At Unique, we prioritize the functionality and quality of our services and the security and compliance aspects related to data processing. Our Data Processing Addendum (DPA) plays a critical role in handling personal data while you use our services. Here’s what you need to know about the DPA in a way that relates directly to your everyday tasks.
Simplified Data Privacy
The DPA ensures that the personal data you manage as part of your job is processed securely and in compliance with relevant privacy laws. This includes any information that could identify you or the individuals you interact with through our services, such as names, contact details, and more.
Roles and Responsibilities
Our DPA clarifies the roles in data processing:
Unique acts as a data processor, meaning we handle data on behalf of your organization.
Your organization is the data controller, responsible for agreeing on how the data are processed.
Secure Data Processing
We are committed to protecting the data you work with. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches as well as ensure data integrity and confidentiality. Whether you input data into our system or access processed information, these safeguards directly support the security of your daily operations.
Sub-processors and Third Parties
Sometimes, we use third-party services to enhance our offerings, which might involve processing some of the data you handle. We ensure all sub-processors comply with our high data protection standards, so your data remains secure, even when third parties are involved. All sub-processors are outlined in our DPA.
Data Breaches and Incident Response
Should a data breach occur, our DPA provides clear procedures on how it will be handled. These procedures allow us to mitigate risks and communicate effectively with affected data subjects, ensuring transparency and trust.
Continuous Compliance
Our commitment to comply with the DPA and by extension, with relevant data protection laws in Switzerland and beyond, means you can focus on your work knowing that compliance and data handling are taken care of.
