On the 25th of May 2018 a new piece of positive regulation is coming into force within the European Union called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to help protect EU citizens sensitive and non-sensitive personal information online.

Under this regulation proxycheck.io will be classed as a data-processor and our customers which send data to us to be processed will be classed as data-controllers. As we have customers ourselves we will also be classed as a data-controller regarding the data we store about our own customers.

Because there are now specifically defined ways in how we can receive, handle, process and pass-on the data given to us by our customers we felt it prudent to create a document explaining how we are GDPR compliant. We do believe that we meet all the requirements set-forth by the GDPR and have been meeting them for over a year.

We have included links to our GDPR compliance document on every page of our website at the bottom and also next to our registration button on both our homepage and pricing page so that everyone can see the document clearly.

I'd like to iterate that we're proud to be compliant, we think the GDPR is a great piece of regulation that we hope will strengthen consumer privacy and stop what we see as rampant over collection and misuse of personal data.

You can view our GDPR compliance document here.

Thank you.
