If you haven\u2019t been inundated by GDPR, or by a million \u201cwe\u2019ve updated our privacy policy\u201d emails from every web site you\u2019ve ever signed up for, or you\u2019ve landed here simply because the deadline is tomorrow, Friday, May 25th: rest assured we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ExchangeDefender is 100% compliant with GDPR<\/strong>.

The regulation is very broad in terms of scrutinizing everyone that may be holding (controller) or managing\/processing (processor) personal data and ExchangeDefender fits both of those roles at times depending on the product or service we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/templates\/gdpr-video.MOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" title=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"556\" height=\"318\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d rather do without me talking at you for 6 minutes, we have a ton of other resources that you can share with your clients.
