What does the GDPR mean for me as a TinyMDM customer?
What is GDPR?
The GDPR is a groundbreaking data protection law that has been created to protect consumers and their personal data. It has replaced the older EU directive on data protection, reinforcing individuals’ rights and defining how businesses and individuals can gather, store, transfer, use and delete people’s personal data. As a TinyMDM customer, you can request to have your personal information exported or deleted and/or to have your account deleted.

What is personal data?
The term ‘personal data’ is the entryway to the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Only if a processing of data concerns personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation applies. Personal data are any information which are related to an identified or identifiable natural person (Art. 4 GDPR).
The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way.
