GDPR Compliance

Last update: July 19, 2018

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most comprehensive change to EU data privacy law in decades. It took effect on the 25th May 2018. The SalesQL team worked hard to prepare for GDPR and ensure we fulfill its obligations.

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. For EUR residents, the regulation aims to increase their control over their personal data. For businesses, the GDPR becomes a unifying regulation across the EU. On the 25th of May, the GDPR took effect and replaced the 1995 Data Protection Directive.

Does this affect me?

The GDPR regulation applies to any EU residents' data, regardless of where the processor or controller is located. This means that if you’re using SalesQL from the US to reach out to other US corporations, the regulation doesn’t affect you. But if some of your customers or leads are in the EU, you should pay attention to it.

In practice, most companies need to take the GDPR into consideration.

Here are some of the actions we’ve taken to ensure we’re compliant:
