RJV Technologies Limited is incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom and operating as a technology enterprise committed to the highest standards of data protection, hereby establishes this comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation compliance framework as the foundational cornerstone of all data processing activities conducted within the organisation’s operational scope.
This framework represents an unwavering commitment to protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data establishing protocols that exceed statutory requirements and set new benchmarks for industry excellence.
The organisation recognises that data protection is not merely a legal obligation but a fundamental business imperative that underpins trust, transparency and sustainable commercial relationships.
Every aspect of data processing conducted by RJV Technologies Limited shall be governed by the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality and accountability as enshrined in Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
This comprehensive framework extends beyond mere compliance to establish a culture of privacy by design and privacy by default ensuring that data protection considerations are embedded into every technological solution, business process and strategic decision undertaken by the organisation.
The implementation of this framework demonstrates RJV Technologies Limited’s recognition that effective data protection serves as a competitive advantage and a catalyst for innovation within the digital economy.
Article 2: Regulatory Scope and Territorial Application
The territorial scope of this compliance framework encompasses all processing activities conducted by RJV Technologies Limited regardless of whether such processing takes place within the European Union or beyond its borders.
This extraterritorial application ensures comprehensive protection for all data subjects whose personal data is processed by the organisation irrespective of their location or the location where processing occurs.
The material scope of this framework covers all forms of personal data processing including but not limited to automated processing, manual processing involving structured filing systems and any combination thereof.
Personal data encompasses any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person including direct identifiers such as names and identification numbers, indirect identifiers such as location data and online identifiers and special categories of personal data requiring enhanced protection measures.
The organisation acknowledges its dual capacity as both data controller and data processor depending on the specific circumstances of each processing activity.
When acting as a data controller RJV Technologies Limited assumes full responsibility for determining the purposes and means of processing implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures and ensuring compliance with all data subject rights.
When acting as a data processor the organisation commits to processing personal data strictly in accordance with documented instructions from the data controller while maintaining the highest standards of security and confidentiality.
Article 3: Legal Bases for Processing
The lawfulness of all personal data processing activities conducted by RJV Technologies Limited shall be established through clear identification and documentation of appropriate legal bases as specified in Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
