GDPR – STAX BILL’S STATEMENT OF SUPPORT

At Stax Bill, we take personal data information obligations very seriously.

Together with our Privacy Policy, this document will help you better understand the personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use personal data and how we protect it.  In full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) which came into effect on May 25, 2018, it also explains the various rights of the data subject, including the right of access and the right to erasure (aka “the right to be forgotten”).

What You Should Know

The GDPR distinguishes between a Data Controller (the legal entity that determines the purpose for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is collected) and a Data Processor (the legal entity responsible for the handling of personal data on behalf of the Data Controller).  Stax Bill is a Data Processor.  In most cases, Stax Bill merchants are Data Controllers and as such, are responsible for a variety of data protection policies and practices related to notice, collection, retention, access and erasure (aka the “right to be forgotten”). Stax Bill processes personal data as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Stax Bill and the Data Controllers.

How Stax Bill Can Help

In keeping with our obligations as a Data Processor, Stax Billpromises to:

  • Keep personal data safe, secure, and private
  • Process personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security, using lawful, fair and transparent means
  • Disclose our sub-processors and responsibly monitor their GDPR compliance
  • Keep all required compliance records and audit logs
  • Make available tools to handle data subject requests, such as the right-to-erasure and right-to-access
  • Provide timely notice of personal data breaches

The Data Processing Addendum

To satisfy the GDPR, each Data Controller must receive “sufficient guarantees” from its Data Processors that they can implement measures (technical and organizational) to meet the requirements of the GDPR.  Since there are currently no codes of conduct or certifications upon which Data Controllers can rely, standard contractual clauses and data processing agreements are quickly becoming the norm. 

Stax Bill’s Data Processing Addendum is available here: Download.  If you are an existing Stax Bill customer or partner, our Data Processing Addendum amends your Services Agreement or Reseller Agreement, as applicable and governs the processing of any personal data which is provided or made available to us.
