Privacy

GDPR Compliance. Smartsearch is compliant with EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

Addendum Schrems II. On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a ruling (the “Schrems II” ruling). In this ruling, the CJEU ruled that the EU-US Privacy Shield was no longer a valid mechanism to transfer personal data from the EEA to the United States. Smartsearch uses AWS from Amazon, a US based incorporated company, and is accordingly affected by the ruling, even though only AWS servers in Europe are used for EEA customers. After the ruling AWS has announced strengthened contractual commitments that go beyond what’s required by the Schrems II as an addendum. Further, the EDPB has released recommendations 01/2020 on measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the EU level of protection of personal data, a 6-step roadmap. In practise regrading Smartsearch, all data at rest or i transit is encrypted, which according to EDPB in satisfactory for GDPR compliance.

This requires an administrator of the Canvas instance to create a Developer Key.

Developer key “A developer key allows an application to request access to a user’s information. In all cases, the user must authorize the application to act on his/her behalf. If the user authorizes an app, Canvas generates an API token and securely responds to a request from the external application with the generated token. The app can then store that token and use it to perform the information requests that it has access to.”
