Does DSI comply with European Data Privacy regulations?
DSI clients “commission” survey projects and configure our system to meet their specifications. At all times the commissioning client is responsible for data analysis, the use of survey results, and adherence to all applicable laws and regulations. It is up to each client to interpret applicable data privacy laws and specify during setup how the system will act to comply. It is our experience that each organization interprets compliance differently. Therefore, for our clients, DSI provides a number of technology configurations to comply with European Data Privacy including consent functionality, an ability to opt out of the process, providing access to view or modify data, and the ability to decouple identifying information after a period of time (i.e. 3 years). These solutions are configured at the time of system setup. We also publish our data privacy statement that describes our data handling policy.
