GDPR compliance
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) took effect on May 25, 2018 and we are aiming to be fully supportive of all regulations helping create a better, safe and secure Internet. We strive to keep our users’ privacy and, whenever possible, to not collect and store personally-identifiable information.

Our Privacy Policy contains mentions of the few instances where personally-identifiable information is required. Typically this will include an email address or a social network username in order to login to Promo.com and manage your account, as well as content that you choose to upload. If data collection is not integral to the way our product works, then we won’t collect it.


Below is our overall status update on our GDPR compliance:

Data Mapping
We have audited all areas of Promo.com to determine what personal data we collect and for what purpose. In the event where we collect personal data which is not essential to our service and business, we will cease that collection process.

We ensured that our privacy policy contains a proper language, easy to understand, and which communicates clearly any instances of personal data collection. Our updated Privacy policy could be found here.
