Did you prepare for the GDPR requirements?
Starting May 25, 2018, organizations that process personal
data in the context of their European operations, offer goods or services to
the EU, or track the behavior of individuals located in EU must comply with the
new law. Updating their vendor agreements to comply with the GDPR is one of the
changes that organizations must make.
The aim of the GDPR is to protect all EU citizens from
privacy and data breaches in an increasingly data-driven world that is vastly
different from the time in which the 1995 directive was established.
Although the key principles of data privacy still hold true to the previous
directive, many changes have been proposed to the regulatory policies; the key
points of the GDPR as well as information on the impacts it will have on
business can be found at https://www.eugdpr.org/the-regulation.html
Some requirements:
- GDPR Compliant Privacy Policy + Terms of Service page on your website
- GDPR Compliant opt-in forms for people who can be added to your email list on your website.
- Go through and segment/email, those who are already on our list who live in the EU
- Cookies pop-up notification on your website.
Think this doesn't apply to you?
This applies to any business that; sells to the
European Union, or
markets to people in the EU. This includes if your business accepts their currency
if they buy from your company orif the website is available for anyone in these countries to view.NOTE: I am not an attorney, and this is not considered legal advice. If you have specific questions regarding the GDPR regulations, please contact a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
