Privaatsusteatis

Privaatsusteatis, often translated as "privacy notice" or "privacy policy," is a document that explains how an organization collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information. It serves as a transparent communication tool between an organization and its users, customers, or data subjects. The purpose of a privaatsusteatis is to inform individuals about their rights and the organization's practices regarding their data.

Key elements typically found in a privaatsusteatis include the types of personal data collected, the specific purposes for which the data is processed, the legal basis for processing, and how long the data will be retained. It also outlines who the data might be shared with, such as third-party service providers or regulatory authorities. Details about the security measures implemented to protect the data are usually included as well.

Furthermore, a privaatsusteatis informs individuals about their rights concerning their personal data, which may include the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, or object to the processing of their information. Contact details for the organization's data protection officer or responsible person are also provided to facilitate inquiries or requests. Compliance with data protection laws, such as the GDPR in Europe, often mandates the creation and prominent display of a privaatsusteatis.
