MariaDB
Brief Introduction
MariaDB is a community-developed open-source relational database management system (RDMS), which was launched in 2009 as a fork of MySQL.
The intention behind it is to maintain high compatibility with MySQL with exact matching with MySQL commands and APIs. MariaDB databases are based on universal language SQL, which is designed for accessing and managing data in relational databases. The system is programmed in C and C++. MariaDB is cross-platform compatible with all major operating systems - Windows, Linux, MacOS.
How it works?
For the most part MariaDB and MySQL use SQL, meaning that code written for one should usually work with the other as well. That, however, is not always the case. There might be functions written for one that aren’t carried over for the other.
In general, though, you should be able to export a database from MySQL and directly import it into MariaDB without problems and vice versa - plug MariaDB into a MySQL application with minimal changes. MariaDB has an extensive set of features for high-end scalability and security, as well as features that meet modern demands for performance. Below we’ll name a few of them, of course it’s not an extensive list of all that includes.
Some of the features supported by MariaDB include InnoDB, which is designed for general transaction storage. Aria allows for easy copying of tables between systems, MyRocks offers stronger compression and OQGRAPH handles hierarchies and complex graphs. Furthermore, it supports transactions with ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability - this set of rules guarantee the reliability and security of database transactions).
Another important feature that this database has is that the platform is capable of distributing loads across multiple servers. ColumnStore is specifically developed for big data scaling. Additionally, Galera offers a synchronous multi-master cluster. Spider uses partitioning to achieve data sharding.
It also uses advanced SQL features like Common Table Expressions (CTEs), Window Functions and JSON data types that enable the creation of complex queries and modern data models. MariaDB not only provides regular security updates, encryption and role-based access control but also numerous plugins for authentication.
Advantages
MariaDB combines performance, scalability, flexibility and open-source availability, making it suitable for projects of any size: whether you’re developing a small web-application or mission-critical system, using it gives you numerous benefits. Followed below, we’ll summarize the key advantages:
- Completely open-source: MariaDB is under GPLv2 license, which eliminates all fees and gives you full access to the source code, offering you freedom to customize and expand the software.
- As already mentioned, compatibility with MySQL which gives you access to existing applications, tools, scripts using MySQL and all these can be easily switched over with minimal effort.
- Specialized store engines, this aids quick processing of requests even under heavy load and with large data volumes.Horizontal scaling through replication and clustering can be easily configured.
- Active community: A global community of developers and companies that contribute to the ongoing development of MariaDB databases, meaning that it constantly receives updates and new features, making it an ever-growing system.
Disadvantages
Like every product, this one also has its disadvantages. Some of them include a slightly smaller ecosystem and community if we were to compare it with MySQL. Some have reported that it can cause potential issues due to bloating (The IDX log file can become very large overtime, slowing performance) or slower caching (saying it’s not fast as it could be, which can slow down performance as well. Others complain of size limitations (its row-size limit is 65,535 bytes for combined columns), though this excludes BLOB/TEXT data stored separately. If we were to compare with PostgreSQL it’s more compatible with smaller databases.
Key Takeaways
- MariaDB was launched in 2009 as a fork of MySQL. It’s intended to be highly compatible with MySQL, but not entirely.
- MariaDB aids software developers with organizing databases in a structural and logical way.
- MariaDB has a modern and flexible onset of features, including storage engines: InnoDB, Aria, MyRocks, OQGRAPH. Scalability tools - Galera cluster, Spider sharding, ColumnStore for big data. It’s backed up by modern SQL support - CTEs, Window Functions, JSON data.
- MariaDB is a powerful, free, and flexible MySQL alternative with strong scalability and security features. It’s ideal for both small and enterprise projects but may face minor performance and size limitations in certain cases.

