Since the implementation of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, businesses have had to take extra precautions to ensure they are compliant with the law when handling personal data. This includes any businesses that store, manage, or share media assets containing personal data, such as photographs or videos. PhotoShelter, offers a variety of tools to help businesses ensure their media libraries are GDPR-compliant.
Access Control: Control Who Can View or Download Personal Data
One key feature of PhotoShelter’s platform is the ability to assign access levels to different users. This allows businesses to control who has access to their media assets and ensures that only authorized users can view or download personal data contained in those assets. PhotoShelter also provides tools for tracking user activity, allowing businesses to monitor who is accessing their media assets and when.
User Consent Management: Obtain and Store Consent Records
In addition to access control, PhotoShelter offers features to help obtain and manage user consent for storing and processing their personal data. PhotoShelter’s platform allows businesses to create custom consent forms and store user consent records, ensuring that businesses have a record of consent for every individual whose personal data is stored in their media library.
Data Retention and Deletion: Easily Comply with GDPR Requirements
PhotoShelter also provides tools for data retention and deletion, allowing businesses to easily comply with GDPR requirements for deleting personal data when it is no longer needed. Businesses can set automatic data retention policies, ensuring that personal data is deleted after a specified period of time.
Security: Protect Personal Data Stored in Media Assets
PhotoShelter’s platform is designed with security in mind, and utilizes encryption and other security measures to protect personal data stored in media assets. In addition, PhotoShelter conducts regular security audits and updates to ensure their platform remains secure and compliant with GDPR requirements.
