GDPR Compliance Overview
How Piler Enterprise supports your GDPR obligations
Piler Enterprise is designed to support organizations in meeting their obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when archiving and managing email data.
Roles and Responsibility
Customer acts as the data controller (Article 4(7) GDPR)
Piler Enterprise acts as a data processor (Article 4(8) GDPR)
Processing is performed solely on documented instructions from the controller
Key GDPR Principles Supported
Purpose Limitation
Archived email data is processed exclusively for archiving, compliance, investigation, and business continuity purposes. No profiling or secondary use is performed.
Data Minimization & Retention Control
Configurable retention policies and automated purging prevent unnecessary or indefinite storage of personal data. Legal hold functionality ensures lawful preservation where required.
Data Subject Rights (DSAR Support)
Piler Enterprise provides search, export, and deletion tools that support Articles 15, 17, and 20 GDPR under controller direction.
Security of Processing (Article 32)
Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, integrity protection, and detailed audit logging protect archived email data throughout its lifecycle.
Accountability & Auditability (Article 5(2))
Comprehensive audit logs provide verifiable evidence of access, exports, deletions, and administrative actions, supporting internal audits and regulatory inquiries.
Privacy by Design & by Default (Article 25)
Privacy-preserving defaults, least-privilege access, and controlled exports ensure that personal data protection is built into the system architecture.
What Piler Enterprise Does Not Do
- Does not determine the lawful basis for processing
- Does not initiate or assess data subject requests
- Does not make legal decisions regarding erasure vs. retention
- Does not replace organizational governance or legal review
Designed for Regulated Environments
Piler Enterprise is used in environments where compliance, auditability, and evidential integrity are critical — including legal, financial, healthcare, and public-sector organizations.
It enables organizations to demonstrate compliance, not merely claim it.
