The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been a game-changer in data protection. It has made companies more accountable for the personal data they process and has given individuals more control over their data. Many companies have struggled to comply with GDPR, which can be legally and technically complex. However, companies like Reconomia, a trusted third-party marketplace, have taken a proactive approach to GDPR compliance. In this case study, we’ll explore how Reconomia implemented GDPR and how they used Axeptio, a specialized solution on the market, to collect consent.
Preparing for GDPR
Reconomia had the advantage of launching its website after the arrival of GDPR, which allowed them to be well-prepared for the new measures. They were determined to be completely transparent with their customers, including their data. Before launching the site, they worked on GDPR compliance and were accompanied by experts to ensure they didn’t overlook anything. They wanted to show their credentials as soon as they launched the site to demonstrate their commitment to data protection.
Choosing a GDPR Compliance Solution
Reconomia considered two options for GDPR compliance – building a solution from scratch or using a specialized solution on the market. They chose the second option because they lacked the internal skills to develop their solution and didn’t have time to set it externally. However, they didn’t want to neglect this part, so they chose Axeptio. Axeptio is a complete, secure, and quick-to-implement solution that perfectly meets the requirements of GDPR. Reconomia based its decision on several criteria, such as the simplicity of setting it up and its price. Above all, they wanted a complete solution to reassure their customers when they visit their website.
