Privacy and Data Protection with Trackier

We are constantly evaluating our privacy guidelines and updating our platform to be compliant with every certification required by an Ad-Tech platform.

Trackier and GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an important piece of legislation that came into effect on 25th May 2018. It has been designed to strengthen and unify data protection laws for all EU citizens.

What data needs to be protected under GDPR?

According to Article 4 of GDPR, personal data includes various digital identifiers. Other than the typical name, photos, email, the following information is also personal and hence needs to be protected:

TOMs under GDPR

TOMs or Technical and organizational measures are prescribed measures to ensure the security of the processing of personal data. These may include deletion policies, a record of processing activities, and more.

How can you use GDPR to your advantage?

Trackier and CCPA

CCPA or California Consumer Privacy Act is a California state law that introduces new data privacy rights to consumers and imposing limits on the collection and sale of personal information of California consumers by businesses. As a SaaS AdTech solution provider, we fully comply with CCPA rules. The requests of our clients with regards to provide or delete data are met with complete compliance.

Are you covered under CCPA?

CCPA only applies to California-based companies (or companies that do business in California) that have a hand in the decision-making process of how and why personal data is stored. These are the characteristics to look out for:
