Berlin, London, Madrid, Milan, Mumbai, New York, Paris:
The 25th of May is almost here, and a major industry transformation is coming with it. The GDPR is ready to bring significant changes to the entire digital ecosystem, giving more control to users while keeping their privacy and data security in check at all times. The harmonisation of the regulatory landscape of 28 member states of the European Community will also simplify the data protection panorama making it much easier to navigate, especially for those companies that operate across several of these markets.
At zeotap, privacy and security have always been at the heart of what we do, which is why we adopted a proactive approach regarding the new law and we started working on it in 2016 with much anticipation. As one of our first key actions zeotap undertook its first GDPR assessment in 2016, and became one of the first data companies in the world to obtain a GDPR-ready certification from e-Privacy GmbH in that same year. Additional local compliance papers for each of our European markets from international law firm Hogan Lovells were also granted, as certain local laws will still apply in some markets. Since then, the company has been implementing further changes according the evolving GDPR requirements, which lead to its recertification in April 2018 with the “EU Data Protection ePrivacy seal”. You can access the certification document here.
