Lucy's commitment to GDPR readiness

Data Storage and Processing

Lucy stores all structured (“contact list”) data on database servers, encrypted at rest (on disk) by the production storage array (US hosting) or database-management system (other hosting geographies).

 

Lawful Basis Of Processing

Lucy has appended its Privacy Policy to include customers consent to include personal information including name, email addresses. We collect publicly accessible data from the social media networks usually is based on “legitimate interest” (and not on the social media users’ consent). The concept of “legitimate interest” and the associated balancing of interests are regulated under Art. 6 (f) GDPR. Lucy sees no relevant changes in the legal foundation of such data processing operations. Lucy will be happy to support our customers in their balancing of interests and their documentation of the legitimate interest. Please note that Lucy is not a law firm and may not provide individual legal advice to our customers, but only general opinion and “food for thought.”

 

Withdrawal of consent (or opt out)

Lucy has updated its Privacy Policy and Terms to include an email address whereby any customer can request an opt out. We will delete their information and provide an email to the effect of deletion of personal information.

 

Deletion

You will be able to request a GDPR-compliant delete of your name and email address in your Lucy application login.

 

Access / Portability

Lucy enables you to grant any access/portability request by easily exporting any contact record into a machine-readable format.

 

Modification

In Lucy, if a customer asks you to change her information, you (or your portal admin) can do so from within her contact record.
