GDPR compliance is an absolute must for your business. Handling the data of your customers, prospects and partners safely and consciously should be self-evident in every company. Since GDPR came into effect, there are clear limits to what you can/may do with someone’s personal data. If your company is not keeping up with GDPR legislation, it may result in a competitive disadvantage. Nowadays, consumers are better informed and claim their privacy rights: an ethical awareness when handling data is of great importance in all departments of your company. GDPR compliance has also become crucial in B2B relationships: it is an important asset to demonstrate your professionalism versus competitors.
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, a European legislation that regulates the protection of personal data.

GDPR legislation applies worldwide to companies that process personal data of European citizens, regardless of their location.
