![A Marketer's Checklist: Are You Ready for GDPR Compliance? [Infographic]](https://getfoundonline.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/infographic-gdpr.jpg)
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has gone live on May 25th, yet numerous marketers in Europe, and particularly those outside of it, are still unprepared. GDPR aims to protect consumer information and restrict its use by companies. The information under its purview includes the consumer’s name, email address, IP address, online networking handle, bank details and medical data.
Each organization that collects such data from consumers in Europe must make a quick move to follow the directions to maintain a strategic distance from potentially hefty fines for infringement.
This handy infographic created by email marketing automation provider Campaigner explains the importance of the regulations for marketers and suggests compliance best-practices. Also, it doubles as a brief checklist of actions one must take to adhere to GDPR’s provisions.
