We're committed to protecting your data and respecting your privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in the EU as well as other key laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), and its successor the CPRA are some of the guiding laws that we align with. We want to share what we have done to become aligned with these laws so you can have trust and confidence in our processes.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of security principles and protocols laid by the European Union to protect the data interests of European Citizens. GDPR aims to ensure that corporations inside or outside the European Union become more transparent about how they collect, handle and process personal user data of European Citizens. The primary goal of GDPR compliance is to eliminate security gaps when it comes to collecting data from the users and allow total data control back to the users.
When the GDPR comes into effect, most organizations that collect, maintain, or process EU residents' personal data (regardless of the organization's global location) will be required to implement certain procedures and safeguards for that data.
What is CCPA?
The California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act (together "CCPA") gives consumers more control over the personal data that organizations collect about them. Under CCPA, California consumers have rights including but not limited to: the right to know about what personal data a business collects about them and how it is used and shared; the right to delete personal data collected about them (with some exceptions); the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal data (if applicable); and the right to non-discrimination for exercising their privacy rights.
All About Data
GDPR includes firm definitions for data "controllers" and data "processors." When considering your privacy, we must take into account the fact that we operate under both conditions at different times.
A data controller collects personal data, which is defined very broadly and includes information such as a name or an email address. We are data controllers when it comes to our users' account information.
But it also turns out that you, our users, are also data controllers. Every time you collect personal data through our services, you become a data controller, and we become the "data processors."
Data processors process personal data on behalf of the data controller. We do not control that data — you do. But we do process that data through our system as a convenience to you.
