    In progress General Data Protection Regulation

    Post by clarkjohnken March 12th 2020, 5:49 am

    Its been suggested to me by a colleague that the upcoming "General Data Protection Regulation" (GDPR) probably applies to our forum hosted by forumotion? - As we are based in the UK can someone please clarify as I can't make any sense of it, it seems to apply to businesses & companies of which we are neither?

    Forumotion is a company !
    And a french company, so french laws are applied, no matter where you're living. What is important is who is hosting your forum, not where you live.

    The UK are still the same as any EU General Data Protection Regulation and as our host is in France you have nothing to worry about here.

    GDPR was already implemented last year and Forumotion forums have been in full compliance since it took effect.
