Summary

PubNub offers a comprehensive suite of encryption and data privacy tools to help applications comply with GDPR requirements, focusing on data in transit and at rest through SSL/TLS and AES encryption. With built-in AES encryption support, developers can secure data across various platforms, though they are responsible for managing encryption keys. PubNub's Access Manager allows fine-grain control over data streams, ensuring compliance with GDPR's data access principles, while also offering options for persistent data storage and message deletion to meet GDPR Article 17 requirements. The platform supports data portability in accordance with GDPR by providing data in a standard JSON format and offers the flexibility of storing data in EU-hosted centers or using a transient-only mode to prevent data storage. PubNub maintains a strong compliance environment with updated Article 30 records and policies to aid users in responding to data breaches promptly, aligning with GDPR Articles 33 and 34.
