At MakeForms, we are committed to ensuring the protection and privacy of our users’ personal data. To this end, we are fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU regulation that sets a high bar for data protection and privacy. Here are the key aspects of our GDPR compliance:

What is GDPR UK?

GDPR UK refers to the implementation of GDPR regulations in the United Kingdom, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, after the end of the Brexit transition period. The UK GDPR closely mirrors the EU GDPR and imposes similar rules on the collection, processing, and storage of personal data.

Why is GDPR Compliance Important?

GDPR compliance is important for several reasons:

1. Protects the privacy of users:

GDPR helps to ensure that individuals have control over their personal data and are aware of how it is being collected, processed, and stored.

2.Builds trust with users:

By being GDPR compliant, we demonstrate our commitment to protecting the personal data of our users, which helps to build trust with them.

3. Avoids penalties:

Non-compliance with GDPR can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is greater.
