GDPR Readiness

What Is The GDPR And Why Does It Concern You?

The European Union (EU) introduced a landmark regulation called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR in short) on the 25th of May, 2018.

The goal of GDPR is to give EU residents drastic improvements to their privacy rights and control over their personal data, and to protect them from privacy breaches and leaks.

Every organisation that handles, markets or tracks the personal data of EU residents is concerned, even if they are not based in Europe. In the case of software companies which typically sell their products globally, this means that this regulation applies to everyone, no matter where they are based.

There are strong penalties in place for non-compliance: up to €20m or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.

Making sure we were compliant, and in turn that the personal data of the customers buying your products was treated correctly, whilst continuing to provide a great buyer experience has been an important focus for us.

Here are the main concepts of the GDPR:

Personal data requires lawful processing

This means that you shouldn’t buy email lists where you don’t know how consent was acquired, and we can’t enable newsletters to users if we don’t know whether they have consented to them.

Users should specify exactly what communications they want to receive from you

This means that the language explaining how you will contact them needs to be very clear and respect certain rules - leading to fewer unsubscribes and spam reports.

Users will have a right to transparency around the collection and processing of their data

This means that they will be able to ask us for the data we store on them, and receive it in a simple format.

Users can request the right to be forgotten

This means that if they ask us, we will remove all their personal data - letting you focus on the best users.

Implementing all of this could be complex (just ask our in-house GDPR experts who have been looking into its correct application!). We rolled out changes to ensure that it was simple and straightforward for you.

Cookies & Tracking

We use a small number of GDPR compliant tracking and monitoring platforms. These services use a combination of temporary and long lived cookies to be able to identify unique user journeys. These services are used internally only for platform diagnostics and product improvements.

The data collected is not shared with any outside parties, nor is used for any activities which would require further GDPR compliance or an opt-out. They are necessary to ensure the reliable operation of our platform.
