Teamgo’s Compliance Standards

 
International Organisation for Standards (ISO)

ISO 27001 is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS) as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organisation’s information risk management processes.

Simply put, it ensures that an organisation strictly controls all aspects of information security.

Teamgo Pty Limited is currently undergoing audits for it’s 2022 accreditation.

Teamgo employs providers that enable us to deliver our services within their framework guidelines. At this time we are able to extend the compliance encompassing their framework practices to our customers

 
EU and EEA General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a set of regulations, enacted in the European Union and designed to coordinate data privacy laws and strengthen privacy protections for EU residents. In addition to all organisations within the EU, the GDPR also applies to organisations in other countries that provide goods or services to residents within those regions.

Teamgo and GDPR Compliance

Teamgo’s services comply with the GDPR. In accordance to the regulation, there are various roles for companies based on how a company engages with user data. Teamgo is considered a data processor because we process personal data for of our customers, who are deemed data controllers.

As a data processor we comply with the GDPR by:

  • Disclosing how we process personal data in our privacy policies
  • Confirming that the partners, affiliates and vendors we work with also adhere to the GDPR
  • Anonymising customer data upon their request and providing the tools for them to do so themselves
  • Entering into data processing agreements with our customers, partners, affiliates and vendors that establish our respective rights and obligations regarding the use and protection of Teamgo’s customers data

Teamgo’s Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) is available online at this link.

How does Teamgo meet the requirement for transferring EU & EEA data into Australia?

For transfers of data from the EU, Teamgo employs the most recent Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) released by the European Commission. Teamgo’s DPA incorporates these mechanisms, and we leverage this DPA with customers that have EU locations to ensure transfers of personal data comply with data protection laws.

 
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) offers California residents additional control over personal information that businesses collect. For-profit businesses operating in California who exceed a certain size, or who collect a significant amount of personal information, are required to comply with CCPA and its related regulations.

Teamgo’s CCPA Compliance

The mechanisms Teamgo employs with the GDPR also applies to the CCPA. We disclose how we make use of California resident’s data in our privacy policies, respond to requests to delete data, or provide them with their data and sign written agreements with our customers, partners, affiliates and vendors that implement the rights and obligations required to comply with the CCPA.
