HappyFox and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

What is GDPR:

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects the rights of EU citizens and their personal data by enforcing stringent laws and obligations on companies hosting personal data of those living in European Union. It gives EU citizens more control and transparency over how their personal data is collected, stored and processed by companies. It also expands the scope of what Personal Data means and how it must be lawfully processed.

For HappyFox Helpdesk and HappyFox Chat, we have implemented all the technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data stored in our products. We have always given top priority to Security and Privacy in the way we build, ship and operate our products. This law strengthens our commitment even further. We are excited to implement everything that comes under it.
