GDPR Compliance Service
Privacy Is Critical...To You, Your Customers and To The Law
Consumers and the Government no longer trust you with consumer data. Here's what you need to know now about GDPR and our GDPR Compliance Services:
The GDPR applies to ALL business websites in the world, including USA-based websites.
Full compliance with the GDPR is not easy, and its requirements are lengthy and potentially expensive.
The consequences of non-compliance are even more expensive and potentially criminal.
What Actually is the GDPR?
The GDPR is a privacy law that says that EU-based consumers (called “Data Subjects”) own the data about themselves, not you. As a result, it gives these consumers 8 specific rights, among them…
- The right to know when you are collecting data
- The right to know the reason you are collecting data
- The right to see their data
- The right to prevent the sale of their information
- The right to be forgotten
The GDPR is the reason why you see “This Site Uses Cookies” on all the websites you visit for the first time. But the GDPR is far, far more than a simple cookie notice.
How Can This European Law
Apply To My USA-Based Website?
It's simpler than you think
Countries have mutual assistance treaties, which helps them cooperate in enforcing each others’ laws. But if you doubt for a moment whether the the GDPR applies to you, just remember how often you’ve seen the Cookie notices on other websites.
If the GDPR applies to all of those millions of websites, it applies to yours as well…no matter how distasteful or unbelievable it is to have to comply with a law from foreign countries.
And if this logic doesn’t satisfy you, then consider that the new California Consumer Protection Act is a California Law, but business all over the USA and all over the World will need to comply with that law, too. That’s because California Consumers visit websites all over the world.
Why the GDPR Was Created ?
In the short history of the Internet, companies have been on a mad dash to collect, own and analyze consumer data.
The more they know about each person — or more importantly, the more they know about groups of people — the more money they can make.
The underlying premise was that the companies who collect the data about you actually own the data about you.
The GDPR, and other privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act, now say that YOU own the data about YOU.
And since you own your own data, you have certain rights with respect to that data.Learn About Our GDPR Compliance Services

What Are The Risks Of GDPR Non-Compliance?
Ultimately, its your choice whether your company complies with the GDPR, and to what degree. But what happens if you roll the dice and don’t comply with the GDPR?
Potentially nothing. You might go years without ever having to comply with a GDPR rights request, a data breach, or some other issue.
However, most business owners spend almost as much time reducing or avoiding risk as they do generating revenue. And the penalties for non-compliance can be high. There are two levels of fines specified by the GDPR.
- Lower Tier Violations. Fines for the lower tier of violations are already high. They can range as high as 10 Million Euro (about $11 million) or 2% of your company’s total annual revenue from the prior year.
- Upper Tier Violations. Fines for the upper tier violations can be as high as 20 million Euro (about $22 million), or 4% of your company’s total annual revenue from the prior year.
