What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the new legislation that provides European citizens control over their personal data.
Le Règlement Général pour la Protection des Données est la nouvelle législation qui offre aux citoyens européens, le contrôle sur leurs données personnelles. Officially since May 25, 2018, this rule is intended for all European organizations that process or store personal data. This also applies to third parties such as data hosting companies.
Failure to comply with the GDPR may result in a fine of up to 4% of turnover or € 20 million.

GDPR applies to companies in B2C or B2B based on the same principles indistinctly. In terms of commercial prospection by email, a distinction is nevertheless present on the consent (opt-in) of the person.
In B2C, no commercial message is tolerated without prior agreement of the recipient. While in B2B, the recipient must be informed and must have the opportunity to object at the time of collection and to later to rectify it.

Is a marketing automation software GDPR compliant in the first place?
Careful: this will depend on three important points.
First, you need to make sure that the solution itself respects the GDPR, and this is not the case for all softwares. You are obliged to choose a supplier GDPR compliant if you want to respect it yourself.
Then, the software must provide you with all the features necessary to respect the GDPR rules (data anonymization, right to be forgotten, etc.). If certain technical rules are not respected, it is lost in advance.
Finally, it also depends on your use. If the use you make of it does not respect the good practices, it is done for! But do not panic on this point, Webmecanik experts have a training module dedicated to GDPR compliance of your marketing team.
