Compliance

How does UNITICE protect your customers' personal data?

UNITICE is the multi-OS cloud checkout platform. For your customers' data — records, loyalty, reservations — you are the controller and UNITICE acts as processor, within the meaning of article 28 of the GDPR.

Who does what

The GDPR distinguishes the controller, who decides why the data is collected, and the processor, who processes it on the controller's behalf (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, articles 4 and 28). Your business is the controller. UNITICE processes the data on your instructions, in order to run the till, online ordering or reservations.

Our commitments as a processor

Data hosted in Europe

At an independent European hosting provider, with no transfer outside the European Union.

Security of processing

Encryption, one environment per location and continuous monitoring, as required by article 32.

Limited access

Only the UNITICE technical team accesses the servers, to run the service.

Incident reported

In the event of a data breach, UNITICE informs you as soon as possible, as Article 33 provides.

Compliant processors

UNITICE uses only GDPR-compliant subcontractors.

Retention and archiving

The data remains accessible for the statutory periods, archived on archive storage certified to ISO/IEC 27001, and HDS if needed.

AI with no private data

The detail of the technical measures is on the platform security page.

What remains your responsibility

Inform your customers, collect their consent for direct marketing and respond to their requests for access, rectification or erasure. UNITICE helps you respond, as article 28 requires of the processor.

Since 25 May 2018, no prior declaration to the CNIL is required any longer for a customer file. You document your processing in a register (Article 30): even in a small shop, customer management is included, because it is not occasional. A data breach that presents a risk is notified to the CNIL as soon as possible, if possible no later than 72 hours after it is discovered (Article 33). Depending on the case, two steps remain: send the CNIL the contact details of your data protection officer, if you appoint one (Article 37), and complete a prior formality for certain particular processing, such as health data.
