The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation that expands the protection of personal data of EU citizens. In doing so, it also expands the obligations of organizations who collect or process that data. The goals of the GDPR are to increase transparency and fairness in the handling of individuals’ personal information. Personal data is any information relating to an identifiable individual.
Enforcement of the GDPR starts on May 25, 2018. The Regulation can be viewed here. All organizations need to be aware of their responsibilities and ensure that they are compliant with GDPR by May 25, 2018. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines.
The following information is provided to help you understand general concepts about the GDPR. It is not legal advice, and you should speak to legal counsel regarding the GDPR and how it affects your organization.
Does the GDPR apply to me?
The GDPR applies to any organization that is organized in the EU and any organization that processes personal data of EU citizens.
Organizations are classified as processors or controllers of personal data. Organizations that determine the purpose of the storage or processing of personal information are considered controllers. Organizations that store or process personal data on behalf of another organization are considered processors. Some organizations may be both.
When it comes to the personal information I enter into Forbidden Juice Co., is my organization a controller or a processor?
Because you control and manage the data you enter into the CRM, you are the controller for that data. You decide how that data is used, how long to keep it, how often to update it, etc.
What is Forbidden Juice Co.’s role?
Forbidden Juice Co. is both the Controller and Processor. Forbidden Juice Co. is the Processor of the personal data you manage in our systems.

How does my organization ensure our compliance?
