The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) set a new standard for how companies use and protect EU citizens’ data. We welcome this law and believe in being transparent. 

At OCTOPODS SOFTWARE SYSTEMS, we have documented, updated our practices and protocols to ensure we are GDPR compliant.

As we rely on (your) data from Intercom we need them and other vendors/subprocessors to be compliant. Below you'll find a list of sub-processors we utilize.

List of sub-processors we use:

What’s GDPR?

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a new comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It replaced existing EU Data Protection law to strengthen the protection of “personal data” and the rights of the individual. It's a single set of rules which govern the processing and monitoring of EU data.

Does it affect me? 

Yes, most likely. If you hold or process the data of an any person in the EU, the GDPR will apply to you, whether you’re based in the EU or not.
