General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR came into effect on May 25th, 2018 - and evenito has all necessary processes in place to be GDPR compliant.

What is the GDPR?

The GDPR is the new European legislation meant to replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive.

This regulation, which can be read in full on the CNIL website, is the new Europe-wide law governing the use and handling of individuals’ personal data. It has three main objectives:

1. To standardise European data protection regulations.
2. To give citizens control over how their personal data is used.
3. To make sure that companies are aware of their responsibilities regarding personal data.

Does the GDPR apply to you?

If you (event organiser) collect or process the personal data of any European citizen (participant), regardless of the country in which your company is based, the GDPR will affect your business.

Rights coming with the GDPR

The GDPR gives new protection rights and assures better access to your personal data to all participants registering or interacting with evenito. As an evenito client, the GDPR will affect the usage of evenito and the data you (evenito client) will collect:

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

You (participant) can rectify your contacts’ information at any time. You can also contact us or the event organiser directly to ask us to rectify or delete your data.

RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

Lastly, you can contact us at any time to access and modify any of your personal data.
