Preparing for the GDPR

Webflow emphasizes its commitment to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which represents a significant advancement in protecting individuals from privacy breaches and mandates clear consent for personal data collection. The GDPR affects any company or individual that processes personal data from European Economic Area residents, including Webflow and its users who host websites accessible to EU visitors. The regulation distinguishes between "data controllers," who decide on data collection and usage, and "data processors," who handle data on behalf of controllers. Webflow serves as a data processor for sites hosted on its platform and is dedicated to aiding users in maintaining GDPR compliance, but it advises consulting a legal professional for guidance on these matters.
