GDPR is a European Union (EU) privacy law that impacts businesses around the world. This law regulates how companies use personal data of users located in the European Union. If a business collects, transmits, modifies or stores any personal data of EU citizens, they need to comply with GDPR.
GDPR replaces few older directives and introduces essential changes that may affect Beaconstac users.
We have updated our Privacy Policy, cookie policy and Terms of Service, effective July 20th, 2018. With these changes, we reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding the personal data of our users, contacts and anyone who visits our website. We have three core privacy principles: accountability through awareness, empowering individuals, and protecting and safeguarding information.
Here are some highlights of the changes we’ve made:
Our beacon campaigns are related to consent and individual rights to help you comply with the GDPR. As for our customers, we may use personal information for administering their use of our service, to better understand their needs and interests, understand and improve your product, serve relevant ads and more.
No, GDPR does not regulate how you use personal data of users located in the United States. However, in the US other regulations by FTC protect consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
GDPR applies to all EU member nations including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Yes, it does. Check out this document for further details.
Given that Beaconstac or beacon technology does not collect personal, identifiable information of consumers engaging with your beacons, there is no specific action that needs to be taken at your end. However, if you use other supporting systems along with beacons, decide to redirect users to custom URLs (your websites), or integrate beacons with digital signs etc., then please look into the GDPR compliance of those individual tools or platforms.
We encourage you to take the time to review our revised Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and Cookie Policy. By continuing to use Beaconstac on or after July 20, 2018, you acknowledge our updated Privacy Policy and agree to our updated Terms of Service.
As our company grows and evolves, we’ll continue to focus on strengthening and improving our privacy practices and tools, for the benefit of our customers, contacts, and website visitors.
If you have specific questions about the GDPR and your use of Beaconstac, you can email legal@mobstac.com.
