What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation regarding data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

Superseding the Data Protection Directive, the GDPR contains provisions and requirements pertaining to the processing of personally identifiable information of data subjects inside the European Union. Business processes that handle personal data must be built with privacy by design and by default, meaning that the system must be designed to adhere to principles of data protection with the highest level of safeguards from the start, so that the data is not available publicly without explicit consent, and cannot be used to identify a subject without additional information stored separately.

Personal data may not be processed unless it is done under a lawful basis specified by the regulation, or the data controller or processor has received explicit, opt-in consent from the data's owner—which may be withdrawn at any time. In simpler terms, the GDPR gives individuals far-reaching rights and privileges regarding their data.

Traxxas’ Commitment to Data Security and Data Privacy

Article 32 of the GDPR requires that controllers and processors have adequate levels of security in place for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, availability – and more, of processing and other related activities.

Specifically, Article 32 requires Traxxas to Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including the following as deemed appropriate:

• The ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
• A process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
