Subscriben - Data protection, privacy, the GDPR, right to be forgotten, etc.

At Subscriben (and across all our associated products – UpdraftPlus, WP Optimize, UpdraftCentral), we aim to comply with both the letter and the spirit of this new, quite heavy, law. Its aim is to set a new gold standard for data collecting, processing and retention, and associated rights. We are all individuals too, and we think that the GDPR is bringing in some very valuable tools to allow consumers to have control and protection of their data. As such, we intend to treat all clients – whether EU citizens or not – as if they were EU citizens. We want everybody to know that we aim to treat their data with maximum respect and care.

To this end, we have been doing a lot of work on GDPR and data protection issues. One of the fruits of this is our “data protection and privacy centre”. This has quite a number of useful links giving information on what data we have (and usually, don’t have, because we didn’t collect it in the first place), and what we do with it (and what we don’t do with it).

We want to assure all our users that we see being “best of breed” in this area as a priority, and that we are continuously and energetically pursuing that goal
