If you haven’t been inundated by GDPR, or by a million “we’ve updated our privacy policy” emails from every web site you’ve ever signed up for, or you’ve landed here simply because the deadline is tomorrow, Friday, May 25th: rest assured we’ve got you covered. **ExchangeDefender is 100% compliant with GDPR**. You are covered as are your clients on ExchangeDefender and we have presence across European Union to handle any issues or complaints that come up as a result of GDPR implementation. **What you need to know** GDPR, essentially (and no, this is not legal advice), is a European Union data privacy regulation that turns the tables on marketers and gives residents of EU very specific rights and control over their personal data. The regulation is very broad in terms of scrutinizing everyone that may be holding (controller) or managing/processing (processor) personal data and ExchangeDefender fits both of those roles at times depending on the product or service we’re talking about. [![image](https://storage.services.exchangedefender.network/exchangedefender-blog/blog/2018/05/image-1.png)](http://www.exchangedefender.com/templates/gdpr-video.MOV) If you’d rather do without me talking at you for 6 minutes, we have a ton of other resources that you can share with your clients. I would start with this document [available for download here](https://www.exchangedefender.com/collateral/GDPR/GDPR.pdf): [![image](https://storage.services.exchangedefender.network/exchangedefender-blog/blog/2018/05/image-2.png)](https://www.exchangedefender.com/collateral/GDPR/GDPR.pdf) **What you need to do now** 1\. Start by reviewing our new [Privacy Policy](https://www.exchangedefender.com/privacy.php). I know, I know, you’re done with 2\. [Contact us](https://www.exchangedefender.com/cio.php) if you’re seriously building out a business around GDPR and get our marketing folks to hook you up with branded collateral (minimum client count 3\. Review our [GDPR collateral](https://www.exchangedefender.com/gdpr.php), particularly the webinar with the deep dive of the [ExchangeDefender implementation](http://www.exchangedefender.com/media/XDGDPR.mp4). This is the **most important** thing you could do but it’s 27 minutes long and I know everyone doesn’t have that kind of time or attention span – I get it – but if you’re seriously working with us and need GDPR assistance, you will have to go through the training eventually. **Where to go next** We are very excited about GDPR and have put significant resources to design our products and services around the regulation because we believe it will have a broad impact well beyond Europe. Privacy, data integrity, right to be forgotten, right to withdraw consent, right to find out what sort of information companies have about you – those are fundamental rights in our opinion. And if you ignore them the penalties are going to be extensive. What we’re choosing to do at ExchangeDefender is to create a service around protecting people on the Internet – not just from SPAM but really safeguarding all communication you do as a business. Take a look at our [GDPR resources](http://www.exchangedefender.com/gdpr.php) and see how we can get you started on the same path – at the very least you can use our reach and resources to comply with GDPR.
