GDPR / Data Protection Agreement (Small Businesses)

Dthack — Mon, 14 May 2018 14:37:58 GMT

Hello Everybody, I have tryed asking this question via the Arlo support channels and Netgears but unfortunately have not been able to get a response apart from send a letter to head office...

So that our European offices can continue to use the Netgear Cameras - we are wanting a Data Protection Agreement with Netgear / Arlo. Along with answers to other technical questions related to the GDPR.

This question must have come up before so can anybody point me in the right direction / channels?

Especially as the Arlo product is also targeted at small businesses : https://www.arlo.com/en-us/arlo-for-business/default.aspx

Now I did not select the Arlo product for video surveillance in our business but am trying to continue to use it as it seems a pretty good piece of kit!

Thanks in advance.

Hi JamesC,

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately that link does not really answer my initial questions I have also taken a look over the privacy policy. Again this does not answer my questions either.

Here is what I am needing

1) A Data Protection Agreement (DPA), signed by us and you. (If you do not have one we can send you a generic one, all our vendors so far have been able to provide us with one)

2) The following questions answered

General description of technical and organisational security measures (if possible) to ensure the protection of our data. (sumary of what is doen and how it is achieved).
Retention schedule of your customer data. (As long as nessesary is not informitive enough especially conserning our video).
Physical Location of our data (AWS region etc).
Names of third countries or international organisations that personal data are transferred to (if applicable)

Should I point my above questions at : privacy.policy@netgear.com or is there a better place to send my questions to?

Thanks,

HI James,

Just checking in to see if there are any updates that you have for me - its slightly worrying for us that Netgear so far have not been prepaired to answer my questions - considering that the data being stored is potentially the most personal and intimate. Audio and Video.

- I dont blame you James I appreciate all your help so far

Also I never got a reply from the email address : privacy.policy@netgear.com
