What is the GDPR?

GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) – The European Union’s data protection regulation, which came into effect on May 25, 2018.
The GDPR imposes obligations on companies that offer goods and services to data subjects who are in the EU or monitor their behavior, and on some of such companies’ service providers.
In addition, the GDPR provides data subjects who are in the EU with a set of rights with respect to the processing of personal data related to them.
Under the GDPR, for the purposes of Kenshoo d/b/a Skai (“Company”) services, Company is a data processer, and Company’s customers are data controllers. As for personal data collected via Company’s website, Company is a data controller.

What is Personal Data?

The GDPR considers any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, a personal data.

Company collects individuals’ contact details if they submit them through Company’s website, including work related information if they apply for a position. Company also collects log-in credentials (usernames and passwords) of Company customers’ users and related usage data, and further collects online identifiers such as  IP addresses and related attribution data when processing data on behalf of its customers.
