Nylas emphasizes the importance of data security and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which impacts both EU and non-EU companies handling EU citizens' personal data. GDPR, effective from May 25, 2018, expands the definition of personal data to include a wide array of information, with stricter protections for sensitive data. As a data processor, Nylas is responsible for adhering to GDPR requirements such as the right to data deletion, data portability, and breach notifications within 72 hours. Nylas commits to data privacy by using pseudonyms and minimizing data processing while actively monitoring US privacy laws, which lack a comprehensive federal equivalent to GDPR but include various sector-specific regulations. The company aims to prioritize privacy while providing secure communication APIs, ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory standards.
