OUR APPROACH TO PRIVACY RISK MANAGEMENT

MyGold SpA adopts a systematic and documented approach to privacy risk management, based on the principles of proportionality and accountability established by the GDPR. This means that:

  • We assess the risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals before starting any new processing of personal data;
  • We adopt technical and organizational security measures proportionate to the level of risk detected (art. 32 GDPR);
  • For processing that presents a high risk, we conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) pursuant to art. 35 GDPR;
  • The DPO supervises the risk assessment process;
  • The DPO supervises the risk assessment process;

HIGH-RISK PROCESSING AND DATA IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DPIA)

Given the nature of the services offered—brokerage and custody of physical gold, management of savings plans, and AML compliance—some of the processing performed by MyGold presents characteristics that qualify them as high risk for the rights and freedoms of data subjects, requiring a DPIA pursuant to Article 35 of the GDPR.

DPIAs are drafted and updated periodically with the involvement of the Compliance Officer. If a DPIA identifies a high residual risk despite the measures adopted, MyGold will consult with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali) pursuant to Article 36 of the GDPR before initiating or continuing processing

SAFETY MEASURES ADOPTED

  • data access control;
  • continuous monitoring of the security of information systems;

DATA BREACH MANAGEMENT

In the event of a personal data breach , the company undertakes to:

  • promptly assess the nature and extent of the breach and the risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects;
  • notify the breach to the Italian Data Protection Authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, if the breach may pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons (Article 33 of the GDPR);

  • document all breaches in the Incident Log, including those that do not require notification to the Guarantor (Article 33, paragraph 5 GDPR).

7.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN AND PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

MyGold integrates personal data protection into the design of every new service or significant change to existing processing (Privacy by Design), pursuant to Art. 25 GDPR. By default, we process only the personal data strictly necessary for each specific purpose, limiting data collection, access, retention, and dissemination to the bare minimum.

Before launching new processing operations that are likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, MyGold conducts a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) with the involvement of the Data Protection Officer.

8.

POLICY UPDATES

This Policy is subject to annual review by the Data Controller and the Compliance Officer, or in the event of significant regulatory changes or new processing operations that require a new risk assessment.
