FAQS<\/b><\/h3>\n
What is GDPR?<\/b><\/h5>\n

On May 25, 2018, the European Union (EU) will begin to enforce a new data protection regulation, the General Data Protection Regulation or Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens\u2019 data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy.<\/p>\n

Who does GDPR impact?<\/b><\/h4>\n

The GDPR applies to organizations located within the EU in addition to organizations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU natural persons or \u2018data subjects.\u2019 It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the EU, regardless of the company\u2019s location.<\/p>\n

How is ReadCube preparing for GDPR?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Our teams have been working to define and implement our GDPR roadmap for the past few months. Luckily, ReadCube\u2019s existing approach to the use of personal information means we\u2019re already compliant in a lot of areas, but we are working hard to make changes where required, including:<\/p>\n

Data Portability and Deletion<\/i><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already had this functionality available. \u00a0You can easily export all of your data out of ReadCube via your desktop app or web app PLUS you now can delete your profile through your account page without having to contact support.<\/p>\n

Strong security measures<\/i><\/p>\n

Security has always been a priority for us. We have regular external audits from a third-party security firm and have internal access design to ensure the right people within our organization have access to the right level of customer data.<\/p>\n

Reviewing\/Updating Our Policies<\/i><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had our legal team review our existing privacy policy (Privacy)<\/a>\u00a0and plan to release a new version to ensure that it supports all the GDPR requirements in time for May 25.<\/p>\n

Who should I contact if I have further questions about GDPR compliance and my relationship with ReadCube?<\/b><\/h4>\n
