Privacy statement
Planon features a Help menu in the top-right corner to provide access to customers to link their Privacy Policy statement. The menu lists the Privacy statement option which allows you to view the privacy statement of your company to comply with GDPR regulation.
GDPR mandates that the Privacy Policy statement must be easy to find. The law insists that the information provided to customers about how their personal data is processed must be concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible.
You can specify the privacy statement in System settings > General > Privacy Statement . If there is no privacy statement specified, the option will not be visible in the menu.
The Privacy Policy statement must document and describe the following items:
For what purpose do you need to process personal data?
Is the personal data shared with any other parties?
How long will the information be retained?
As per the rule, you can only process personal data as long as it is required for a specific purpose in which the personal data will be collected. For some specific type of information, such as employee illness/absence information, you must adhere to specific limits.
How can users alter personal data that they have submitted?
How can people revoke their consent and remove their personal data from your system?
No Web client
Typically, the Privacy statement can be published as a web content web definition or an external URL which can be linked in the Privacy statement field.
However, to make this functionality available to those who do not have access to the Web client, the configured Privacy statement will now also be available under the homepage in the user menu.
