GDPR Commpliance for E-commerce

24.05.2018

If you have an online shop, you should read this!

There remains 1 day before the GDPR is fully applicable in Europe.

In our opinion, online stores are a special category of business that should be consistent and maintain the trust of their customers. That’s why we’ve selected 5 things that online stores should consider starting tomorrow:

GDPR affects companies that interact with consumers in Europe – or who could interact with Europeans – no matter where these companies are located.
GDPR compliance is a little simpler for small businesses. Which means that GDPR compliance is different for your e-commerce business than for a massive enterprise.
You can help your store meet GDPR compliance by making sure your terms and conditions are clear; remove pre-checked boxes, and generally respect the privacy of your customers and potential customers.
Your e-commerce business can take advantage of GDPR. Data privacy is a huge business in Europe, so if you follow the steps towards compliance with GDPR, you can inform all your European customers.
The marketing tools and channels you use in your online store must comply with the GDPR because GDPR will come into effect in May 2018. You need to keep an eye on this and contact them directly if you have any questions. But GDPR is no secret to anyone.
