In 2016 the European Commission approved and adopted a new framework for European data protection law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR requirements become effective on May 25, 2018 and affect all companies who process personal data of individuals in the EU.
Here at Agree Design we embrace the changes being brought in by this regulation and see it as an opportunity to further improve how we communicate with you, use and share your data and fundamentally, how we place your privacy, security and rights at the forefront of everything that we do.
We have taken measures to ensure our compliance with the GDPR.
GDPR preparedness checklist
We have been working hard over the recent months to ensure compliance with the GDPR. Below is a high-level overview of the key activities we have performed:
- Assess our product and business to determine areas impacted by GDPR;
- Conduct an internal audit to ensure that all third parties and suppliers used by Agree Design are GDPR compliant;
- Perform necessary changes to the platform (incl. easier to access communication preference controls, explicit acceptance of Terms and Privacy Policies);
- Update our Privacy Policy;
- Update our Terms & Conditions;
- Create a dedicated page to document our GDPR activities and compliance;
- Communicate our compliance with our customers.
