How Conversific prepare for the GDPR?

3 Min. Read

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on May 25, 2018. This regulation changes how companies use and process the personal data of European users.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) concerns all e-commerce stores that are based in Europe or serve European customers. The GDPR requires that if the personal data of European people are transported outside of Europe, then that personal data must be adequately protected. Companies are already required to take these steps under existing law.

We at Conversific want to help you to prepare for this regulation. The following guide identifies vital questions and provides answers to those questions, enabling you to take action in advance of May 25, 2018.

In the meantime, we have to inform you that this is not a legal advice. The GDPR is a complex and complicated regulation, that applies to some e-commerce stores but not others and can apply differently to different kinds of online stores and business model (depending on how you use the data you capture).  If you have any doubt about your course of action after reading this, you should consult with a lawyer to figure out exactly how you have to prepare for this new regulation.
