GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation

November 25, 2025 Updated December 01, 2025

This GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance page outlines how we collect, process, store, and protect your personal data in accordance with European Union data protection laws. As a SaaS service provider, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security. We understand that trust is the foundation of our relationship with you, and we take our responsibilities under GDPR seriously. This page provides transparent information about our data practices, your rights as a data subject, and how we ensure compliance with all applicable data protection regulations. Whether you're a customer, visitor, or user of our services, this information is designed to help you understand exactly how your personal data is handled.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law designed to safeguard the personal data of individuals living in the EU. It establishes clear requirements for how personal information must be stored, accessed, processed, and transferred online. These rules guide our own data-handling practices, ensuring the privacy of both our customers and the customers whose information is shared with us for processing.

As an address-metadata provider, we receive visitor address details in order to match them with the information already stored in our database and deliver accurate, relevant data back to you. During this process, we briefly receive IP address information. Under the GDPR, an IP address is considered personal data because it can be linked to an individual through an internet service provider’s logging and billing systems.

Am i still protected by your GPDR if i don't live in Europe?

Despite this limited and temporary access, your data and the data you entrust to us, remains fully protected under our GDPR-compliant policies. We apply the same rigorous data-protection standards to all users, regardless of their location, and we honor the same rights to data access, portability, and deletion for every customer. Our commitment is simple: everyone deserves the highest level of privacy, transparency, and control over their personal information.
