We’re GDPR Compliant!

PubNub has announced its compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires businesses that handle personal data of European Union (EU) residents to adhere to stringent data protection standards, effective May 25, 2018. This regulation applies to all companies, regardless of their physical presence in Europe, if they engage with EU residents' data, classifying them as either "controllers" or "processors" based on their role in handling data. PubNub has implemented measures such as appointing a Data Protection Officer and incorporating GDPR principles into product development, alongside processes for data protection, deletion, retention, and pseudonymization. The company also suggests additional steps for compliance, like creating a Data Map and enabling users to withdraw consent for data processing, and emphasizes that further regulations may be introduced.
