GDPR
At Skippership, we believe that protecting user privacy isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s part of our responsibility. That’s why we’ve built our product and internal processes with GDPR compliance in mind from the very beginning.
What has Skippership done to comply with GDPR?
We’ve taken a series of technical, legal, and organizational steps to make sure our platform fully respects GDPR, including:
- Carefully reviewing the parts of our product that interact with personal data
- Appointing a Data Protection Officer
- Updating our Data Processing Agreement for more clarity and transparency
- Implementing user consent controls in our feedback and analytics tools
- Making it easy to delete or export personal data upon request
- Building internal procedures to respond to privacy requests, report data breaches, and maintain data security
We’ve also worked closely with legal experts who specialize in European data protection law to make sure we’re doing things the right way — both technically and legally.
What do you need to do if you use Skippership?
If your website or app has users from the EU and you use Skippership, there are a couple of things you should take care of:
- Be transparent in your privacy policy:
Clearly explain how you use tools like Skippership and what kind of data is being collected. This protects your users and keeps you compliant with GDPR. - Sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), if needed:
If you’re based in the EU or serve EU users, we’re happy to provide a DPA. Just reach out to us and we’ll get it sorted.
What is GDPR and why does it matter?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of privacy laws from the European Union designed to give individuals more control over their data. It applies to any company that processes the data of EU residents — even if that company is located outside the EU.
Some of the key rights GDPR gives to individuals:
- The right to access their stored personal data
- The right to correct or delete their data (“right to be forgotten”)
- The right to restrict or object to how their data is processed
- The right to transfer their data to another provider
Failing to comply with GDPR can lead to serious penalties — up to €20 million or 4% of a company’s global annual revenue, whichever is higher.
