Get ready for the new European privacy legislation
Hereby a short update about the AVG. We receive many questions about the new General Data Protection Regulation (AVG). That is why we have listed all the points regarding the SharpSpring Software. SharpSpring fully complies with the GDPR guidelines on the May 25 deadline and we also want to make compliance easier.

Privacy policy
The updated privacy policy of SharpSpring indicates which data is collected from customers and third parties, how that data is processed and used and how customer data and data from third parties interact. View the new framework of the new SharpSpring policy soon. Reminder: The overall use of SharpSpring must be covered in your privacy policy. In addition, you must ensure that you make your use of cookies public in a cookie notification on your website.
Tools
It is more important than ever to prove how customers got into your database and how they interact with you. To help, SharpSpring has some GDPR friendly changes in the ‘pipeline’ for forms, landing pages and export tools. These updates include new options to collect and prove permission, as well as options for deleting data when the permission is withdrawn.
Privacy Shield
As our SharpSpring customer at The Blue Hour we also ask you to sign the new new conditions in SharpSpring. These terms and conditions describe your obligations to import, export, and delete personal information from SharpSpring. This must be signed in all accounts before May 25. So be alert!
Data processing agreement
There is a data protection agreement / Data Protection Act (DPA) for EU partners of SharpSpring (such as The Blue Hour). The data protection agreement will evaluate the data management tasks of both SharpSpring and the partners of SharpSpring under GDPR. In this way you are assured that we handle data from our customers correctly.
