General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

THE PAGE APPLIES TO:

Since May 25th 2018, the EU have been enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules for all member states. With significant penalties for the leakage of personal data, organisations are required to carefully consider their compliance with the GDPR mandate. Amongst the requirements are a way in which to facilitate users’ Right to Access their stored data, as well as their Right to be Forgotten; to have said stored data permanently redacted.

Building on our existing security features such as Digital Signatures and Watermarking, Secure Print Release and Authentication, PaperCut NG & MF give you two specific data related features to further assist with you being GDPR compliant.

In addition, PaperCut has authored a GDPR Compliance Guide, with practical advice on steps you can take to help make your print system GDPR compliant.
