The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is an important piece of legislation that is designed to strengthen and unify data protection laws for all individuals within the European Union. The regulation will become effective and enforceable on the 25th May 2018.
Our commitment: Zoomph is fully committed to achieving compliance with the GDPR prior to the regulation’s effective date.

What do Zoomph customers need to do?
There are a few areas our clients need to be prepared to update (please double check your jurisdiction and counsel for further details)
Make sure your Terms of Service and or Privacy Policy properly updated and communicated to your users and how you are using Zoomph (and any other similar services) across your digital properties
This requirement has always been part of Zoomph’s approach for campaign activations and analytics, but the GDPR can heavily penalize you if you’ve not done this clearly
We recommend you ensure your policies are up to date and clear to your readers on various digital properties this includes all Zoomph Activations
If you are in the European Union (EU) you’ll likely want to sign a Data Processing Agreement with Zoomph. We are also working with outside counsels and will be updating our agreement to be in compliance with GDPR and other generally acceptable privacy laws
