1. Data Controller Information

For the purposes of the GDPR, the data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Workicient Technologies

Role: Data Controller

Email: privacy@workidoc.com

Website: www.workidoc.com

When you use WorkiDoc as part of an organization's subscription, your organization may also act as a data controller for certain personal data. In such cases, WorkiDoc acts as a data processor on behalf of your organization.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis for processing your personal data. The legal bases we rely on depend on the specific processing activity:

Processing Activity Legal Basis GDPR Article
Providing the Service (account management, document storage, email sync) Performance of contract Article 6(1)(b)
AI-powered email classification Performance of contract / Legitimate interest Article 6(1)(b) / 6(1)(f)
Security monitoring and fraud prevention Legitimate interest Article 6(1)(f)
Marketing communications Consent Article 6(1)(a)
Analytics and Service improvement Legitimate interest Article 6(1)(f)

Responding to legal requests Legal obligation Article 6(1)(c)
Customer support Performance of contract / Legitimate interest Article 6(1)(b) / 6(1)(f)

Legitimate Interests

Where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing, we have conducted a legitimate interests assessment to ensure our interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include:

  • Improving and optimizing our Service
  • Preventing fraud and ensuring security
  • Understanding how customers use our Service
  • Marketing our products and services to existing customers

3. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances ("right to be forgotten").

Right to Restriction

You can request restriction of processing in certain situations, such as while we verify accuracy.

Right to Data Portability

You can receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transfer it to another controller.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling and direct marketing.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

When we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

5.1 Standard Contractual Clauses

We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission for transfers to third countries that do not have an adequacy decision. These clauses ensure that your personal data receives the same level of protection as within the EEA.

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Pseudonymization and data minimization
  • Contractual commitments from recipients

6. Data Protection Officer

7.2 Verification

To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. This helps ensure that personal data is not disclosed to unauthorized persons.

7.3 Fees

We will not charge a fee to exercise your data subject rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, or refuse to comply with such requests.

8. Supervisory Authority and Complaints

If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns. However, this does not affect your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
