What is GDPR?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is the regulation (EU 2016/679) by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission aim to give EU citizens more control over their personal data. It takes affect from 25 May 2018.
Does GDPR affect me?
Yes, if you are an EU citizen and/or your company does business with citizens in the EU. This means that if you are a telco or service provider offering email to your customers, you would be wise to choose an email services provider who is GDPR-compliant.
Is SenderExpert committed to GDPR?
Yes. We see GDPR as an essential element of good governance: the systems, processes and mechanisms that guide how we operate and help hold us to account by our customers, employees, board members, email industry peers and the general service provider community. The protection of customer data is also not just lip service on our part – it’s part of our company’s DNA and embedded in our core SenderExpert values.
