GDPR requires, so Hicks says the company
was well on its way to GDPR compliance,
but there are some things that are new and
some are functionality issues that have to be
built into the tool and some are things that
need to be stated in privacy notices.
"If someone says 'Yes, I would like you to
give me access to all of my data or I would
like to have my data in a portable fashion
so I can take it somewhere else,' the task for
me then is understanding what does GDPR
require and how do you satisfy that?"
Hicks says there is still some ambiguity
around the regulation. "I think we're going to
have to wait until a few things happen to know
exactly where the guardrails are," he says.
A further wrinkle is Brexit — if that does
proceed and the United Kingdom is no lon
-
ger part of the EU, it will need its own rules
similar to GDPR.
"We're doing a lot of work lately to satisfy
our partners — most of them large compa-
nies — to say it's OK to send your data here,
just as it always has been."
