GDPR

Learn how Post Affiliate Pro ensures GDPR compliance with robust privacy, security, and transparency measures, including dedicated support, secure data handling, and automatic data erasure.

GDPR Compliance DataProtection AffiliateMarketing

Post Affiliate Pro is committed to privacy, security, compliance and transparency. This approach includes supporting our customers’ compliance with EU data protection requirements, including those set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became enforceable on May 25, 2018.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU).

One way in which the personal data of an EU citizen could be collected while using Post Affiliate Pro is when you build a database of contacts, their information, and business dealings with them (i.e. a CRM system). Not all customers will be “data subjects”, as data subjects are only individuals. Some of your customers may be businesses or government organizations, which the GDPR does not apply to.

Yes, Post Affiliate Pro is fully compiant with the new regulation. Several strategies were prepared and undertaken in order to meet all the required criteria, which became enforceable in May 2018.

Additional security measures

2-Step verification adds more security to your Post Affiliate Pro account. When you have 2-Factor Authentication enabled, any attempt to log into your account must be accompanied by the code that you generated in Google Authenticator app. 2-Step Verification can help keep unknown people out, even if they have your password.

HTTPS encryption

It means all communication between your browser and Post Affiliate Pro is encrypted, including your chat and email communication.