Who we share your data with
Google Analytics
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
Mouseflow
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of the web analytics service Mouseflow of Mouseflow, ApS (Flaesketorvet 68, 1711 Copenhagen V, Denmark).
In the case of websites on which Mouseflow is incorporated, this tool can be used to understand movements (so-called heat maps). For example, the data subject can discern how far users are scrolling and which buttons users often click. Mouseflow tracks clicks, mouse movement, scrolls, forms, and more. It shows an anonymized recording of the activity from each visitor on your site. Mouseflow provides heatmaps to anonymously summarize where people click/touch, move the mouse, scroll, pay attention, and are located. Mouseflow monitors how visitors interact with forms. It measures drop-off, refills, blank submissions, errors, and more - for each relevant form field - and can be filtered in real time. Most importantly, the services of Mouseflow enhance the functionality of websites by making them more user-friendly, more valuable, and easier to use for end users.
When using this tool, the controller pays particular attention to the protection of personal data of the data subject. The controller can as such only track which buttons are clicked, the mouse's progress, how far scrolled, the screen size of the device, device type and browser information, geographic location (country only) and preferred language for the display of website. Sections of the websites in which personal data of the data subject or of third parties is displayed, are automatically hidden by Mouseflow and are thus at no given time traceable. In order to exclude a direct personal reference, IP addresses are stored and processed only anonymously. Mouseflow uses various third-party services such as Google Analytics and Optimizely. It may therefore be the case that these services collect data transmitted by the data subject browser within the framework of website inquiries. These can be, for example, cookies or IP address of the data subject. In these exceptional cases, this processing is effected pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
The data subject can at any given time prevent Mouseflow from collecting data, by visiting the Mouseflow opt-out website https://mouseflow.com/opt-out/ and clicking on Disable button. More information about Mouseflow and about the Mouseflow tool can be found under: https://mouseflow.com/. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of the Mouseflow may be found under the following link https://mouseflow.com/privacy/.
Google Adwords
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
How long we retain your data

In case you are not able to access, correct, or delete your personal data or you would like to contact us about one of the other rights, please contact us via email – [email protected] .
Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

We recommend, therefore, that parents are involved in their children’s online activities in order to prevent data from being collected about children without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal data about a minor without consent, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete those data.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority and data subject. Regarding the Article 34 GDPR the communication to the data subject mentioned above shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met:
(a) the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular, those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption;
(b) the controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects referred to in paragraph 1 is no longer likely to materialize;
(c) it would involve the disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.

Cookies can identify you as a unique customer and store your personal preferences as well as technical information. Our website may from time to time use cookies to analyse website traffic and help us provide a better website visitor experience. In addition, cookies may be used to serve relevant ads to website visitors through third party services such as Google Adwords. These ads may appear on this website or other websites you visit. The file records stored in cookies ask permission to be placed on your computer or device storage media. We utilize cookies to enable us to give you a personalized service, and to help make our sites, applications and services better for you.

Who we share your data with
Google Analytics
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
Mouseflow
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of the web analytics service Mouseflow of Mouseflow, ApS (Flaesketorvet 68, 1711 Copenhagen V, Denmark).
In the case of websites on which Mouseflow is incorporated, this tool can be used to understand movements (so-called heat maps). For example, the data subject can discern how far users are scrolling and which buttons users often click. Mouseflow tracks clicks, mouse movement, scrolls, forms, and more. It shows an anonymized recording of the activity from each visitor on your site. Mouseflow provides heatmaps to anonymously summarize where people click/touch, move the mouse, scroll, pay attention, and are located. Mouseflow monitors how visitors interact with forms. It measures drop-off, refills, blank submissions, errors, and more - for each relevant form field - and can be filtered in real time. Most importantly, the services of Mouseflow enhance the functionality of websites by making them more user-friendly, more valuable, and easier to use for end users.
When using this tool, the controller pays particular attention to the protection of personal data of the data subject. The controller can as such only track which buttons are clicked, the mouse's progress, how far scrolled, the screen size of the device, device type and browser information, geographic location (country only) and preferred language for the display of website. Sections of the websites in which personal data of the data subject or of third parties is displayed, are automatically hidden by Mouseflow and are thus at no given time traceable. In order to exclude a direct personal reference, IP addresses are stored and processed only anonymously. Mouseflow uses various third-party services such as Google Analytics and Optimizely. It may therefore be the case that these services collect data transmitted by the data subject browser within the framework of website inquiries. These can be, for example, cookies or IP address of the data subject. In these exceptional cases, this processing is effected pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
The data subject can at any given time prevent Mouseflow from collecting data, by visiting the Mouseflow opt-out website https://mouseflow.com/opt-out/ and clicking on Disable button. More information about Mouseflow and about the Mouseflow tool can be found under: https://mouseflow.com/. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of the Mouseflow may be found under the following link https://mouseflow.com/privacy/.
Google Adwords
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
How long we retain your data
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
You may request that we delete your personal information by contacting us via email to [email protected] .

In case you are not able to access, correct, or delete your personal data or you would like to contact us about one of the other rights, please contact us via email – [email protected] .
Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

What data breach procedures we have in place
In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority and data subject. Regarding the Article 34 GDPR the communication to the data subject mentioned above shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met:
(a) the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular, those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption;
(b) the controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects referred to in paragraph 1 is no longer likely to materialize;
(c) it would involve the disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
Perspecta do not use any automated individual decision-making procedures, including profiling.
