General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, to protect the data privacy of all EU citizens’ data, and to shape the way organisations across the region approach data privacy. GDPR replaced the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and it came into force on May 25th, 2018. The full text of the GDPR can be found here.

The GDPR significantly increased the responsibilities for organisations and businesses in how they collect, use, and protect personal data. At the centre of the new law is the requirement for organisations and businesses to be fully transparent about how they are using and protecting personal data, and to be able to demonstrate accountability for their data processing activities.

Contento and GDPR

At Contento, we understand the importance of putting privacy and data protection in the hands of our customers, so we are fully in compliance with the GDPR. We have carefully examined the relevant provisions of the GDPR and we closely followed applicable GDPR guidance issued by regulatory authorities. The GDPR strengthens individuals’ privacy rights through tighter controls over the processing of their personal data, significant expansion of their rights over their data, and increased transparency into the nature, purpose, and use of it.

Your Rights

We know that you’ll want to provide the same level of GDPR compliance to your customers as we do to you. We made it easy to support your customers and give them the ability to access, handle, and delete their personal data. Because we operate on a self-service basis, you’ll always have full control over your own data, including autonomy in how you process your customers’ information. We also ensure that all of your data – and your customers’ data – is easily exportable in a commonly used and computer readable format.
