    GDPR POlicy

    Hi

    this is my first post, and what a question to begin with.

    one of my clients requires an updated Privacy Policy in line with the GDPR regulations.

    I believe I'm a data processor, but all the templates that I can find are for the website.

    have any of you come across such documents and where?

    Thanks

    Martyn

          As a payroll company then yes, you will be processing personal data. You need a GDPR privacy statement to issue to your clients, one for your staff and one for your website. Each one needs to include details of the data you collect, why you collect it, what you use it for, the legal basis for that, and inform the data subjects of their rights regarding that data.

          You also need to have some basic processes in place to deal with Subject Access Requests, requests to remove data etc.

              Better late than never, at this stage showing willing to the ICO will get you some slack to sort things out provided you don't lose any data in the meantime.

                Yes you're a data processor.
                Yes I've come across such documents, at my clients.

                You need your own though. You can start with a template, how about your client's template as data owner., but it needs to fit your business. This isn't a tick-box exercise you pay lip service to.

                You'll need to comply with their (your client) policy in any case, so perhaps you should work with them?
