Under DPPR, service providers shall comply with the following data processing guidelines:
DPPR has a comprehensive, clear, and strict set of obligations regarding obtaining the consent of data owners. It is imperative for service providers to obtain the consent of the user (data owner to collect and process their personal data) before providing the service to the user. More importantly, the data owner must provide consent to all the conditions and obligations that apply to the collection and processing of personal data.
In the event of a breach, service providers are required to notify CITRA within a period not exceeding 72 hours when the incident is discovered.
Similar to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Kuwait’s DPPR also requires service providers to maintain a record of processing activities for review by CITRA upon request.
DPPR requires service providers to notify data owners about their intention of transferring the personal data of the data owners outside Kuwait but following the measures recommended by CITRA.
Following are some data owner rights that Kuwaitiis can practice
Right to Access:- The data owner is entitled to exercise his right to access details regarding his personal data processed by the service provider.
Right to Rectification:- The data owner has the right to request the service provider to change or rectify the data or delete it.
Right to Erasure/Destroy/Anonymize:- The data owner has the right to request the service provider to delete the personal data upon the request for consent withdrawal or if the personal data isn’t required anymore to use services provided by the service provider.
Our AI-based, patented solution, TurtleShield PI (Privacy Intelligence) discovers all personal and sensitive data in structured and unstructured data systems across on-premises and multi-cloud environments. TurtleShield DI (Data Inventory) enables organizations to inventory & map their entire “Data footprint”, enabling them to protect what matters the most.
Often there are silos within entities or business and IT teams and it is challenging to get a full picture of data going outside organization and which is coming into organization, especially when data is shared with third parties, vendors, business partners and much more. Our TurtleShield PI (Privacy Intelligence) creates a data map based on your “data sharing”, to facilitate you to take action on it.
TurtleShield DM (Data Minimization) helps businesses minimize excess data and adhere to data minimization principle. This is data hygiene control and we are approaching it from a risk reduction and compliance perspective. We scan large data sets to scan for excess data using Machine Learning and find out excess data including personal data. This can eliminate operational inefficiencies and save cost by removing the unwanted data and legal cost of having it with respect to regulatory compliance.
With TurtleShield RTBF (Right to Be Forgotten) provides the businesses the capabilities to comply with mandatory deletion of personal data by providing the capabilities to delete the data on request along with the validation of the deletion.
Search capability in large datasets to fulfill data subject requests in totality and at rapid space. Assumption that data only exists in databases and nowhere else is often not reality as customer data exists in many sources. Using Machine learning and AI we crawl across data sources and predict where PII can exist.
