General Data Protection Regulation — GDPR
As a leading global immigration consultancy serving clients in the European Union and worldwide, Triloknath Immigration Service fully complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679. We assist businesses and individuals in navigating international immigration while ensuring all personal data is handled, processed, and protected in accordance with the highest legal standards.
🇪🇺 GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679
The GDPR is the European Union's landmark data protection law that safeguards the personal data and privacy rights of EU citizens. Enacted on 25 May 2018, it is one of the most comprehensive and influential data regulations in the world — fundamentally changing how organisations handle personal information, conduct operations, and develop services.
The GDPR protects personal data of EU citizens and residents by setting clear, enforceable rules on data collection, processing, storage, and transfer. It applies regardless of where the organisation processing the data is located.
At Triloknath Immigration Service, we handle immigration cases for EU citizens and EU-based clients globally. This means GDPR compliance is not optional — it is a core part of how we operate and how we protect your rights.
The GDPR has an extensive extraterritorial reach. It must be followed by a wide variety of individuals and entities, including:
🏢
EU-Based Companies
Any company or organisation established within the European Union, regardless of size or sector.
👥
Companies with EU Employees
International organisations that employ EU citizens or maintain operations with EU-based staff.
🌍
Companies Serving EU Citizens
Any company that supplies goods or services — whether paid or free — to EU citizens, from anywhere in the world.
⚡
International companies that collect or possess personal data regarding EU citizens must comply with all data protection requirements and are subject to the same penalties as EU-based companies for non-compliance — including Triloknath Immigration Service.
The GDPR is an extensive regulation that requires the highest standards related to the handling, maintenance, and retention of personal data. Complying requires digital data to be encrypted and transferred with the highest levels of security. Key requirements include:
1
Explicit Consent: Private citizens must provide clear, informed consent to data processing before their data is collected or used.
2
Anonymisation: Data must be anonymised wherever possible to protect individual privacy and reduce exposure risk.
3
Data Protection Measures: Companies must implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from loss, breach, or misuse.
4
Cross-Border Transfers: Safe and legally compliant measures must be in place when transferring personal data across national or EU borders.
5
Data Protection Officer (DPO): Certain types of companies are required to appoint a DPO responsible for overseeing all GDPR compliance activities.
6
Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): Companies must conduct DPIAs to identify and mitigate possible risks to consumer data before processing begins.
The GDPR sets strict timelines and obligations for reporting personal data breaches. Triloknath Immigration Service fully adheres to these notification requirements:
Immediate
Internal Detection & Assessment
Upon discovering a potential data breach, our team immediately activates the incident response protocol and begins a full assessment of the scope and impact.
Within 72 Hours
Supervisory Authority Notification
Data controllers must notify the relevant supervising authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, providing specific details including the approximate number of individuals affected and the categories of data involved.
Without Undue Delay
Notification to Affected Individuals
Data controllers must promptly notify affected data subjects when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms, providing clear information on the nature of the breach and recommended protective steps.
Ongoing
Remediation & Documentation
All breach incidents are fully documented, remediation steps are implemented, and post-incident reviews are conducted to prevent recurrence. Records are maintained as required by GDPR Article 33(5).
Companies that violate the GDPR are subject to significant administrative fines under a two-tier penalty structure, depending on the nature and severity of the violation:
⚠️ GDPR Fine Structure
€10M
or up to 2% of global annual revenue — for lower-tier violations (e.g., record-keeping failures, processor obligations)
€20M
or up to 4% of global annual revenue — for higher-tier violations (e.g., basic data processing principles, consent, data subject rights)
✅
Triloknath Immigration Service has implemented comprehensive GDPR compliance measures precisely to avoid these risks — protecting both our clients and our organisation. Our DPO conducts regular audits and assessments to ensure ongoing compliance.
Triloknath Immigration Service takes all requirements of the GDPR seriously. We store and use personal data only for legitimate, clearly defined immigration service purposes. Our team retains and disposes of data securely and in accordance with applicable retention schedules.
