Data Life Cycle

GDPR requires that personal data is:

• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals.
• Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
• Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary.
• Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that inaccurate personal data are erased or rectified without delay.
• Kept in a form which permits identification of the data subject for no longer than necessary.

Whether or not an Informix database will contain personal data is dependent on the business needs and objectives of our customer. It is the responsibility of our customer to ensure that appropriate consent is in place for the collection and storage of personal data within an Informix system and to configure Informix appropriately to ensure that the data is secured throughout its persistence in an Informix database.

This document is intended to give insight into how Informix interacts with personal data once it is stored in an Informix database as well as to identify specific aspects that may need to be considered by our customers.
