the employment agency should sign a contract to ensure they delivered the privacy notice, or whether the company should do something else entirely. At Kazient we helped find a solution to this impasse. This predicament also highlights the importance of having strong Data Protection procedures already in place.
Case Study Two: Consent forms
A non-European bank was recruiting applicants from Europe, bringing them under GDPR regulations. The bank asked employment agencies to complete consent forms for the candidates so that they could accept the information in an appropriate way. However, the employment agencies said this was too burdensome and that no other employers made this request. The bank responded by saying that the law required this.
Kazient were invited to find a solution to the standoff by employing our expert opinion. We were able to identify the correct course of action to take and find the most practical and efficient route to being compliant.
