GoSquared is GDPR Compliant.

Learn how GoSquared goes the extra mile to protect your data and privacy.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects the fundamental right to privacy and the protection of personal data for people in the European Union.

GoSquared services comply with the GDPR.

Protecting our customers’ information and their users’ data is our number one priority at GoSquared. As a data controller and processor we continuously work to ensure our ongoing compliance with the GDPR.

We're always working to innovate our products and practices so we can help our customers respect the privacy of their own customers, and to fulfil their own requirements for data privacy laws around the world, including the GDPR.

Data portability solutions and data management tools

In accordance with the GDPR legislation, we've built the following compliance related tools:

Profile Deletion API

We've introduced an update to our Deletion API with the option to "blacklist" a profile from the GoSquared Customer Data Hub. This enables our customers to respond to user requests to permanently delete personal information, such as names and email addresses, from their GoSquared account.

The update to the Deletion API also prevents the profile from being sent to any third party services connected to GoSquared, as well as preventing the profile from being re-tracked and re-appearing in GoSquared.

Anonymise IP Addresses

By default, GoSquared Analytics anonymises the IP addresses of your website visitors. Learn more about the anonymizeIP option in the tracking code. GoSquared will still track an IP address for each visitor, but with much less precision. This means that a visitor's geolocation will be less precise – a good thing for protecting a visitor's anonymity. For example, you may only see country-level location information – rather than city-level.

Personal Data Export

Under the GDPR legislation, customers of GoSquared can request an export of all personally identifiable information associated with their account.

To request a data export, please contact privacy@gosquared.com.
