GDPR compliance simplified
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation requires businesses to fulfill data subject requests for access, deletion, correction, and erasure, provide opt-in consent management, and generate records of processing activities (ROPA). Use Transcend to avoid penalties, meet GDPR requirements with ease, and transform your privacy operations.
EUROPE'S GDPR
What businesses need to know
The General Data Protection Regulation placed new obligations on businesses serving customers within the EU and created new consumer data rights—such as the right to access, delete, correct, or transfer personal data.
Since March 25, 2018
GDPR went into effect March 25, 2018 and has had hundreds of enforcement actions in the years since. This landmark privacy law applies to any business operating in the EU or offering goods or services to EU citizens—even if the company is based elsewhere.
Privacy rights for EU citizens
GDPR gives EU citizens the right to request access, correction, erasure, or transfer of their personal data. Companies must also give people an opt-in mechanism for cookie tracking, meaning they may not begin data collection without a consumer’s consent. Organizations looking to remain compliant with GDPR need a customizable privacy solution that scales to their needs.
GDPR enforcement
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is tasked with enforcing GDPR requirements across all EU member nations—having already levied many multi-million dollar fines, including a $877 million fine for Amazon, in the years since GDPR went into force. Despite Brexit, the UK still follows GDPR regulation, pursuing enforcement through the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
PRIVACY REQUESTS
Easily fulfill consumer privacy requests
GDPR requires that companies fulfill consumer requests for personal data access, deletion, correction, and transfer.
Transcend Privacy Requests is the easiest and most comprehensive way to delete, de-identify, return, or modify a user's data across your tech stack, no matter where it’s stored.
OPT-IN CONSENT

GDPR requires that companies give users an opt-in mechanism before collecting, selling, or sharing personal data.
