For that reason, GDPR applies to any organization in the European Union that is processing personal data, as well as any organization that processes the personal data of EU data subjects, regardless of whether the organization has a presence in the European Union or whether the processing is conducted within the European Union.
If you collect, store, manage, or analyze personal data of any type, including email addresses, it is likely that the GDPR affects your organization.

Make sure your Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy are in line with the GDPR, and are clearly communicated to your audience.

You'll find instructions how to edit & delete contacts here.
In case you want your audience to easily rectify and/or delete their information themselves, you can send them to our public "My Data" page.
The right to data portability and right of access enable contacts to request their personal data. Exporting contact data can help you comply with these request.
The GDPR requires you to be able to demonstrate proof of explicit, affirmative consent from data subjects.
