GDPR and NDPR Compliance for Document Handling
How we ensure your documents are handled in compliance with global regulations.
Data privacy is not optional - it is a fundamental right. At Doculet, we have built our platform from the ground up with privacy and compliance at its core.
Here is how we ensure compliance with GDPR, NDPR, and other privacy regulations.
Understanding the Regulations
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive privacy law. The Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) is Nigeria's equivalent framework. Both establish strict requirements for how personal data must be collected, processed, and stored.
For a document verification service like Doculet, compliance is critical. We handle sensitive financial information and identity documents - exactly the type of data these regulations are designed to protect.
Our Compliance Framework
Data Minimization: We only collect data necessary for verification. Once verification is complete, source documents can be deleted at the user's request.
Purpose Limitation: Data is used only for its stated purpose. We never sell, share, or use your data for purposes you have not explicitly authorized.
Storage Security: All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Access is strictly controlled and logged.
Data Subject Rights: Users can access, export, or delete their data at any time through their dashboard.
Technical Measures
Our infrastructure is designed for compliance. Data is stored in secure cloud environments with SOC 2 certification. All transmissions use TLS 1.3 encryption. We conduct regular security audits and penetration testing.
We also implement privacy by design principles. Features are reviewed for privacy implications before development begins. Data protection is considered at every stage of our product development process.
Cross-Border Transfers
When data crosses international borders, additional protections apply. We use Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data transfers and ensure all sub-processors meet our compliance standards.
Our Commitment
Privacy compliance is not a checkbox - it is an ongoing commitment. We continuously monitor regulatory developments and update our practices accordingly. Our legal team maintains relationships with regulators in multiple jurisdictions.
