GDPR Statement.

What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an European Union (EU) regulation (2016/679) that enhances current data protection laws and rights for EU citizens. This enhances data protection rights for data subjects and obligates companies to be more transparent.

When will the GDPR take effect?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on the 25th of May 2018.

Why does this affect me?
GDPR applies to anyone who holds or processes the data of an EU citizen, regardless of whether you are based in the EU or a third country, and enhances the data rights of all EU citizens. More information can be found on the EU’s website.

Investorist as a controller and a processor
Data controllers are companies that decide how personal data is collected, used or tracked from EU citizens. As a client, it is likely you are a controller for the data you collect and use on Investorist. Investorist also acts as a controller when collecting and using your personal information.
Data processors are companies that process data on behalf of data controllers. As you will most likely be processing information for your clients, it is possible that Investorist is also a data processor for this type data activities. As a customer data platform, Investorist is considered a data processor.
We will be ready for the GDPR as both a data controller and when acting as a data processor on your behalf.
