The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new set of rules designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal data and make organizations accauntable for data security.

- The collected data must be portable and upon data subject request, could be transferred to a third party.
- Right to object
- The data subject has the right to manage any specific use of its information.
- Right of access
- The data subject has the right to be informed of any of their personal data that has been collected and its intended use.

- Right to portability
- Our clients have an ability to easily export their collected data (email lists) to most common readable formats (.xlsx, .csv, etc.).

Who does the GDPR apply to?
GDPR applies if an organisation that collects data from EU residents or an organisation that processes data on behalf of a data controller or the data subject is based in the EU. The regulation also applies to organisations based outside the EU if they collect or process personal data of individuals located inside the EU.
Lawful basis for processing personal data
If you want to legally collect email addresses from your customers, you must get explicit consent to do so. F.e., your email subscription form should contain options to provide data subjects the ability to agree or disagree with their personal data processing.
Other case in which you can process personal data is when there is at least one legal basis to do so. According to legal basis, you can collect personal info to protect the vital interests of a data subject or another person, to perform tasks at the request of a data subject, to fulfill contractual obligations with a data subject, to comply with legal obligations or to perform a task in the public interest or in official authority.
